Are you still accepting second hand greeting cards? I have some to send if you are.

I've never understood these card recycling schemes. It's great when it supports a good cause but in most areas, greeting cards can be recycled in the normal household recycling along with other paper. Caitlin's last blog post..Photo Friday: Market colour in Dakar

This is a wonderful idea. I’ve always kept my cards thinking one day I would do something creative with them, but I just never did. But now I know the perfect thing to do.

Love reading about this. I do it myself: http://asteriahanover.blogspot.com/2008/12/holiday-cards.html

And am glad to know of a place who will take the leftovers when I get too ambitious! What a perfect program for all of the card exchanging we do and a second life for memories to boot.

That’s a great idea. I usually go thru my Xmas cards and save the ones that I really liked and can’t part with and use them for book marks.
Many moons ago when I went to Catholic School, I didn’t realize that the nuns were recycle minded. They used to ask all the children to bring in their old cards. They would cut out what they used for crafty items and we used up the rest for scrap paper used for a quiz or just to figure out some math problems. Local businesses would donate all kinds of other paper.
We were not funded by the town or the state, so they recycled.
Tuition was $25.00 a year. Can you believe that?
