A client of mine wanted some help organizing her blank greeting cards which got me thinking about my own greeting card collection. I knew (or thought) my cards were fairly organized, so I pulled out my box of cards.......... and then another box and yet another box and then an expandable folder. So maybe I wasn't quite as organized as I thought. It was time for a new system! I decided to make a greeting card filing system that would allow me to easily find a card by category. After going through all the cards, I realized that most of them were so old and out-of-date that I only had a couple of dozen that I would actually use. I sorted the remaining cards by categories and cut some kraft poster board to make dividers. I cut out "tabs" from the poster board, attached small chalk-board clothes pins and marked the card categories on them. A simpler version would be to use a label maker to mark the tabs or simply write the category names directly onto the tabs. Much better! I now have one neatly organized box of greeting cards with plenty of space to buy more!
