does everyone save cards?
ok - space is an issue for me and clutter gives me anxiety... am i horrible for not saving all the "congrats on your baby girl" cards that DD has received? We have a spare room that has become storage for her things and its full already.
i received a couple of scrapbook/albums that i still have not even looked at between work, taking care of her, planning her baptism etc... - i just have not had the time to organize/concentrate on this. I feel guilty

Re: does everyone save cards?
I myself who is not computer savvy have not done this - but I read somewhere that a lot of people take their childrens artwork and scan it on the computer- Dont see why you couldnt do this with cards as well  ...Costco also sells this new "receipt" organizer with a similar principal- It scans those in also !...Technology!

I was totally thinking of doing this with their cards - and saving them all on a CD, except I'd probably lose or break it. 
I only saved cards from their 1st birthday, Christening, Christmas and birth - from family and from DH and I.

Re: does everyone save cards?
I try and save somethings, but i also hate clutter. My mother saved some things for me, and i look at them and say ok now what. i dont have space for it.
I dont know how my dd will be in the future. My sis loves all that stuff from when she was younger. so i try and save stuff for my DD just in case shes more like my sis, than me.

Re: does everyone save cards?
I've saved all the cards for holidays and the baby shower and when from when she was born. I don't know how long I'll keep it up. Maybe I'll make a scrap book out of it. For now, I bought a personalized trunk that I keep them in along with all her first holiday outfits and her coming home outfit.

Re: does everyone save cards?
sorry to crash but my mom saved ALL the cards she got when i was born - i loved looking through them! i plan on doing the same for my kids. she has them in a box with my baby stuff... doesn't seem like it takes up that much room. but then, i'm sentimental that way.

Re: does everyone save cards?
I threw mine all out, except for the ones from his grandparents and aunts (my parents, ILs and our siblings). I put them in in his baby book.

Neither am I. Good thing because I don't even have any room to store a sheet of paper.

Re: does everyone save cards?
I saved the cards he received when he was first born and I am saving all the "1st" cards he received for the holidays. I stick them in a ziplock bag and put them in hi a keepsake box that I now have under his crib. I never thought I would use the keepsake box but it really is coming in handy. I just stick things in it I want to keep for him. I actually went out and bought another one.

I feel bad getting rid of them too but it is crazy all the cards I have. I finally threw out my bridal shower cards but kept my wedding cards. I have all his cards in a ziploc bag but know eventually I will throw them out. How many times am I really going to look at them, ya know?
