How to Pack for a Craft Retreat

We are going to pack for a scrapbook retreat! A five day getaway – I am so excited!

I have so much to pack, let’s start with the armoire. I have my little border maker punches in the armoire at the bottom. I won’t pack all of them but I can fit a lot in the border maker organizer – everything fits perfectly. I’m packing my border punches as well. I am not packing all my supplies, just enough for 5 days plus my store – I’m the dealer so I will pack more than most for a retreat.

I decided to work on my Italy album since it’s fresh in my mind and I’ll have some great pictures to work from. So I am packing punches that I can use for that album and some punches that I think others will want to use.

I can fit 3 tools organizers into the new rolling cart! Just let me know if you want one or two or five because they are advisor only. Sure makes carrying all those heavy punches a breeze. I have the big bin for packing some of my collections, cricut mats, and tape runner.

Now for cardstock. I store it vertically in the armoire so I can see all of it and I like to pack it in a file bin so it is easily accessible for me and my friends. I’m packing my letter stickers in an organizer so it’s ready to go when I get there. I pack my stickers and embellishments in an organizer as well. I put my tape runner in a narrow wooden tray and use that as a display…
