1. Look through your calendar and make a list of friends, family and co-workers whose birthdays are in November. If any of your birthday pals live far away, you might want to make a note of when to mail the card, so it gets there on time. Thanksgiving is on November 24th, if you want to send out Gratitude Cards and thank people for the wonderful things they've brought to your life.
2. Collect your photos. I printed mine with Kodak Photo Gallery. With the last batch, I accidentally chose the "metallic" printing option, and they came out super cool.
3. Gather your cards and pens. I've really been into using black Strathmore Photo Mount Greeting Cards with Silver Sharpies and Sparkly Gelly Roll pens.
4. Buy stamps. One of the biggest obstacles to my sending a handmade card each day has been not having all the supplies I needed. I highly recommend your pulling together all of your supplies early in the month. Because I didn't plan ahead in October, I ended up with a lot of those ugly, and more expensive, stamps from the ATM, when I could have gotten pretty LOVE stamps.
5. Add photos to your cards. Place an adhesive square (they come with the Strathmore cards) in each of the photo's corners. Press the photo firmly to the front of your card.
6. Write and address your note in sparkly pen, add a stamp, and drop it in the mail box. Fun!
