The coolest organized box we have received so far

When you are a not-for-profit organization, the federal government has lots of rules, more rules than you can even imagine. Some of us aren't really good with those rules, but we are struggling to do our best with them.

One of the rules we are just absolutely loving these days, (NOT) is an inventory rule. Every piece of absolutely everything has to be inventoried before we can ship it out. That means every single card, envelope or protective envelope. We are talking THOUSANDS of pieces. Every single week, month, you get the idea . . .

So, I said one day not to long ago,"Hmmm, maybe we should ask our card makers to please count their cards before they put them in their boxes to ship to us and that could really help us out here". Sounded like a great idea and a ton of relief for the office volunteers.

Well, let me tell you exactly how great our volunteers really are. Or rather let me show you . . .  

 

This incredible box came from California from a wonderful, very meticulous card maker by the name of Bernadette C, who not only counted them but separated them by category ! ! ! ! The office volunteers almost fainted when they opened this box. She also included a wonderful letter telling us how she found us through her Stampin' Up!® demonstrator Sam Slimak (Thanks Sam !)and how grateful she is to be able to donate her cards.

Uh, Bernadette you have got that a little backwards. We are the ones that are so very grateful for your talent and generosity but more importantly your organizational skills ! Thank you so much and can't wait for that next perfectly organized box.

I am not the least surprised that Bernadette would separate AND count the cards she sent you! She's a gem, and I'm so glad she's one of my customers
