your input please...


I've been trying to come up with a way to enjoy the Christmas cards that are sent to us a little more. I've just always put them in a basket on a table...not really getting to look at them much. So, here is my solution. Ribbon & glue dots.
I stapled the ribbon to the top of the door (shhhhhh...) and just secured the ribbon to the door with removeable glue dots. Then, as cards come in I can just stick them on with another glue dot.
Lame or cute?
I'm not easily offended. Even if you vote lame, it's staying. It's up, and I sliced my finger in the process (makes me enjoy the pointed ends on the end of the ribbon that much more!!!

You are brillant! It looks great. I'm copying.

Pretty impressive that you already have a card to display.

I think that is a fabulous idea and so cute. Just don't expect a Christmas card from us cuz I only do them about every 5-8 years and I think I did them a couple of years ago so I'm still good for a while. I guess if I did send you one I would expect it front and center for all to see!

I do that exact same thing with the ribbon and my cards but I display it each year on my pantry door and on the kitchen cupboards. Bart just loves when the ribbon gets in his way as he opens anything in the kitchen.

I vote cute, and will also be copying you.

But I must know, who has already sent you a card? I mail mine on December 1st, on the dot, every year. How do you already have one? WHO IS FASTER THAN ME?

Paige said...

Love it. you may want to copywrite it as I am copying it too b/c you are brilliant. Do I have to go to a craft store to get glue dots? The horror.

It is definitely cute!! It is adorable!!!!!

I am going to copy that, too...I like to rely heavily on the genius of others ;)

(I just taped my cards on the door in the kitchen...this is way cuter!)

i did the same thing last year, only i used staples. i like the glue dot idea better. i hung them in front of one of our big kitchen windows so you can see them from outside when you walk up on the deck.

then i threw them all away on january 1st. is that wrong???

I love it! It'll be interesting to see if the glue dots hold with the door opening and closing.
