postcard crafting

so i was trying to figure out what to do with my old postcard collection before christmas, and instead of throwing it out, katie suggested that i craft them into the names of my nephews and niece. now this idea was fantastic...so i did it! i cut poster board into their names, then cut the postcards and mod-podged them together. each letter is themed to a certain place. (except for one) lastly i glued them to a ribbon so the kids could hang them somewhere if they wanted. my mom is flying to texas tomorrow to help take care of the kids while joel & louisa go on vacation, so she's going to take them for me. i think they turned pretty good, so thanks for the idea katie!
