Parenting - Greeting Card Organizer
Greeting Card Organizer
by Rachel Paxton - rachel@creativehomemaking.com
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.
