Old Cards

I also use some cards for shopping lists too, think I will have a sort out and just keep a few. Thanks for the replies.

I had a big clear-out of mine in January, kept a very few hand-made ones. Amongst the remainder were a number of really pretty pictures which I cut off and they are gradually being whittled away as I use the reverse for shopping and to-do lists.

Amazing the things we do during those dark post-Christmas days when there's no gardening and walking is an endurance test!

I got mine out a couple of years ago and bought some of those scrapbooking albums.

Still haven't done them.

Somewhere in the loft I still have the cards from my wedding 42 yrs ago and the births of the children. I've long since binned anything else. I don't know why I've still got those really when they haven't been out the loft in over 10 yrs.

Don't forget - if you're recycling cards then anything with glitter, tinsel, sticky bits added on, ribbons etc can't go in the card waste (it wrecks the whole load apparently).

Chuck em! (Recycle bin)

In Ze Bin- pronto!!! (recycling of course)

I have a large box (almost trunk-sized) in a spare wardrobe and I save some of them - in boxes inside the box.

Not long ago I had a good sort out and threw out loads but kept some special ones.

Recycle them after a few years except for the hand made ones from the grandchildren which I have so far kept.

Scrapbooks or photos of the cards to keep the memories without the bulk Just keep the really precious ones?

I used to keep them, but since divorcing and downsizing 18 years ago I put them all in the bin. Sadly I just don't have the storage space. My spare bedroom is a dumping ground and an absolute tip!
