The Christmas Book

What do you do with Christmas cards and photos after the holiday season? For the longest time I didn't know what to do with them after displaying them on the walls during the Christmas season. They weren't all the same size and shape so I couldn't put them in a photo album. I don't like storing loose photos. So I finally came up with the idea, after looking at my scrapbook magazine, to put them in a book like this. I got this spiral notebook with thick cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I can make a book of my Christmas cards! I have done it one year and I love it so far. So I'd thought I'd share just in case you had the same problem - where do I put these photos?

p.s. I also do this same thing with odd size pictures sent to me in the mail. It works great and it is so fun to have a collage of pictures of my friends and family.

What a great idea. Your book from last year, of course, looks so professional!

Such a great idea... I love it when people share their great ideas... and I didn't even have to ask! I like how you tied the fabric strips to the spirals too...

Fabulous idaea! I have stacks of old cards, and I hate to throw them away, but I son't know what to do with them! Now I have a new project to work on, it will have to wait until after Christmas!

What a great Idea! I am HORRIBLE at scrapbooking and crafts. I hate not having the time to do it... Or I should say taking the time. I wish I were Audra!!! She has it all! :) But seriously, that is such a great idea!!!! I will be sending you a Christmas card out hopefully next week!!
