Now Christmas is done...

What to do with all those Chrissy cards???

Turn em into boxes:

Or a garland:

A paper/card ball:

Hmmm this could be fun with left over christmas paper:

Oooooh and there's even a bOOk!

This is my favorite idea:

Chrissy card angels:

...and one really *FuN* thing to do is send em back with a new note from you to the original sender and then they send it back and so on... then they become little memory/history cards

Hee! Hee! and while i was a doing this, Lara and a little friend were a doing this:










ChEEky little inventive monkeys X;-)

...Oh and (Ps) Had a little op shop find today when i braved the heat to pay a bill and return some library books... Found a text book that normally retails for around the $60 mark for $3 (!!! For Lara next year) and a gorgeous little book of quotes for 50 cents
X:-) Thankyou Universe X:-)

My Nana has made (shes in spirit now :) the Christmas card baskets and lift up lided boxes out of Xmas cards ever since I was a little girl. I have received so many of them, I still have quite a few of them too! They make me smile :)
I turned all of mine into Christmas gift tags ready for next Christmas!
Love the picture the girls did :) very inventive and very funky!!
You have been on my mind today, I am going to try and make some time to balance you tonight :)
Love you
