Cards from the heart

My 97-year-old grandmother, Minnie, makes her own Christmas cards to send. She saves the Christmas cards that others send her and then reuses them the next year by cutting them up and gluing them onto new blank cards. She mixes and matches the designs and pictures and then handwrites an appropriate verse for each recipient. We all love to receive her special handmade cards at Christmas. It doesn't cost her much. It keeps her mind and hands busy.
