I recently returned from a six-month stint in Guatemala where I worked as a human rights accompanier. I received many, many greetings cards of support and encouragement which I'd now like to tastefully/artistically save in some sort of book or album. Any ideas for how to go about doing it?
Thanks!!

You could scan them and put them in a "digital scrapbook"

I made a xmas card quilt this past holiday season. You could do that. Another craft idea I heard about was to take a large juice can (HiC type), remove both ends with a can opener. Rinse can and dry. Cover outside with contact, wall or wrapping paper or foil. Or I guess you could paint it. Then take twine, raffia, or yarn wrapping lengthwise, top to bottom thru the hole and back around. Until the entire can is covered in yarn like material, knot and secure inside. Then for each strand on the outside, you slip a card thru it. This display can stand on a tabletop or bookcase shelf.
