After Christmas Cards

Once again, Pinterest has served up a fabulous a-ha idea…this time in the form of turning Christmas card photos into iphone contacts!

One of the things I dislike most about un-Christmassing my house is filing away all of the gorgeous holiday cards sent from friends and family all over the world.  Unable to bear the thought of tossing them, after Christmas I generally file the cards away in a photo album (though this year they simply went on a big binder clip thanks to new friend A’s ingenious idea.)  And, pretty much exactly once a year, I look back on the pictures and marvel at the stories they tell of the last ten years.  Weddings, babies, trips, more babies, a few second weddings and a lot more babies.

Now I’ll get to enjoy the cards all year long, each and every time my phone rings!

With that, I do solemnly swear to refrain from Christmas posts for at least the next ten months.

PS. A few neighborhood gals invited me to watch the Bachelor last night over cheese, chocolate and wine.  As such, I have been forced to add one more unscrupulous show to my already questionable repertoire.  Ahhh!  Isn’t it terribly good?!?!

  1. I love the phone idea. I save way too many cards each year so that is a great solution! By the way, I have been hooked on watching that stupid Bachelor since day one! I don't think I have ever missed an episode of the Bachelor or the Bachelorette! How embarrassing! I like the girl he went out on the 1st one on one date last night but I think the model is trouble! Unfortunately, I think he is already in love with her! Just my two cents…

  2. Love both the phone idea and putting them on a binder clip.

    Don't feel bad Amanda…. I am still Christmasing too. I'm already planning next year's decor and scouring the internet for sales. LOL

  3. i love this idea. we usually leave our christmas cards up (NOT our decorations though!) until the end of January, so we can look at all the pretty faces of the people we love. i am going to do this phone idea when we take them down! so fun!

  4. That is a great idea! I also like the binder ring idea, I usually just tie mine up in a ribbon and add a tag for the year…and then they get stowed away with the Christmas decor. Visiting from the CSI project :)
