Smile!

So, I've got all my Christmas decorations down now. Mike and I got home Saturday from our week of relaxation and he asked if I was going to take them down this week or wait to the weekend.
Still not sure if that was a real question, or a remark...

Anyhow...

I'm in the process of taking down the final touches right now (can't you tell? Can you say ADD? Or, as my daughter says ADOS - which is one step worse...it stands for "Attention Deficit...Ooooo Shiny!"). The final touches consist of the holly and Christmas cards on my banister.

My question for you is, what do you do with your photo Christmas cards? I am a scrapbooker. (Actually, if I wait any longer to scrapbook, I will be a FORMER scrapbooker, it's been so long...) I value pictures. But, honestly, I must have 20 picture Christmas cards.

Actually, I just counted for accuracy - 26 photo Christmas cards. Just looking at them, there are quite a few I don't think I could part with. Some are just that precious. I think.

I'm also trying to pare down my "stuff" in order to have less piles of things.

Ugh. This is a dilemma.

What do you do when Christmas is over? I have no trouble throwing the Christmas cards away. When I was younger, and somehow more crafty (how did I lose my craftiness?), I used to do things with those, but now I don't keep them - I just toss them and never miss them.

But these photo cards have me in a quandry. Please help...

Ahahahaha I love ADOS, that's great! I keep all our cards too and just throw them in our Christmas bins. Not sure I will ever do anything with them, I just have a hard time throwing them....I;m no help, sorry. :)

I save all the cards with pictures and then....one fine day I might do something with them. Until that day comes, I have no idea what I am going to do with them :o) I'm no help either!! I love ADOS too. In our family it is...Oh wow a butterfly, and the attention is gone :o) My sister and I are quite ADOS :o)

You know, I debated on that for a day whether to throw them away r not. I eventually did because I felt like I would be a pack rat! LOL The cards with pictures are on my fridge, but they need to come down sooner or later. What do I do with them?
