QOTD - January 13

[imcrafty]

As I've been tidying up, I'm finding half finished cards and other paper projects that I've got stacked on my desk ready for new inspiration. And, I'm realizing that I have a lot more cards than occasions to send them so I'm getting a box ready for Operation Write Home.

What do you do with your stash of cards/paper projects? Are they for your enjoyment, to give to others? Or, do you sell your stash? Online, craft fairs, local shops? Donate to charities?

I give them (or send them) occasionally, probably about 20 last year. All the rest went into shoeboxes, and at Christmas I let my friends and relatives paw through them and keep as many as they wanted. One of my sisters-in-law cried and cried, she was so thrilled. I am going to do that again, as I got so much enjoyment out of it myself, and everyone else has been passing them around too. So, lotsa happy people.

I use my cards to give away. I will either create something with someone in mind. Or I create to use for a rainy day.

I'm with Kim on this one :-)

I will usually make a card with someone in mind and the others are tucked away for a rainy day. I don't make many cards so don't have the problem of them stacking up.

I have quite a stash that I should use Jan's idea to spread around... that accounts for about half the cards I make, the other half I have someone in mind when I create the card.

I love your idea, Jan!

I have a huge box full that I'm trying to gradually use up(since I'm adding to it). I did manage to use almost all the Christmas cards I'd created this year. I had considered the Operation Write Home project. might do it yet.

I don't create too many cards but I keep them in a shoe box to use. If they are not ones that I had someone in mind for than I usually give them to my Grandma so that she doesn't have to buy cards. She has quite the stash now! LOL
