My mom would say to us, "I only want letters/cards for gifts."<br />Find a way to save those.

Have not found a cute enough binder for such ... so in the box they stay.<br /><br />2. I have kept one for each kid. One for us and 2 as a spare and tossed the rest.<br /><br />3. Did you like the students? If not, toss. If so, I always stuffed them into my yearbooks.<br /><br />4. Make a scrapbook or toss them.<br /><br />5. Do you like these people? If not, toss. If so, send them the pix back...surprise! If they are of you, scan them or toss, otherwise, set aside a day to either scrap book them, or put them in a photo book. I suggest titling that book, 'Deadletter Office'.<br /><br />6. Save that for her. Do you have some sort of filing system for each kid? Right now I am saving things in page protectors and 3 ring binders (which I did not realize till I wrote this comment was a thing for me, curious)<br /><br />7. Find a way to display, or store. If not, toss.<br /><br />8. Do you like these friends? See also #1.

Do it now before there are boxes of them.<br />6. Date them, laminate them and make a book you can add to with the boys.<br />7. See #1<br />8. Toss them unless you can name the vital statistics of said friends without looking.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746646721702657420noreply@blogger.com
