Organization on the Move!

Ok so your not moving out of your house, but how about when you move your scrapbooking to a crop or a scrapbooking day at a friends house. Ever get there to find out you don't have your photos? Been there done that! How about the glue or even that extra paper you wanted to bring. Crazy isn't it but life does throw a wrench into our preparation. By the time we get through giving instructions to the kid and telling our spouses what needs to be done, we have lost track of where we were in packing. So what is the solutions????
This happened way to much for me to just let it go, so I went to my computer and created a word document that was a check off list.
I put all the essential scrapbooking supples that I needed to have and then left room for some other special things I wanted to write in to remember to take.
So it looks sorta like this
Items I need:
Scissors
Cutter
Adhesive
Punches
Pictures
Cardstock
Paper
Ribbon
Eyelets
Pens
Magazines
ETC ETC ETC

So as you can see its all about the list. Mine is actually a lot longer than this, but you get the idea. Now for those special things that I need to take I have a section for that as well
Items I want to take:
1.__________
2.__________
3.__________

I keep this one on my computer and of course at the beginning I had to keep adding things, but now I have it quite complete and it works! While I am packing I mark them off but only after they are in the bag!
So this is just one of my ideas to keep myself organized and incidently I have a list for camping as well! So its not also a great idea for scrapbooking or crafts, but it works with other things
