DIY Holiday Cards Keepsake

Turn all of your holiday cards into a keepsake memory book. 

I've seen this around the internet many times before and always thought it was a great idea.  Somehow, I managed to find an excuse not to do this for years, until now.  It took less than 5 minutes and will be a great keepsake to look back on over the years.  Especially as my daughter grows and starts a family of her own.  A snap shot of our friends and families at Christmas will be captured in time for whenever we want to reminisce. Great to display every Christmas to see how we all change!

Here's what you need:

Cards
Hole Punch
String

Here's what you do:

1.  Gather all the holiday cards you received, including your own.

2.  Mark the top left corner and begin punching holes through all the cards, making sure they all line up.

3.  Create your own "cover".  I chose a simple "Merry Christmas 2013" to easily mark the year and keep each year consistent.

4.  Thread your string through the hole and tie in a pretty bow.  Voila!

5.  Store in a memory box or with all of your Christmas decorations and take out to display each year. 

“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
