I love getting fun mail! You know the kind of mail that’s not a bill or advertisement…that actually has a personal, handwritten signature at the bottom of it!

I also love sending “fun mail”! I have a card organization system that makes it a tad easier to get ahead of birthdays instead of behind. (I have 13 nieces and nephew…birthdays are always popping up!) I keep a stash of cards to make the fun mail making’ moments easier!

I bought twelve fun printed file folders at Target for $4.99.  I organize my cards alphabetically.  The Type A’s reading might ask, “How do you categorize?”

I’m glad you asked!

  • Anniversary
  • Baby
  • Birthday
  • Blank note cards
  • Care
  • Congrats
  • EIH
  • Envelops (all my mismatched blank envelopes)
  • Get Well
  • Stickers
  • Sympathy
  • Thanks

Fun mail means so much to me that I keep special ones in a blue box, that I read over when I need a pick-me-up!

Are you a card keeper or do you read and throw away?

    I take after my Mom (so do you) she kept two shoe boxes full of cards. Each box divided into spaces for birthday, anniversary, and so on. I also love getting “real” mail. Time to write my Va. pen pal. Grin

    Love it! I am a total card keeper, I have EVERY card my husband and I have ever given each other. Then I started saving for the whole family. I got 4 good sized plastic containers, labeled them with mine, hubby’s and both kids names and every time we get a special note I throw it in the bins. Hoping the kids will enjoy reading those later in life. I know I enjoy having them all now.
