I was ready to go through my '07 Christmas cards that I received and toss them away when I came upon this clever idea by Junie Moon to make boxes out of them!
Adorable!

About Me
- Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti
- Colorado / New York, United States
- Hello and welcome! I'm Pat, a lifelong New Yorker who has recently moved to a suburb of Denver in the beautiful state of Colorado, so that I can live close to my children and grandchildren. I look forward to learning many new things about my new "mile high" city and I will share them on my blog. New York City will always be my second home, and I will also continue to share many posts about it. My blog's name in Italian means a "Thousand Favorite Flowers." I chose this unusual blog name because researching and writing for my blog, and taking photogrpahs for it, is like another "memory flower" that I am collecting in my bouquet of life. I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog and that you will leave a comment so that I know you've been here. Thanks!

You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person ~ Alec Waugh

I was uplifted above a world of love, hate, and storms of passion, for I was calm amidst the eternal silences, bathing in the living blue. For peace rested that one bright day on the mountaintop. ~ Isabella Bird "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains"

Rocky Mountain National Park
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl
Rocky Mountain National Park
And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, - how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, - new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere. - John Muir
Colorado Beauty
“Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate, and though I oft have passed them by, a day will come at last when I shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun.” - J.R.R. Tolkien,

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. ~Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

1998 - 2013 I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me, but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.

They are fun and easy to make. You can do the same with any greeting card. I think it would be sweet to give someone a little gift in a box made from a card they sent to me previously.
Those are very clever! We all love containers!
How cool is this!! I just sat here and made one so I wouldn't forget about it. I LOVE this post.
I'm having fun reading through your old stuff. I knew I missed out on a lot of stuff before I found you.
I want to comment on everything but I know you have no desire to read a million message from me so I'm holding back.
Hugs,
Joanne
