What do you do with old postcards and letters home and birthday cards and xmas cards?
Recycling Xmas Cards and Birthday Cards
Angela Lansbury I keep birthday cards at the back of my birthday card box. Same with Christmas cards. Sometimes you have an unexpected birthday or need a xmas card and can't get to the shops. You can create a novelty card using the collage of parts of old cards.
When you get older and your parents and friends start dying, you will treasure those old cards.
Your own old cards remind you of trips.
Diary With PhotosI found a diary I had made when I was at school of my my school trip to ski in Austria. All very uneventful, except for the photo of myself in old lace-up ski boots. How times have changed!
Storage and Retrieval The question is, are your souvenirs easy to find? You can store items on shelves or in shoe boxes, or shoe boxes on shelves, either in date order or by country, with an index at the front, plus another list using the other system.
For a neat effect, print out all the names of countries and years and stick the cut out words and dates on the sides of the boxes. Measure up so all the labels are level, such as two inches above the shelf.
Duplicate brochures and postcards can be used as backgrounds for the ends of the shoeboxes used to save brochures and letters.
