  1. Ingrid and Lesley, I enjoy all your episodes and enjoyed this one as well. Nonetheless, I love my card box (your #3) and I understand that you as PO would not recommend it for someone. However, as you indicated that it does work for some. So I am that someone.

    The key to it working for me is:
    1. I do not buy cards to go into it (with exception of some blank cards and a set of thank you cards).
    2. It holds the extra cards from a box of Christmas cards to be used the next year. It also holds cards I didn't use. For example, I might buy 2 sympathy cards and my husband and I will pick the most appropriate and I put the extra in the box.
    3. All cards have to fit or they are given away if in good condition to Goodwill.
    4. I go through the box every January and remove cards that do not resonate with me any longer, are bent, or haven't used (like the left-over Christmas cards) in a year or so.
    5. I also keep the wintery return address labels in it.

    Here is a link to my box (hope link works). https://photos.app.goo.gl/F9tmH2oZTvaLB6Mw7

    Thank you for doing these episodes.

    1. Hi Marion,

      Lovely to hear from you and I'm delighted to hear your card box is working for you.

      You have a good system in place for buying new cards, going through your box once a year and disposing or donating cards that no longer resonate.

      This is exactly why your box is working for you. Thank you for sharing your picture. It's lovely.

      Ingrid
