What do you do with old Greeting cards?

My husband insists on saving greeting cards from the past 15 years. I live in a condo and don't have the space for every valentine, birthday, etc, etc., I receive. He thinks they are memories - I think it's trash. What do you think?

i think some are trash i can not throw away the cards my children gives me.
Reply:I keep them for a little while, maybe a month or so, then I throw them away. My husband also believes in not throwing things that I consider "trash" away. It gets very frustrating sometimes. Throw them away when he's not looking, he'll never miss them.

Reply:trash... I keep the sweet ones, or the memorable ones, but i trash the ones ppl bought in five seconds at the closest Walmart
Reply:i think you could make a scrapbook from the past 15 years.and keep the present gift cards.or put them with the previos ones.and put the years on.
Reply:trash keep only the few that are realy special like from deceased relatives
Reply:save them
Reply:I keep all mine in a small filing folder I bought at Wal-Mart...then just store that away with other important documents.
Reply:I throw lots of mine out, but I would never have the audacity to tell someone else he or she should throw away something he or she values. If he does not want it, he will throw it out. If you want to be crafty, you can cover a box that holds your Christmas decorations with cut-outs from the Christmas cards. You or your husband can cut out some of the favorite pictures, put glitter or fake snow on the pictures, laminate, or shellac the pictures and hang those on the tree. Or decopauge cut-outs from the cards onto ornaments. Maybe make some magnets from the cut-out cards. That way, you will save some space but still have the memory of the card. And you will be displaying your memories rather than piling them in a box where you never look at them. I had a teacher who brought the class all of her old cards and she had us cut out the pictures, and arrange the pictures on wood plaques for the walls. Some of the arrangements looked surprisingly nice.





A lot of good free choices here..

Reply:My grandmother is a card hoarder too! I tend to be, but I move so often I trash them.





Does he ever actually go back and look at them? If so, I guess they should stay around, if not: trash 'em and tell him he's being silly.
Reply:Trash, but I would keep the more memorable ones to appease him. Or just tell him a certain amount for him to pick out, and trash the rest.
Reply:I also keep my cards as mementos of the people, and I look back at them from time to time.


I store them in a box and stack things on top of my mementos box.





I don't keep everyone's, but just the few close people
Reply:If he wants to save them, u can do what my mom did. She got a scrap book and scrap booked all the cards for safe keeping and is much more organized and doesn't take much room at all..
Reply:trash
Reply:To me they are memories. I only keep the ones my beau gives to me. As a matter of fact I put them out during that tiem of the year, then put it away in a box that is specific to just greeting cards.





If you think they are trash then throw them at, I mean if it doesn't mean anything to you why keep it?
