beautiful idea

I was just at my friend Robin's house and she had all of her Christmas cards in a basket on the living room table. It wasn't just cards from this year, but previous years as well. I loved that idea. But then I saw Design Mom's post about how she keeps a basket like this out all year around and it not only has Christmas cards but baby announcements and other picture cards. She says the basket switches locations through out the year, but it's always around. Periodically she clears out cards she no longer needs to keep, but usually it just keeps filling up. I'm starting this as soon as I get a nice basket to keep them in, I just wish I would have done this sooner!
