packing

I sealed 2 small boxes and one large one today. Decorative stuff and wall hangings, etc. If I do a little every day, it won't seem like so much work, right? Man, we have a lot of stuff. Fortunately there is always someone moving in or out of military neighborhoods, so boxes and packing materials are easy to come by. I was pretty amazed recently when we were at the local U-Haul place to see all the expensive packing accessories they sell (and I am assuming, people actually buy?) such as specially marked and color coded tape. Personally, I'm sticking (HA!) with the plain ol' brown stuff that the movers left behind when they packed my friend Ashlie. She collected enough extra rolls for us to do our entire move with. How's that for using the available resources to their fullest?! And I'll treat myself to one or two new Sharpies after I use up the various half-dead ones laying around the house.

GAH! I found this and I am pretty sure I'll need to find time to make one before the Official Packing begins. Which is in 2 weeks when my parents get here. Mom will be helping me pack while Dad occupies the kids and does other odd jobs (take down clothes line, fill holes in walls, etc.) Hmmmm maybe Mom & I both will need an apron for packing... so much sewing to do, so little time...
