I have not sent out Halloween cards in a while, or any cards for that matter, so I thought it was due time. These are the Hallmark Halloween cards we are using this year, along with Batman stamps. Do you send out Halloween cards?

Organizing Cards You Receive
My husband has saved cards I have given him throughout the years. Vice versa. When he started working offshore several years ago I would send him or give him a letter before every hitch. I decided to compile all the letters throughout the years into a binder. I wanted to be able to see the front and back of the cards and envelopes.
Here is a how to and it is super simple. This is just what works for me.
Supplies:
- Transparency Film Sheets
- Sheet Protectors
- Binder
- Bakers Twine
- Scissors
- Tape
- Cut a small piece of twine to go between the crease of the card.
- Tape each side of the twine on the transparency sheet.
- To add the envelope I put a small piece of tape on the top of the envelope.
- Slide the transparency sheet into the sheet protector and add to binder.
- Enjoy your binder of cards.

Card Organization
I know I posted about organizing greeting cards in 2013, but I decided to change it up once again. Before I was using rings to keep all cards I receive all together, like birthdays, thank you notes, etc. I decided that I wanted to really see them without having to flip through rings. I really don' t go back to them often, but them being in rings seemed to be a hassle.
So here is what you need:
- Small file boxes (I got at the Container Store)
- Paper cutter or scissors
- Card Stock
- Label Maker
- Cards
- Cut however many strips of card stock. For the box I used I cut 6.5" strips and cute about 1" off the bottom to fit the box.
- I labeled the card stock strips.
- Put inside the file box.
- File the cards under the correct tabs.

Halloween Cards
Anyone who knows me knows I love sending mail. I know it is not the most eco thing, but like I have said before paper is my vice. I love getting mail and sending it. Who doesn't love getting mail.
This year I got cards from Hallmark (they were available and inexpensive). If my local stationery store had the Rifle Paper Co. Halloween cards in stock, I would have gotten them probably because I love their cards plus they are printed in the USA. I got some washi tape to use as a seal since I usually use a seal on all my letters. I used stamps I already had. I hope my family and friends enjoy them.

Organizing Greeting Cards
Organizing greeting cards is a hard thing to do and I searched Pinterest up and down trying to figure out the best way to organize / display them because there are some that I really wanted to keep. One way that was suggested, that I tried, was to get metal rings and punch a hole in two areas of the card and put rings in the two holes punched. See below.
I really didn't want to do that with some because I was thinking in the future I may want to display some in frames, etc. So I came up a way that I know is tedious, but essentially how I wanted to display them. I purchased clear projector sheets 100 sheets for $21 at OfficeMax (in case there was something on the back of the card / envelope I wanted displayed), a binder from Target that I really liked, sheet protectors I already had (but that can be purchased at OfficeMax), bakers twine, scissors and tape. I decided to work on cards that I had given my husband throughout the years of dating and marriage that he had been keeping in a file folder. I also did the cards we got from our wedding too.
There may be a more effective way that I just didn't think of too, but this way worked for me. I know this isn't a very environmentally friendly thing to do as it's so much plastic. The binder is the Greenroom eco line at Target. I am eco in many many other ways. I can't always be perfect in that aspect, but do the best I can.

- Cut strips of bakers twine and tape
- Arrange the cards on the projector paper
- Put the string down the middle of the card and tape down
- Put into sheet protector (optional)
- Put into a binder
