Today I am sharing with you a basket made from Christmas cards that my Mom made 25-30 years ago with her church for a fundraiser. She also made one for each of her six children. This is mine, and I love it more each year! They cut out the cards, punched holes around them, crocheted them together and put a clear sealer over it all. The cards are so sweet. My Mom really enjoyed making these. I'm still not great at photography, but I think you can see the detail, and how pretty it is.
Have a joyful weekend!!

There are so many talented people out there. That is very clever.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I have saved a bunch of Christmas cards. I need ideas for them. I have seen several now. So I think I will continue to save my Christmas cards. But I need to pull them together into one place, like store all in a box or something.
ReplyDeleteHow smart! AND what a treasure from your mom-thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, and so much more special having been made just for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
That is simply amazing!!!!! I want to make one now for myself. I am going to steal this idea for sure. I'm just wondering if I can actually do something this intricate. Whoa....love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today. Please return, any time. I love the company!!! Happy weekend.
Hi Becky...thanks for visiting me today. Your basket is so pretty. I have seen them before, but I really like the cards your mom chose. So sorry that you lost both your parents so quickly. Life is difficult, but wonderful. I am happy to see that the Lord has walked with you through that journey and you are on the side of joy again! Hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea!!! That is really special/neat! I may have to try my hand at that sometime. Thanks for sharing your card basket, and thanks for stopping by on my blog today. :o)
