Thrifty Tip

If you save cards like I do, but you don't want to save the envelopes that the cards came in, you can recycle your envelopes into pretty scrap paper. Simply take apart the envelope, and cut off the triangular pieces. You will then have a rectangle of still perfectly good paper to use for grocery lists, or whatever. For those especially crafty people, you could even use craft scissors to give the edges a pretty design (this is by no means original to me, and I don't remember where I got this from, so my apologies to whoever).
