Todays decluttering mission, for January 4th, 2015, is to declutter Christmas cards, or at least to store them so theyre not just sitting out being paper clutter in your home. While this task may seem easy to some, there are others who really struggle with this project. I believe the reason for that is because these cards, like all greeting cards, really represent more about the special relationships we have with our friends and family than the cards, themselves, would seem to otherwise indicate. That doesnt negate the fact, however, that after Christmas is over we often have a huge stack of cards laying around on counters, or covering the refrigerator, and they really become clutter instead of something to enjoy anymore. Therefore, here is my advice for what to do with them after the season (be sure to get any contact information you may want from the cards), separate the photos and store with your other photos, keep a scrapbook of the family newsletters and repurpose the rest. There are countless ways cards can be repurposed, here are just a few; make gift tags, use for shopping lists or note taking, use for bookmarkers, use to decorate bags for gifts, use in various arts and craft projects. The ones that dont make the cut for one of these goes in the garbage. Have a great Sunday!
