Packing Tip No.1

Top packing tip, courtesy of my Pa -
- don't worry about packing your book into boxes (nothing more upsetting than a box bottoming out and depositing the contents on a pavement in the middle of a move) - instead, tie them up into beautiful little parcels with string, just like this:


Easy to carry, easy to fit into small spaces in the car/van and most important - don't they look adorable?

  3. Did you do this with all your books? I have thousand of books, literally. How long would it take to bundle them all?
    Great idea, BTW.

  5. @JPP - Fortunately I have some slightly more indestuctable plastic crates, so a lot are already packed. The stragglers are in string though!

  6. very cute idea. we usually pack our books in boxes and boxes (we have way too many) and then i strain my back carrying the too heavy boxes (every time).

  8. Ooh this is genius! I wish I had found your blog 2 weeks ago - thats when I packed all my books into boxes. I do have some I haven't packed yet though, so I'll use this idea for those. Thanks to your Pa!
