Crafting Tip for the Week: Card Mailing

 Crafting Tip of the Week:

 

Card mailing:

 

I was reading another presenter’s blog and she suggested that you go ahead and get your cards for the next month ready to mail and put the date in pencil on the back of the envelope.  So I thought I would jot down a few other tips:

 

Review your calendar and see how many cards you are going to need for the month:

1.     Birthday

2.     Anniversaries 

3.     Thinking of you, etc.

4.     A couple of Sympathy 

5.     Thank you cards    

 

Create a folder and pre address envelopes especially for birthdays, anniversaries and keep them ready for when you create the card. That way you are not searching for the addresses

 

Make a perpetual calendar for example - Line list in a notebook if you don’t do calendars. Put the month at the top of each page and then number every other line – that will be able to list the names by the dates. For example:

 

            January

            1

            2

            3 John

            4 Kenneth, Kent, Jim

            5

            6 Bryan, Nicole, Mary

    So forth and so on. . . 

 

Another perpetual calendar my friend Nesa made for me: It has the month on the front and on the back are the dates. All I need to do is list people on the back of each of those months and that way I can get my cards ready for the month. 

 

Am I good at keeping up with the cards? To be honest I’m not, but I keep trying and that is all you need to do. Keep trying. You will find a system that works for you.

 

Hugs,
