Merry Christmas
framed Christmas card
I paid $1 for the frame. Someone sent me the card in 1999. There is no glass over the card. I just stuck the card in; it fit; it is done. Yes, it is lying flat since I could not bend to get a good picture where it was sitting. It has been used every year.
This is absolutely the prettiest Christmas card I have ever seen. The GED student who gave it to me said I was just saying that to make her feel good and did not believe I would frame it.
Merry Christmas, Linda. It looks great ! I have a framed card that my father game me years ago that he said reminded him of our house. I framed it and now I think of him and all the Winters we spent together as a family when I see that picture.
ReplyDeleteJane,
DeleteMerry Christmas. I also have a card that could well be my daughter when she was about five. I came across it just the other day while going through cards. I need to get it out and frame it for the memories. Of course, a recycled frame will be used. I am glad your father gave you that special card. Did he know you framed it?
Brilliant. I have a drawer full of cards which are too pretty to recycle. Thank you so much for the idea. I need to frame one or two, and change them around so the cards are on display.
ReplyDeleteEC,
DeleteI have cards like that, too pretty to get rid of. Rotating the cards in frames is a great idea. Merry Christmas.
Recycling and Christmas go together. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteIf only that sentiment were on a plaque or embroidered somewhere. Thanks. Merry Christmas.
Brilliant and frugal! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
Sonya Ann,
DeleteThank you. Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas, Linda. That's a nice way to display a lovely card. I have a few special ones tucked away. Perhaps I should frame one or two as well. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWhisper,
DeleteMerry Christmas! Thanks. I put up away the frame and card each year. Even if you painted an old frame, you could display your special cards. This year, I may put out more of my ideas since I am brimming over with them.
Now that's frugal !
ReplyDeleteWean,
DeleteThank you!
That is absolutely beautiful. You're right, it is a very pretty card...so vintage looking. I love upcycling. Funny, but I was just thinking about upcycling...Once the tree comes down, I plan on finishing my project of replenishing the household pillowcase supply from worn out comforter covers. (I only by white, 100 percent cotton bed linens.) I was told by a fiend I was "upcycling " by doing that Not sure my mother would have had a name for it beyond "clever" the utmost compliment. Your framed card is, as she would have said "clever." And I reserve the right to shamelessly copy your idea if I everreceive a card that pretty.
ReplyDeleteForgive my typos on my comments...I use my Kindle and find the touchpad /smart reader very difficult and somewhat painful, but refuse to spring for another laptop when I can use my husband's when necessary.
Meg B.,
DeleteThanks for the compliment. I have been framing unusual things for years. Who can afford art? I need to make pillowcases, too, and from a very expensive flat sheet that split. "Clever" covers quite a few aspects and shows a respect for the other person's brain. That is the utmost compliment. Go ahead and copy the idea. If I have an idea I do not want copied, I will copyright it. Besides, I may have seen someone else frame a card.
All white is great in linens. Very pretty and easy to keep nice.
I hear that some devices are hard to use, but there are not any glaring errors and I just won't examine your comment with a fine-tooth comb. My laptop is breaking, and I have no backup. I mean "breaking" as in pieces are falling off.
