I keep them all BUT....when I was at Primary school I had a teacher who would tear the picture side off and it would be used as a bookmark or used for reading ie what pages we were to read, could see if a local primary school do a similar thing or donate them to schools for arts and craft purposes
Have kept ones from 21st birthday (wish I'd done the same for 18th but didn't think about it at the time) and all those from MrS, also have some from when I was 1 that mum kept for me and all others are chucked.
I turned mine into 3d gift tags for the local renal unit for years and raised hundreds of pounds. They didn`t send a sorry card when OH died so now I bin them.
I am really bad - I have every birthday card that has been sent to each of the little peeps (and all the mother's/father's day that they have sent to us).
Tony. Lots of patience but I love fiddling with things. Cut out interesting, funkiest pictures and mount on tag sized card using sticky pads. Play with colours and shapes to get really good effects.
I keep all my birthday cards and ones from other special occasions!! I like cards! I would be happy with a really nice card instead of a crappy present lol!!
I just looked through them all the other night :-)
