There is literally one month out of the year that I get excited to check the mail.  The other eleven months I can guarantee my mailbox will be filled with neighborhood flyers, bills and love letters from Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn and DSW telling me how much they’ve missed me over the past six billing cycles.  It’s at that moment it’s revealed to me how they have this target marketing thing down to a science.  And, how thankful I am that I have found greater joy these days in the intangible.

So, with this being the one month that your friends and family are wishing you peace, tidings and joy we must find a way to showcase these salutations.  Up until this last year, I was guilty as charged with hanging my Christmas cards on a door with magic tape.  And before that, I stalked out all of my “free” marketing magnets from Dr’s offices and hung our very favorites on the fridge for all to see.  The other idea I witness every year, is hanging them on your family Christmas tree. Don’t get me wrong, these are all great ideas. Because, at the end of the day these cards have pictures of those that you love wishing you all the best in the New Year to come.  And that my friends, is what it’s all about. But what if we could achieve that while making a statement and creating a floating, masterfully created piece of art.  My solution, a Christmas Card Tree.   Let me share mine with you. 

 

It starts with two things…  A wintery tree for you & me.

 

 

Drapery rings to hang the bling…

 

 

 

And together, they’ll find beauty for all to see…. 

 

 

Use your creativity and hang each card at different levels, heights and variations.  You can use as many or as little rings as you’d like.  I believe I have close to forty on this tree. I hope you find this little piece of Christmas inspiring enough to create in your own home.  Merry Christmas friends!  And remember, if you’ve ever near, you’re always welcome HOME. God Bless ❤
