First Pinterest Project- Very Simple


My craft abilities are very close to a zero. My creative thoughts are sometimes close to a 5. But with Pinterest these numbers are only going to get higher! This project takes no skill or special abilities but is very useful I thought and it was FREE!
We are blessed to get many Christmas cards and I LOVE them all. But what do you do with them after the holidays? The stack has sat next to my trash for 3 days. I just could not throw them away. Our friends have spent countless hours taking pictures, ordering cards, addressing them, and spending hard earned money to spread Christmas joy. It made me too sad to simply throw them away. Well last night on Pinterest I found this very, very simple way to organize your cards and keep them for years (and that is what I will do since I am a borderline hoarder).

All you need are some Christmas cards...

and one of these "O" ring thingies and...

a hole punch and you get this.....

I think I will add a little ribbon to the ring to jazz it up a bit.
Does that boast my creativity number?

So glad you all had a wonderful Christmas. Love this idea! I have a friend who keeps the Christmas cards and uses them all year long by letting each of her children pick one card and they pray for that family before dinner. This would be such a great way to keep it organized, though.
