What Do You Do With Old Greeting Cards ?

As I help my clients decide what to toss and what to save, I like to recommend  some ways to "re-purpose" some of their memorabilia into beautiful objects that have practical uses.
Do you have stacks of greeting cards that are special to you?
I can teach you (or make for you) handcrafted place mats that you will be able to enjoy every day of the year.  These durable place mats make unique gifts for your friends and family members.  They can be personalized with a child's name, the family name, made to include photos, or a special prayer.
Take a look below, generate some ideas, and let me know how I can help you  glamorize some of your clutter!
