What is it about a mother's handwriting? My own and my mother's are so different - I love hers and have kept many tender notes that she sent over the years.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-27481419417575370102007-01-30T11:56:00.000-05:002007-01-30T11:56:00.000-05:00I've still got valentines, Taraz and Megan's weddi...I've still got valentines, Taraz and Megan's wedding announcement, birthday greetings, thank-you notes, and Christmas cards sitting on shelves in my den. They hold such sweet sentiments, I cannot bear to relinquish them. In fact, I still have the tiny floral greeting card my mother gave me when one of my children was born, over 23 years ago, pinned under a bouquet of silk flowers on my bathroom wall. "You are in my thoughts" is written in her careful handwriting on the front of the little card. She passed away ten years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-48175778890263034302007-01-30T11:25:00.000-05:002007-01-30T11:25:00.000-05:00For many years I found it oh so hard to throw a ca...For many years I found it oh so hard to throw a card away. Sigh! When we moved last year I had boxes and boxes of them that finally went in the trash, and I thought how silly I had been to keep them all these years. So now, store bought cards are enjoyed for the moment and pitched. Hand made cards are a bit different though. Original artwork or pictures are kept in albums for sure.Cuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015697402688623317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-21053010734874040032007-01-29T21:45:00.000-05:002007-01-29T21:45:00.000-05:00Good advice Cathy.

I keep the really nice ones or those with a special message (for what I don't know - until next year I guess), but the rest I put in the trash the same day they're received.<br /><br />(Cowering with shame)LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-38351160142994194882007-01-29T21:04:00.000-05:002007-01-29T21:04:00.000-05:00I agree.

I keep thinking there must be some creative use for these cards, but haven't come up with it yet.<br />I totally agree--keep moving on. No need to go back. By now, folks won't remember who sent cards or not (unless they are anal and keep a list).KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.com
