I still own every single birthday card I’ve received since the age of 1. I read through a bunch I received as a child when I was having a big clear out last year (I clearly didn’t let go of the cards though). I feel like birthday cards hold so many memories…or maybe it’s the hoarder in me typing right now!
I can remember a handful of birthdays and everything from what I did to who I spent my birthday with. Who knows I may never throw them away! I found a bag full of my birthday cards from my 21st birthday, it was a great birthday and I wish I was 21 again!

Living With No Excuses 
You should start a notebook or something like a scrapbook. I recently found a box of cards and letters in a box. I am thinking of doing a scrapbook to keep them in decent condition.

It’s okay to keep old birthday cards. That’s not hoarding, those are signs of love. I like the ideas above – put them into 3-ring binders or something.

That’s true 🙂 I keep most of them in a trunk. I’m thinking about putting them in photo albums. It wouldn’t feel right throwing them away, especially the ones with heart filled messages.

Haha It isn’t like this every year! The amount of cards I receive fluctuates. I don’t like to make a fuss and I rarely see all my loved ones on my birthday. On my 21st birthday I went to dinner with my friends and the following day I had dinner with my family 🙂

That is awesome. My mum is still holding on to a few of my items and there are a few cards within in. I’m curious if my memory will be jogged by any of them. Coincidentally I just celebrated a birthday yesterday. I didnt receive a card though.

You should go through them one day 🙂 Oh that’s a shame! Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed your birthday. Is your birthday on the 10th or 11th? I’m uncertain which day was yesterday for you due to the different time zones. My birthday was on the 10th! Happy Belated Birthday!!
