My Greeting Card Organizer

I have had an Etsy on-line shop for almost two years selling my handmade floral home decor called Angelsneverlastings. While it's a thrill to be able to list and sell your handmade items on the internet, another great thing about having a Etsy shop is that there are such interesting handmade items to discover and buy.  If you are looking for something unusual or unique head over to Etsy.com and search through the many talented artists and shop owners.  If you find something you like, you can contact the creative shop owner and ask for something made to order.  Usually they are happy to accommodate.

I recently wanted to find a greeting card organizer to be used at church.  I wanted to have everything organized on Sundays so it would be easy to send cards each Sunday to those in need.  I couldn't really find what I was looking for but Angel from Bamcraftymommas volunteered to create one for me.  Her specialty is scrapbooks, party banners, & chalkboard mats for kids.  This is what she came up with.


I told her exactly what I wanted which was a booklet type organizer with pages for encouragement, special events and get well.
As you can see the pages are decorated beautifully with decorative scrapbook paper.
  I chose scriptures that I wanted used on the pages and each page had a pocket to hold greeting cards.



I then needed to stock my organizer with cards so I purchased these beautiful cards on Etsy.



This beautiful photo card is from  Mysavior on Etsy.
