I admit it: I am terrible at remembering birthdays and other special events. No matter how much advance notice I have, somehow I am always taken completely by surprise at the last moment. But this year will be different! It’s already June, you say? No matter! I am going to solve this gift and card-giving issue of mine once and for all. I’ve decided that preparation is key. As in, having an assortment of cards, wrapping papers, ribbons and gift tags on hand for any occasion that comes my way. And a very fine place to start would be with Sarah Marie.

I was drawn in by the bold, graphic patterns, and then was delighted to learn that Sarah Marie’s wrapping papers and cards are tree-free and printed with soy-based ink. And, owner Sarah donates 5% of profits to Kiva.org, a micro-lending website that supports entrepreneurs around the world. How awesome is that?

I am really smitten with that blue and white wrapping paper because it reminds me of Mediterranean tile work. Hm, and those green leaf-print cards would make really cute party invites. Which ones do you like? And if you have any tips on keeping track of birthdays, please fill me in – I wasn’t joking! :)

You’re right, preparation is key! Last year it was my New Year’s Resolution to send out cards. And I did it! Whenever I went to the store I stopped in the card aisle and picked out ones for the next month’s birthday. It definitely helped. Unfortunately I am back to my old ways!
