Christmas cards

I love getting Christmas cards. Who doesn't? It's fun to see friends from college (and even some from elementary school) and their families and it's fun to get something besides a bill in the mail. The only thing I don't like about them is the cluttery mess they make. I used to put them on my mantle but they were always falling over or floating off the mantle. Last year I had (excuse my humility) a genius idea. I bought some mini clothespins, like these, thumbtacked some ribbon to the wall, and hung the Christmas cards from the clothespins. As I got more cards, I added more ribbon. This year I upped the ante even more by glittering the mini clothespins. I love it. It keeps them looking neat so I can enjoy them without my OCD causing me grief.
And here's a close up of my clothespins:
(Yeah, they're prettier and sparklier in real life.)
