Greeting Card Organizer
While making my weekly rounds of
yard sales with my mom and daughter, I ran across the neatest little album that
was sold by Hallmark many years ago–it is an organizer for greeting cards!
Inside the album there were pages
with pockets to hold your greeting cards until you are ready to use them. There
were six pages for the months of the year (one month on each side of the page),
and each page had the days of the month numbered with a line next to them (on
the pocket) so you can write in people’s names next to their birthday. In the
back of the album there was a page for holidays and also a page for writing in
people’s names and addresses.
To make your own “thoughtfulness
album” all you need is a three-ring binder and the pee-chee folders that have
pockets in them. You could add any other kinds of extra pages you wish–
anything to help you get more organized. I’m constantly misplacing the cards I
buy for people ahead of time, and this is the perfect way to keep all of your
cards, names, and addresses organized.
You could also decorate your album
any way you wish. If you like to do rubber stamping, decorating a card album
would be a great project! Or maybe add some photos of family members. Let your
imagination run away with you! This album is also a great gift idea–what a
perfect way to give young or new family members your family’s list of names and
birthdays.
