Over the year we receive numerous postcards- from postcrossing, frim the Guiding Postcard swap, from friends, from family. As the year goes on we slowly end up with a kitchen covered in these mesages from everywhere from China to Orkney and when they come down for Christmas (to be replaced by cards obviously) I need to do something with them. It seems a shame to throw them out, they are so pretty, interesting and funny. One of two inevitably end up in frames but that still leaves a lot of others.
I could just bundle them into a box, a folder, a drawer... but that's no fun. They would end up covered in unknown sticky goo, used to prop up wobbly tables, capture spiders and who knows what. Nah.
Take a hole punch (fun shape optional) and a ribbon. And Voila! you have a postcard record of your year. I keep mine with the photo albums and the girls enjoy looking at them as much as they do their photo albums.
