A while ago, I caught myself in a "keeping" mode when sorting though a pile that contained birthday cards and valentines cards sent to my son. Sure he loved opening them, but unless I was going to scrapbook with them (which is unlikely) he probably was not going to look through them again. Plus I knew the longer I held onto them, the harder it would be to toss them later.
Instead of tossing all of them them, I decided to reuse some. I found the ones with the largest pictures/characters on the front, cut them out, laminated them, added holes with the paper punch, and then bought a 68 cent pair of bright green shoe laces. Ta-dah! Lacing cards to put in my little boy's quiet bag for church.
What a great idea!
