organizing christmas cards.

this was the first year i didn't put up any christmas decorations.  i battled with this idea for a while and then, as the stress of leaving for three weeks piled up, i decided it really wasn't worth the extra anxiety.

the one thing i really missed more than the wreaths & ornaments & sparkly lights were christmas cards.  i love opening them as the arrive to our house and reading about our friends & family (and an added bonus are always the cards that include pictures!).  i save these cards year after year and love to look back on our christmas history.

so, to preserve these christmas memories, i decided to use a bit of mini book inspiration (my sister-in-law & mom helped with this idea as well) and i love this christmas card book.
