Christmas Cards

I have had a Christmas Card holder since the second year Nick and I were married. I liked it fine, but I found that when it gets to about this time of the season, I was having to make choices about which faces I covered and which stayed displayed as cards rolled in each day. Maybe it was just because my card holder didn't have enough "holders," but, whatever the reason, I always hated that some of the sweet faces were covered.

Either last year or the year before, one of my friends in Indy--Becky--had a lovely display of Christmas Cards across the windows in her sunroom. All of the cards were displayed on ribbon that she had attached to her windows with suction cups. It was simple, beautiful and, best of all, you could see every precious face!

So, I shamelessly stole the idea.
daytime
nightime
Now, I can see precious faces of those I love and don't get to see nearly enough...
And the sweet faces of those I do see more frequently...
and the precious ones that I haven't yet had the joy of meeting ...
It is perfect for me and very cheerful in our breakfast nook!

You (and Becky) are so creative! I wish that I had a window like that in my house! For now, the side of my refrigerator will have to do!

Love y'all!
