365 DAY BIRTHDAY


Just a quick post to ask I am the only person who displays my cards in my own home?? - In our house we seem to have a celebration on 365 days of the year in some capacity or other.

When friends and family visit I do get some strange looks - especially when Christmas cards are on display in September (which happened last year).

I usually put my newly made cards on display for a couple of days (incase I decide they need adjustments) and then they get replaced with other newly made .... and so on.....

Am I a bit weird or what?? - My lounge is always jolly and colourful.
Please tell me I am not the only one who does this.!!

  1. No you aren't. Years ago I remember Jill at The Stampman calling it the mantelpiece test.

  2. Don't fear you are not alone I also do this and yes I get the strange looks and the comments too especially if I have made something as a dummy try and place either my husband name or one of our childrens on the cards. I did have to giggle when I read the post as is does sound strange.

  5. You are not alone. I also like to display my work for a few days when I have finished a project. It can give a new perspective when you get a quick glance of your work, and are not right in the middle of creating it. I think it might be one of those "Can't see the forest for the trees" kind of things. Linda S. in NE

  6. It's so nice seeing the cards you've made and the ones you've received, so why not put them on display?
    I do that very often myself... ;)

  7. I have never done this but what a good idea! I normally look at it on my little easel, and maybe the next day realise what it needs to just finish it perfectly!

  9. I wish I had room to display them...I have a few on display in my crafty space, but not many people visit there. I think it's great!

  10. Well, I hadn't thought of doing this but I will now! I craft in one corner of our study and there are bookshelves along one wall so I usually put my new creations up there until there's no more space, then they go into a box until they are needed. I think the mantlepiece is a much better display zone though - LOL, Nicki.
