Anyway, I appreciate your comments and ideas.

I do know that our church takes cards and cuts the pictures and uses them as tags on the flowers that they take to shut ins, and nursing homes on a weekly basis. Also I know that nursing homes and childrens hospitals love them to use for crafts. I know that i will be "recycling a lot of mine soon.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112106514763478277noreply@blogger.com
