{Turn Greeting Cards into Jewelry}

While on a family gathering in Brainerd Minnesota my sister & I visited a wonderful gift shop called the "Christmas Room". This store is HUGE...3 floors of goodies ranging from kitchen gadgets, seasonal items, home decor, clothing, shoes, baby items, custom furniture, tea room

and....cards...

lots of cards!

Plus a ton of other items I forgot to mention...

If you are ever in the Brainerd area, it is worth a stop! BUT...I would advise leaving the husband at home!

So...I bought a stack of greeting/note cards. I'm pretty certain the lady checking me thought, "My this lady likes to keep in touch with family & friends". Little does she know, this is the lady who stands at Hallmark and can never find thee perfect card...

NEW DISCOVERY...

Greeting cards work great for jewelry making! Now I have my fabric collection, UFO collection, floss collection, scrapbook paper collection, bead collection & now my gift card collection...wonder what a counselor would say about this hording tendency that I have acquired???

BEFORE
