What do you do with all the greeting cards you receive?
I love getting cards and truly appreciate the thought behind them. And I keep a lot of them! Steven and I have three “sentimental” boxes each that we keep cards, letters, travel brochures and other things in.
I don’t think I will ever get rid of this one from Anne. What could be better than several Henrys congratulating me?
But I can’t hold on to all of my cards, forever. Three years ago, I went through them all (and blogged about it, of course) and it was a really fun memory exercise. It’s time to do that again!
Only this time, I actually know what I am going to do with the cards I pitch! We got an email at work this week, asking for donations of old cards for St. Jude:
The name removed Team is collecting used holiday and other greeting cards through the end of February for the St. Jude’s Ranch for Children Recycled Card Program. The program removes the card fronts, recycles them into new cards, and resells them. Deposit your cards in the collection bins on floors location removed. Only the front of the card will be used, 5×7″ cards or smaller are preferred, and Hallmark, Disney, and American Greeting cards are not eligible.
It’s dorky, but I am kind of excited to go through the cards and take some in to work, to donate. I’ve also been thinking about starting to scan the ones I like but don’t want to hold on to (for whatever reason). Might as well have a digital sentimental “box” too!
