The intention was there but they just. didn't. happen.
My pregnancy nausea kicked in right around Thanksgiving and I went downhill from there. I was sick. I was tired. And I just didn't care. We stayed home for Christmas {which was wonderful} and we kept it simple and relaxed. We put up a tree and hung stockings and I put together this little craft for hanging Christmas cards.
While I didn't send one, I loved getting them all season long. I love checking the mail during December. And I love displaying all of the cards I get. So, here's what I did.
I wanted to hang the cards with clothes pins but even glittered ones stilled looked ugly on the sides to me. So, I started out dying the clothes pins. I figured if vinegar and food coloring worked for eggs it would work for clothes pins. And it did. I didn't keep track of the ratio I used but I put a LOT of drops of food coloring in enough vinegar to cover the pins.
After the clothes pins dried I brushed one side with Mod Podge then sprinkled on glitter. The porch made for a great place to glitter so it wasn't all over my house.
I strung some satin ribbon on a wall with clear 3M Command Mini Hooks.
As Christmas cards arrived in the mail, I placed them up on the wall with a clothes pin. By the end of the month only the photo cards and handmade cards remained as I ran out of room. I'll have to hang more ribbon next year!
