I feel like I’m always moving. That could be because I’ve changed residences every year for the past 8 years. Things would probably be easier for me if I just decided to live out of boxes and make furniture out of cardboard. With more people than ever moving frequently due to changing jobs, lifestyles or significant others, the best way to keep track of people you know is through e-mail. Even with everything being electronic these days, it’s nice to have a record of friends’ home addresses for sending cards or gifts. I like the idea of sending physical notes rather than cyber ones to let people know your address has changed. Check out the clever version I saw at The Container Store.

Next time you move, make your postcards from used packing materials once you’ve arrived at your destination. Just make a more elegant font choice than the juvenile one seen here. A smart idea deserves a smart execution.
