Organizing Pen Pal Information

RE: Organizing Pen Pal Information By Maryeileen (698) Profile Contact Thanks, Cathy from Townsville, QLD, an expanding portafile sounds like a good idea. Is that QLD, as in Queensland (Australia)? I have a pen friend in NSW. Posted on 01/16/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organizing Pen Pal Information By Cathy from Townsville, QLD (Guest Post) How about one of those expanding portafiles? They're only a few dollars, and you can write your friend's name on the tab. Otherwise, there are horizontal stationery trays you can buy, but they're much more expensive (a series of plastic thin drawers).

You can put all the pertinent information on the front of the folder.

I guess my dilemma is how to keep the letters organized as some are in over sized envelopes (bigger than the standard #10 business size envelope that we use in the U.S.). Posted on 11/28/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organizing Pen Pal Information By KLS8800 (Guest Post) I agree with the envelope box, but I use a 3x5 box and 3x5 cards. On the front, I put the friend's name, address, phone number, Email. Since I have some that are business acquaintances, I use colour codes. Blue for church, red for business, yellow for family, green for friends, so I can tell at a glance what that card is for. On the back, I will put other info. Such as birthdays, kids' names and ages, spouse, etc. I use 3x5 cards because people move, marry, divorce, etc and the little address book can fill quickly with just one name. Just be sure that when you fill out your card, you put a little date code somewhere out of the way, but where you can see it, so you can update your info periodically. Just some ideas. If you are doing pen pals, use colours for different parts of the world, or for a common interest you may have, or how often you two correspond. Good luck.
