(Coming in under the wire with this one!) One thing I'm not very good at is keeping up with birthdays. I love to celebrate peoples' birthdays, however, I am not very good at getting cards in the mail in a timely fashion.
I have one calendar in my kitchen, that hangs on my fridge, that only has family and friends' birthdays on it. You would think that that would be enough to remind me to get cards ahead of time. Well, it isn't. That calendar was my attempt at becoming organized about birthdays. It hasn't worked.
Heaven forbid you should be on my card list and have a birthday or anniversary within the first few days of the month. I usually don't see those until I flip the calendar and then I'm already too late.
Ideally I should buy all of the cards I need for the month about two weeks before the month arrives, but, well, that never seems to happen.
We've tried making cards. This way I don't have to get out to the store. Still didn't work. I just don't think we're creative enough to make that idea last.
I'm always impressed by people who send cards to our house in a timely fashion. I'll have to ask them what their secret is.
Any ideas on how to make this more organized for me??? If so, please share, as I'd really love to be able to stay on top of this for more than one month.
God Bless!
