I have another easy organization project for you that comes
straight from my mother! She often has some great storage ideas that I
immediately want to copy and try in my home. One of those ideas was a handy and
organized storage option for greeting cards.
I know some people often have random greeting cards for
every holiday of the year just lying around in their office, in a shoe box, stuffed in a drawer, etc. And for some people when it’s time to send a thank
you card or a birthday card you spend quite a lot of time trying to locate the
card that you know you bought last week, but don’t remember where you put it.
Well here is the perfect option. Just buy a small plastic
tub and insert labeled tabs.
We bought some heavy duty paper (card stock would work) and
printed different category labels and then cut the tabs to fit the container.
Simple as that!
My categories include:
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Thinking of You
Happy Anniversary
Get Well
Sympathy
Holidays
Thank You
Miscellaneous
Why I love it:
1.) Separated by category
2.) Gives me a reason to stock up on cards to have whenever I
need them
3.) Easy to find what I need
So there you have it! Such a simple project that anyone can
do. Just run down to Target, grab a plastic tub and get started organizing
those cards. You know you want to.
Great tips! I organize mine in a similar way, now I want to tweak it, your system is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea. Currently mine are "organized" in the top to a paper box. :( I'm thinking I need to expand.
