If I get time I will probably post it when I do my white room. I also put them in my china hutches or on tabletops. I have one that I rec'd 10 yrs. ago probably that was from Dayspring and it talks about Jesus and who He is and I love it and put it out every year hoping any who come reads it.<br /><br />Loved your picnicked picture and the caption you sent to your grandchildren, that was perfect,<br />so cute! and now you need to get someone to take <br />a nice picture of the 2 of you standing side by side and smiling, cause your kids and grandkids will want those one day...................<br /><br />Hope you are having a very Merry christmas season.<br />blessings, NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-17083854162756316062011-12-13T08:13:58.318-05:002011-12-13T08:13:58.318-05:00Lovely card indeed, Rebecca!

If possible I reuse mine by taking off the signature page, pasting the front onto a fresh folded blank card, adding Christmas stickers, and rewriting the message. It's a little work but saves some money.Blu-I'd-Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697064786593632939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-73931131330955073082011-12-12T18:22:19.877-05:002011-12-12T18:22:19.877-05:00I am a lover of cards anyway so I save all my Chri...I am a lover of cards anyway so I save all my Christmas cards. Each year I take out those that I think are really beautiful and make a new collage on a wall near our front door or on the hall closet door. It's fun to do and very festive too. This card is so beautiful and the meaning is what Christmas is all about.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888547092318964711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-2262706135242708672011-12-12T17:23:31.622-05:002011-12-12T17:23:31.622-05:00What a beautiful card... and perfect message!What a beautiful card... and perfect message!Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-82206306409055849832011-12-12T15:17:52.621-05:002011-12-12T15:17:52.621-05:00One of the things I've done in the past and am...One of the things I've done in the past and am planning on doing this year is taking the cards, at least the inside of the cards where the names are located, and create a prayer journal for the next year. Each day, I flip through the cards (one per day) and pray for the family who sent it.<br /><br />Just a thought... <br /><br />I've seen others use the pictures to make ornaments and other items for Christmas. Also, some have cut the front of the card off and used it as a postcard for next year.<br /><br />Beautiful card. Beautiful words given to me today at my blog.
