Confession: I feel guilty throwing away Greeting Cards. No matter what the card says, or why it was given to me there is always a lengthy process that goes into throwing away cards. The first step in this process is, of course, just storing the cards away in a drawer for a while. Then, when it comes time to clean that drawer I have to re-read every single card and relive the occasion it was intended for. After wasting all that time and still not having cleaned the drawer, I must decide which ones will stay and which ones will go...for now. I call this the 'first cut'. For the cards that don't make 'the cut' they will either end up in the 'could probably scrapbook with this pile', the 'I'm only throwing it out because they didn't write enough in it pile', or the 'I guess I'll just throw it back in the drawer again... pile'. And there ya have it, the lengthy process starts all over again.
However, instead of throwing away all my Christmas cards this year (and lets be honest, this is the first year I've actually gotten enough Christmas cards to craft with), I decided to make a "Card Book". Easiest Wednesday night craft, ever!
All you need is all your cards, some thick thread, and a needle.


...Yup, that's a Santa taking a poop down a chimney... Funniest card we got all season.
This is what it said inside ---->
Start by weaving the thread through the spine of the cards, there isn't really a wrong way to do it.
There ya have it, Card Book.
