<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tips to Save You Time, Space and Money<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">by CC Isole</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Each year, the holidays are a bustle of activity! As much as we look forward to and adore the season, we despise the part that requires us to pack up all the trim and decorations when the season comes to an end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">While it may be tempting to just throw everything into boxes and worry about sorting it out next year, you’ll find regret when one or more of those precious decorations or heirloom ornaments is lost or broken. Everyone who saves their Christmas ornaments from year to year knows that these pretty ornaments are more than just holiday decorations. Most of them are special keepsakes with treasured memories. Some will be kept in the family and passed down from family member to family member for years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As the New Year rolls in and the time to take down holiday ornaments and other Christmas trimmings arrives, shoppers should take advantage of the after-Christmas sales to stock up on the items for their Christmas ornaments and decoration storage needs. It’s also the perfect time to re-stock ribbons and wrapping papers, or replace worn strings of lights or garland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Following the tips below will help you <u>save time</u> by getting your decorations organized, so they are easy to find next year. They will also help you <u>save space</u> by using the right kind of boxes that can be easily organized and stacked. And lastly, these tips will help you <u>save money</u> by managing your decorations in a fashion that will preserve their quality and extend their life span.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Use Clear Plastic Storage Containers</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">These are excellent because you can see the contents without the tedious task of labeling each box. You’ll also find that the plastic does a better job than cardboard in protecting the contents from moisture. And remember, when stacking these clear boxes, begin with the heaviest on the bottom and work your way up to the lightest on top.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Separate Strand Beads and Small Garlands<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you decorate with strands of beads or small garland, you can pack them easily in small plastic shoeboxes. Again, use clear plastic for easy visibility of the contents. To keep the beads from becoming tangled, place individual strands in zip lock baggies, or old socks. You’ll also find that empty paper towel rolls are perfect to wrap strands of beads and garland around. Simply secure at both ends with a rubber band.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Don’t Stack Too Many Lights in the Same Box</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The box will become too heavy and the lights on the bottom could be damaged. Lights can easily become tangled, so individual strands of lights should be bagged separately or wrapped around paper towel rolls or something similar, and placed in plastic grocery bags or large freezer bags. Make sure to dispose of any lights that have been damaged or are not working properly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Save Space with Re-Shapeable Decorations<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bows made of wired ribbon can be flattened and reshaped next year. Wired ribbon garlands and streamers can be tightly rolled. They don’t need to be flattened unless you need to conserve space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Don’t Crush Your Wreaths<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Wreaths can be stacked in larger boxes but each wreath should be wrapped with bubble wrap. If they aren’t wrapped then they shouldn’t be stacked. Bubble wrap can be purchased where office supplies are sold or from your local self-storage provider. Wreath boxes can also be purchased.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Wrap Christmas Ornaments Properly<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ornaments should be wrapped individually in white tissue paper, or in bubble wrap, if greater protection is needed. Since most ornaments are lightweight they can be stored in large boxes. If you still have the original boxes the ornaments came in, then store them in these and then place them in the storage container. Old egg cartons make great storage for smaller ornaments.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Protect Christmas Decorations from Moisture<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If your climate is humid, using plastic containers may not be enough to protect from moisture. Place packets of silica gel in each container to avoid damage from humidity. Silica gel can be purchased at any arts and craft store. If you cannot find individual packets, you can make your own by wrapping several tablespoons of silica gel in white tissue paper and securing with tape. Several packets should be placed throughout the box. A simpler solution? Store your décor in a climate-controlled storage unit.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Guard Against Temperature Extremes<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Delicate decorations such as ornaments made with photos or wax can be temperature sensitive. Store them in a climate-controlled area or they could deteriorate, melt or stick together. Same goes for your holiday candles, or those left over candy canes you are saving to hang on the tree next year. Try wrapping the candles in old socks or knee-high stockings to prevent scratching.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> <b>Avoid Misplacing Decorations Boxes</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Attach a red ribbon or tag to each Christmas storage box. This will make them easy to identify next Christmas if they have been stored with other boxes unrelated to Christmas decorations. Another idea is to color key the lids or bases of the storage containers you use for your holiday decorations. This will allow you to easily ID them next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Toss the Trash!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Some people have a tendency to hang onto things in hopes that they’ll find a use for it later. Don’t waste space by holding onto old ornaments or decorations that you are sure you’ll never use again, unless there is some sentimental significance to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your Holiday Linens, Towels, and Rugs<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Most of us have a collection of holiday linens, tablecloths, dish towels, bath towels, or small rugs. An easy storage solution is an old suitcase. Before packing away, be sure to launder. If you are so inclined, a couple scented dryer sheets will keep things smelling fresh until next season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A Few Final Pointers…<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Before you take down your holiday decorations to begin packing them away for storage, take pictures to remember the way you have your decorations set up. Then, take everything down in reverse order of the way it was put up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Save yourself time next year by thoroughly labeling your Christmas decorations. Number the boxes so that you'll know how many you have (i.e. Box 1 of 12). Labeling the boxes this way, also lets you order them according to how they should be unpacked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>Be sure to prominently label the first box to be opened at Christmas</b>. As an example, Box #1 might contain your advent calendar, tree stand, Christmas cards, or whatever you need to begin your holiday decorating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">By creatively organizing your holiday decorations today, you can provide a stress-free and enjoyable start to next year’s decorating season! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">“When should I consider using climate controlled storage?”</span></b></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choosing a climate controlled storage unit over a standard storage unit can be a difficult decision and often times comes down to simple personal preferences. It really is about the level of risk you are willing to take. Some people believe that maintaining an even temperature is the only sure way to protect their valuables. Others are more apt to look at their geographic climate and how long they intend to store their belongings in assessing that risk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Knowing what kind of weather to expect, how long you intend to use storage, and the types of items you plan to store, will help you decide if climate controlled storage is a necessary extra expense for your storage needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A good litmus test is to consider whether you would be willing to store your goods year round in an unregulated garage environment. If not, then you most likely want to consider using a climate controlled storage unit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>“How does climate controlled storage work?”</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simply put, the storage unit has a regulated temperature year round to avoid dramatic swings in heat or cold that could affect the goods you are storing. In addition to regulating the temperature, the more typical climate controlled unit today also manages the humidity. An overabundance of humidity (moisture) can promote the growth of mold and mildew or cause warping in an unregulated environment. Conversely, a lack of humidity (dryness) can also affect items negatively by causing splitting, cracking or peeling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Climate controlled storage can prevent damage to fine furniture, fabrics, sensitive electronics, artwork and many other valuables. Scorching hot summers and bitter cold winters can leave their evidence on even the sturdiest of items. As I mentioned earlier, you must assess the level of risk you are willing to take based on what you will be storing, the climate you will be storing in, and the length of time your goods will be in storage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember, facilities that offer climate control do charge a premium for this type of unit; however, it can be well worth the additional cost, depending on the nature of the goods you intend to store. Discuss your needs with the Facility Manager prior to your rental. They are storage specialists who can offer expert advice and will be able to answer specific questions to assist you in your decision making process.</span><br />

That means it's time to do a wrap up on the 2012 American Classic Potato Project for this year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those just joining us, our Potato Chronicles began in </span><a href="http://americanclassicstorage.blogspot.com/2012/04/potato-project-of-2012.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">April</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, with an update </span><a href="http://americanclassicstorage.blogspot.com/2012/04/potato-chronicles-ii.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and another one </span><a href="http://americanclassicstorage.blogspot.com/2012/06/potato-chronicles-iii.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All caught up? Okay, let's continue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weekend was harvest weekend. That means lugging out the blue plastic tarps and carefully tipping over the growing barrels (aka: trash cans). Here's a peek at some of our harvest:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had red potatoes...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...and we had white potatoes....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Final tally of our harvest was over twenty pounds! We're storing them in a cotton sack, in the cool recesses under our stairway. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of our objectives for this project was to be able to grow these potatoes to use in our </span><a href="http://americanclassicstorage.blogspot.com/2012/11/its-november-soups-on.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soups On Saturday</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> program that runs from November through February. We enjoy giving back to our customers, and this seemed like a fun way to do so!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm excited to say that tomorrow, <span style="color: red;"><strong>November 10th we'll be serving us some very special Potato Soup! </strong></span>The fact that it's homemade has an extra special meaning! Stop in and enjoy a cup, won't you? We'll be serving from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, or until the pot runs dry!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to everyone who asked about and supported our project this year!</span></div>

Your first step should be to consult your homeowners or renters insurance agent to see if the items you plan on storing are covered by your current policy. It may be you are fully covered for items stored away from your residence, or<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>additional coverage may be available to you. Be sure to ask your insurance agent about any policy exclusions, deductible amounts, and coverage limits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>While you may be covered through your existing policy, you may find that the insurance available at American Classic Storage provides more specialized coverage with a lower deductible. If you do provide your own insurance coverage, be aware that we will ask for proof of coverage during the rental process.</span></div>

Blustery winds, scattered rain showers, and much cooler temperatures will fast forward our still green treescapes into a burst of reds, oranges, golds, and yellows. Driving back from Philadelphia yesterday, every roadside stand on the eastern shore had their displays filled with pumpkins and every gourd imaginable. Stacked hay bales and gathered cornstalks screamed that Halloween is just weeks away.<br />
<br />
With a high of 57 degrees as today's forecast, I'm taking off the chill by baking bread. Simple ingredients and no preservatives make home baked bread a must have in our home. From October through April, we bake bread almost every day. Some we eat, some we share. In the summer? Not so much. Setting the oven at 450 degrees competes with the air conditioning, and that's counter productive, don't you agree?<br />
<br />
As my bread rises, I thought it just wouldn't be right not to share my bread making tutorial with you. (Click on the picture below to open this tutorial as a large slideshow).<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many have had to face
the major decision of downsizing from a larger home to a smaller apartment, moving
into a retirement community, or perhaps an assisted living facility. It is very
difficult decision for everyone in the family. What do you do with all the
personal items from the larger home that will not fit in the new residence? Typically,
the heirlooms and special items that are important to your family member will
be kept in the family, for future generations to cherish and enjoy. Self-storage
is an option to house these items in a safe and secure way until arrangements
on their disposition is decided. It is important to remember to choose the best
self-storage facility to meet your needs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you will be storing photos, family
heirlooms, antique furniture or sensitive electronics, you should consider a
climate-controlled storage unit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
units have a constant temperature and humidity level year-round that will
protect items during storage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When it comes time for
you to help someone–such as a parent or grandparent–move, you need to be aware
that he or she will need special attention to make the transition. Many older
adults don’t have the mobility that younger people do, nor are they always as
tolerant of change. Some may also have health conditions that need careful
monitoring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Be sure that the person
you are assisting has visited their new residence at least once before the
actual move takes place. This will help them get acclimated to their new
environment and surroundings, and any new faces that may be associated with it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What can also be
beneficial is to make the new environment look as much as possible like the old
one. Surroundings that appear familiar can alleviate some of an older adults
anxieties about moving to a different location. Digital photos that show how
the old home was decorated can give you a visual reference that allows you to
arrange any furniture, books and pictures in ways that will put them more at
ease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

any other household items work. Be sure they know how to easily contact you or
a designated community manager in the event of an emergency. You might also
check to see if they need assistance getting cable, Internet or telephone
services put in place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If relocation is
to a retirement community or assisted living facility, be sure to arrange an
orientation meeting with the appropriate staff for the person you are
assisting, as well as yourself and/or other primary family members.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

might be best if the person you are helping is not around for the actual move.
If he or she is going to a retirement community, such facilities often have
guest rooms that can accommodate new arrivals for several days. If this is the
case, check to see that the senior has the medications he or she needs along
with appropriate clothing and toiletries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
