Does this look like organized chaos to you? Well, it's a big accomplishment for me. During a weekend crop, I organized cards I had on hand. I filed them by month and by whom they will go to for birthdays and other occasions. Then I made a few cards to fill in holes where I didn't already have an appropriate card made...mostly masculine cards.In the front I have an index card with birthday dates listed by month. Then I used index cards to make dividers by months. And I put an individual sticky note on each card with the person's name and birthdate. There should be no excuse for not getting birthday cards out this year!
When I get another good chunk of time, I may write out all the envelopes so these are really ready to go out when it's time. :)
I put the cards in a clear shoebox from the dollar store. And on the right side I have more cards that I've made that can be plugged into the filing system. They only go into the file system when I can designate a person and date for one of my handmade cards.
How about you? Do you have a good system for getting your cards out on time to special people in your life?

My System? Let's see...... so and so's birthday just passed. I get ten minutes and make a quick card and then it sits for another week or two and I fill it out and then it sits for another week and then I mail it about a month late.... I really like your system!
That is so great that you have thought that far ahead. I don't think I've thought that far ahead for birthdays...they seem to pop up so quickly! I'm very impressed!

I have a system. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I need to be better. Yours looks like it would work perfectly. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday.
