Packing Do's and Dont's
 |
| The Mischievite is ready to go. (18 months) |
1. I made these for a reason... please take advantage of them---(location is where you want the box to go when we unpack, if you are unsure, please just put what room you packed it with).
2. Don't mix and match. Stick to a room. Pack that room then move on. Please don't go searching for other things to fill the box unless it specifically applies to the box at hand. i.e. If you know that Vicbowin has books in the main room, that ought to be in her room, you can go get them.
3. Please fold all the clothes and linens before you put them in a box.
4. Towels are acceptable forms of padding, and the only thing rule #2 doesn't apply to.
5. Don't pack framed artwork unless you can ensure safe passage in the box. The best way to move them is to cut out a piece of cardboard that fits the front and strap it down.
6. If you go to the layaway section at Wal-Mart early in the morning they usually have boxes.
7. Please, oh please, don't pack any junk. That jar full of screws can be given to someone. Extra paint can be handed off.
. Here is my list of things that you WILL be giving away.
Bunk Beds- already called for by S.T.
Coffee table and side tables- already called for by E.S.
Big chunky chair that's downstairs- If M.U. doesn't want it, then M.C. does... if not her then E.S.
Love at Home wall hanging- it's called for, but I can't remember by who.

The dresser I refinished that used to belong to my mom.
