When thinking of what one might do with old cards, wrapping paper, school supplies, ribbons, craft supplies think of a local nursing home or retirement center. The one that my Mom lived in had a scrapbooking/card making session once a month. With all the things that are available you can use anything. Like I got a card today that was in a purple envelope. My Mom could have used that one envelope for many things. And when she finished with what she thought was all useable pieces she would have cut the final little pieces into confettit to put into a card. The ladies that do this class belong to a church that comes in once a month and everything they buy comes out of thier own pocket. Organizational things they can use. When we all got all of our things out of Moms apartment and all that was left we thought was trash, we invited these girls to come look through stuff before we threw it away and they had such a good time.
