Like most people, we receive a lot of cards through the month of December. Â We started off trying to just dedicate a counter space to them. Then it took over an entire sideboard table. Â Before long it was just too much to dedicate a flat space to. Â We decided we needed to think of something else to display them but have them out of the way. Â Several years ago we decided to start hanging them on the door. Â I took a big ribbon & made a bow- then tied it to the door like a gift. Â I keep a hole punch & a baggie of ribbons near where I open the mail & whenever we get a new card they get a punch & tied on to the door.
Now I know this looks sad- only 2 cards on there right now. Â That is because we just moved in to our cabin a week ago. Â By the end of the month the whole door will be filled & I will have run out of space. Â When I take them down I keep each year’s cards bundled with the ribbon so when I start setting up next year I can look back & see just how much everyone has changed & remember what everyone was doing.
Be sure to come back tomorrow to join me for my 12 Days of Christmas- Holiday Bucket List Linky Party
What a fun idea!! Love the wall color by the way, so much warmth! And the linky sounds fun! I am making cookies this weekend so I’ll have to link up next week!
Great idea! I never know how to display ours well. This is cute! Looks like a cozy cabin! Very Christmasy!
Your tree is beautiful! Love the idea!
I LOVE the idea of the ribbon on the door… looks really cool

Great idea!! I wouldn’t have thought of that. Your tree is gorgeous too, and your place looks so warm and inviting 🙂
what a great idea!!!
cute idea – I’m too lazy for that this year – a stack they will be in!
Such a cool idea. We usually just store them on the counter.
