in my journal. It’s just hard for me to decide which ones.

Thanks for your affirmation the other day. :)

but eventually I have to throw some of them out. I can’t keep them all. And when I put them away in a box I forget where they are.

I threw out a bunch last summer that were in a box I found that was vintage 1986 or so! Over twenty years old! It made me laugh and cry to read through them again, so I’m glad I found them. But I had completely forgotten about them. Kind of like a time capsule.

My mother-in-law had an elderly next-door neighbor who had lived alone for many years. After she died, her son discovered that she had saved every card she had ever received from anyone, including many from my mother-in-law.

I don’t want to be like that. But I will probably save some of my cards. As I wrote to insanity-pending, I have some cards squirrelled away in the pages of my journals.

Thanks for all your support! :)

(At least I don’t have to worry about whether or not to save people’s 43-T comments to me. LOL)

and put them in my box of blank greeting cards. I decided, a la Altoids tins, that maybe I can re-cycle them and make them into new cards and send back to the same people or on to other people.

I have lots of plain vanilla blank greeting cards leftover that I used to use with my pressed flowers, but now that I’ve thrown away the pressed flowers, I can use them with old greeting card images, along with a little cutting and pasting.

How’s your Altoids table coming along?
