Each year I look forward to December and receiving Christmas cards. I love real mail delivered by the mail man. Moreover, I enjoy sending mail almost as much as discovering a hand written card in the mailbox.
Last year I made this Christmas card hanger that is strung up above the couch in the living room. I made the letters using old book pages, pipe cleaners and letters I printed from Picnik.
The Christmas cards are secured to the picture hanging wire with these tiny clothespins.
A large vase filled with Grandma’s vintage Christmas ornaments and some battery operated lights to add more cheer to the room.

Such a great display. I love your idea for the card holder and really just adore the balls in the vase. Never thought to put lights in there. I am a new follower visiting from Fireflies and Jellybeans. Vicky from Mess For Less
