Hello everyone! I've been rather quiet on the forums these days. My graduate program and my teaching has been quite demanding so I've been mostly lurking! Nonetheless, I've been diligently working away at my first build. It's come a long way! Next week, I'll be leaving my home in Eugene, OR for an extended semi-vacation (I'll be working remotely) with my partner in sunny California. I'll be gone at least 5 weeks (and perhaps longer) since my new job doesn't entail any in-person office time at the university. So, long story short, I can't decided whether to go on mini hiatus or pack enough small supplies to work on kits and such. What do y'all do? Do you have a protocol for long travels? Do any of you seasonal travelers or snowbirds have tips for taking along smaller projects? Taking the whole house is, as you can imagine, not really an option. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I'm thinking about future travel on long trips, possibly in an RV, but I won't go without my miniature craft supplies and tools - which are already filling a small bookcase and overflowing onto the floor of my work area at home. I need to find or make a storage system that is (a) portable, (b) lightweight, © as compact as possible, and (d) with many compartments or drawers that can be labelled and accessed easily. It can't be too expensive, and a huge plus would be if it were made of anything but plastic (I may be asking the impossible there, I know). Any ideas?

From the album: My Travel Finds
Another Craigslist find. This one was in Lynchburg, VA and I picked it up for $40. The stairs and foundation were hot glued. I was able to fit the stairs in my suitcase, but spent a couple of hours that night in my hotel room with a clothes iron getting the foundation apart so I could get it in the box, tape it up and check it as luggage. Foundation before and after pics are shown. They had used stone textured paint around the bottom which made my little "heat and peel apart" project a little tougher.
