This is going to sound a little crazy, but I'm writing it at 4:15 a.m. so nothing seems all that crazy. Right now it sounds like a pretty good idea, and I'm excited to have it all nice and organized....my mailing list that is. Yes, my Christmas card and birth announcement mailing list is all typed out on Excel, and I put in columns to the right of everyone's name/address with a checkbox for the Christmas card, one for the birth announcement and one for the thank you note (for any holiday or baby gifts that might come). I know some of you are thinking "yikes--too much time on her hands". It is more like "insomnia", and the side affects. But honestly every year with Christmas and thank you cards I *think* I'm going to remember who I've sent things too and sometimes I'll even jot them down on a scrap of paper but it is always confusing and there is always a moment when I think, "did I send that??" Anyway, I think it is a fairly decent organizational tool, and I'm pleased with my simple and free Excel handiwork so I thought I would pass it on :-)! Signed, ME {lv}
