I wanted to make something different. I used old cardboard, some paper and felt.
Packing up before heading our separate ways, Kristen has a wad of poly bags ready for the Welsh rain.
The meat packing portion of the barn at the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk colony. Appears to be a scale on the wall.
We went to the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony at Gold Hill in El Dorado County today. It's a failed Japanese colony from 1869 or so that tried to grow tea and silkworms. They didn't count on a harsh drought (not as bad as the one now, but bad enough), funding being cut off, and miners diverting their irrigation water for their own nefarious purposes. The colony lasted two years and then the members (they started with 22 people) dispersed. One 19 year-old lady, Okei, died of a fever, probably malaria, and is buried on this site.

So this is my new thing. Packing. We are under contract to buy a house two towns away. Our house is going on the market later the week.
Neatness counts. If you plan to drive the Alaska Highway, you go prepared. Two spare tires, gas can, floor jack, and tools. lots of tools. I also took some camping gear - just in case. The rug says MATT, and an aunt had made it for me when I was just a kid.
NottLaha was so excited as she started packing all the stuff she needed to take to school. She was gathering stuff for hours packing and repacking as she was getting more overwhelmed by having to decide what to take, what she could take, what she needed to take. "Mom where are my socks? Grampa have you seen my dress shoes? Ugh ugh ugh I can't find anything." Her mother and Grampa came to her aid and helped her find everything she needed but still she was freaking out because she was sure she was going to forget something. "Mom, what if I forget something important?" "Don't worry dear, if you do, we will send it to you" Nott thought that her mom was so calm because she was not the one going when she remembered that her mom had gone to Hogwarts too and she must know how it feels. " Mom is just that when you went you knew everything about magic but... I barely know anything" Her Grampa sat near her and wrapping her with his arm he softly said to her "My Nott, don't you worry about a thing. You will be fine. There are always other kids that don't know anything about magic. You will catch up soon enough."
Tenuous Link: prepared for travel?
Will travel to celebrate.
BTW: I'm not moving house: the boxes in the background are part of ongoing events in my "workshop" room, i.e. looking through old toys for Counting photos etc.
Materials were packed with care into cardboard boxes. The recovery team followed strict guidelines to prevent further damage to materials due to improper packing.
Planning is always the most important part of every move. So planning has become a specialty for Unified Moving Services. From supplying the correct packing materials and labor through loading, safe driving and unpacking, we make sure every possibility is anticipated and every need is met.

28 Aug 06. I leave tomorrow for my move to England. Moving is a very nerve racking experience, moving to another country is just frightening.
The packed product is prevented from oxidation, rusting, moulding, dampness and insect infestation and thus helps prolong the product storage period. It is can also be used to detect integrity of the peck seal.
this marks the first of many entries to come. the trip starts with packing up all my gear.

The image above shows the box with a "nest" to hold my inner shipping box. It's pretty firmly in place, but next time I will add some round cardboard buttons and heavy thread thru the layers of bubble wrap to anchor the layers so they don't move around. I may also add a layer of black flannel as Harriete suggests, to disguise the bubble wrap. I am also considering other options for the layers of bubblewrap. I tried starofoam, cut to shape, but it was too messy and I hate foam. I would love to hear about other options.
Harriete Berman has two blog posts, here and here, about packing art for shipping. I really like most of her suggestions, but she uses upholstery foam, which harbors mold. I am allergic and have had terrible reactions to foam, so it doesn't come into my house. I'm experimenting with using bubble wrap, arranging it in a "nest" so that there is no tape and the box and object don't have to be wrapped around and around to send it back. Some things have come back to be barely wrapped. Recently I sent two artist's books to a publisher, each in an inner box, inside a larger box. They were returned in their inner boxes. I don't know what happened to the outer box. It was very upsetting because one of the books was barely covered, much less protected from scratching. Luckily both books were okay.
