System maintenance  — 1 month ago

Worth doing!

Reviewing the calendar and writing out cards once or twice a month has been a good system for me :)

not that important  — 6 months ago

Well, here it is the beginning of November and I haven’t sent a single birthday card year. It’s just not that important to me after all, and not important to the people I care about whether they get cards from me or not.

Very soon.  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

I’ll consider this done very soon, I think. I’ve sent a plethora of birthday cards and e-cards since I put this on here, organized my birthday calendar and have been consistent getting cards out. Besides, how many more card photographs could I possibly take?

I’ve also learned to pay close attention when recording dates and names. I sent the wrong Trish a birthday card last week and the wrong Catoldo an e-card before that. Duh. Well, it’s a lesson learned :)

February 4th  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

February 4th is my brother’s birthday. This is probably the most important, or more meaningful birthday card I’ll send this year, as I’ve not spoken to my brother in a couple years, and not seen him in several.

I feel really good about sending this card today :)

E-cards  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

I decided to add e-cards for the people with whom I have less personal relationships. I sent a couple last week and another today.

Two more!  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

Timmy and Titus shared a birthday. Although one turned 31 and the other 2, they both got stickers on the cards I sent last week :)

I also sent two e-cards to work acquaintances.

This is fun! :D

I did it!  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

And, if this isn’t reason enough to do it… I don’t know what is :)

Kaela,
Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers, and that card. That card caused me to well up. It really touched my heart, more then you know. I’m so happy I lived to see my 50th birthday, and I’m even happier that I go to see all the people I love so very much. You know I’m always here for you.

I love you,
Momma S…....xxxooo

This is why I want to sent birthday cards: because it is so much more than the birthday acknowledgment. It’s about letting those around us know that we love them, and depend on them being a part of our lives.

Happy birthday, S.! :)

Combine card giving with charity  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

I love sending cards on birthdays and anniversaries and any life altering events to family and friends. I used to buy them from Hallmark (it helps to become a member) before but in recent years I have bought cards from organizations like CRY, UNICEF and Children’s Art Project which helps me help others, specially children.

Chances are  — 1 year ago

Chances are, if you know me, you will be getting a birthday card this year.

Chances also are, that it will be a Fresh Ink card :)

Today...  — 1 year ago

Worth doing!

I bought 15 cards. 12 for upcoming birthdays, and three extras for the ones that always seem to pop up :) This should hold me through May.

I did get all my contacts updated via Plaxo, but realized that birthdays are not entered into my Outlook calendar. Bummer. I will have to go through each one and copy and paste the birthdays.

When I bought the cards, I also signed up for Hallmark’s buyer club, which will save me some cash over the year. Sweet!
