I enjoy doing crafts and if I can do them by recycling its even better. I save old Christmas cards for the following year. Cut out into shapes, punch a hole and run a ribbon thru it and use them tags on gifts. I usually buy wrapping paper, cards and stationary when its on clearance and use them for crafts. Since I have a lot of relatives I print out pictures of the kids I have taken throughout the year on the stationary with an update of our activities and enclose it in Christmas cards to everyone. Using nature to help me design my own cards on cardstock it another little craft I like to do. With a few sprigs of pine and a can of spray paint in your chose of color, place sprig on card and lightly spray the paint, remove sprig and sprinkle with glitter, let dry completely. Add a small bow and lightly scent with pine if you like for a finishing touch. I love the holidays and I dont let them get so costly when I do much of the decorations myself.
