i am keeping all my forum family cards right here next to the computer so i can always enjoy them, the others (and the tree) is upstairs and i just don't seem to go up there much!
I need to come up with a "system" for keeping my cards. I can't find my GH cards nor their addresses from last year---I guess they area all together, somewhere, huh?/
so this year I need to come up with a better system---anyone got any suggestions??/

Junie, I keep all my addresses on index cards in a box meant for coupons or what not- in alphabetical order - I do family in one box- business in another and online friends and family in another- all different colors so I know which is which... I don't always update them as often as I should but do at least once a yr or when I know someone has moved or changed numbers- or email addys... or adds a family member- try to put birthdays on the cards too.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
I keep all my address in Word on the computer also. If I trade with someone I put down what they sent and dates. Especially if it is a plant so when it blooms I can post where/who it came from.
My addresses are in a green notebook. I should transfer them all into the computer but, the computer is so old I'm afraid it'll die and I'll loose everything.
TK that is my problem--my Computer is not so old--but age has nothing to do with it. It would be possible to lose things on any computer, right?/ so while my addresses are on the computr, are NOT there exclusively.
I still like Jiffy's idea of putting a persons address on the back of their card.................

Your welcome bestofour. Your right Junegirl that is a fantastic idea. If I can remember it for next year I'll definitely do it. Then all I have to do is remember to find the card if they move and cover over the address so I know not to use it.
TK, I had a computer crash last year. Feeling very competent, I thought "No Problem" I backed everything up on CDs. I could not find the CDs. Now I have back up CDs, I printed a address book in triplicate.
Now lets see if I can find a copy when I need it. I am going to concur this lost info one way or another.
Thanks Shirls for your nice card,sorry it took so long to thank you,but I've been up a ladder painting all day. We are trying to get our living room finished before Christmas. Life has been pretty hecctic since I got back from England. Hope you are keeping well, and I'll be back on here more after the holidays. Love Faye.
Thank you Cindy and Bill for your lovely card, did you make them yourself, It is so cute, I love it. Take care off yourselfs, I hope you are both keepng well. Love Faye.

I sent my second bunch of Cards yesterday so everyone should have my cards before the end of the week. I sent Christmas letters with my cards for your enjoyment. LOL!!
Now I have to work on sending out my presents. Work keeps getting in the way of my fun.

I have ALWAYS thought that a place of employement should just send a person a complete check irregardless as to if they show up at work or not !!!
I got a card & letter from Cinta in today's mail---It was very nice "getting to know you", Cinta. It made me wish I had of thought to do that,.
Thanks--
Yes what is wrong with those stupid employers. They want people to work for their stupid paycheck.
I would have like to handwrite everyone a letter we just have gotten away from the personal handwritten messages. But my hands just cannot do it. Another work problem they have taken my hand functions, my back has gone to the grave and they are working on my mind.
you are right about the handwritten messages, Cinta.
know what the firt thing I thought of was ?? -- We could handwrite ONE message & copy the rest off of that---(& Just how is that any different you might wonder--well I do not know---) besides,----I am not responsible for what my mind thinks, --am I????
But, again, the note was very nice. I enjoyed it.
