Still, it was not easy to pack in just backpacks and my tote bag. I read some helpful posts online to get started:
The Art of Simple Travel
The Minimalists
Be More with Less
I did manage to squeeze in a few craft supplies to make a card for my cousin on the trip. (I may have strategically sent my mom a paper trimmer to help with this...) I packed precut card stock, 2 ink pads, a few stamps with an acrylic block, twine and a glue stick.
The real challenge will be only using carry-on luggage for winter travel. Challenge accepted! Do you have any packing tips to share?

Great card. And I will look into some of those sites - I feel like I am very ineffective at packing for trips.
I've become better at packing in an effort to avoid baggage fees. I mostly wear my Travex clothes from Eddie Bauer. They are bit spendy, but I wait for sale. They mostly mix and match and take up no room in my suitcase. Plus, they can be casual or professional (because my travel involves both). I know I still bring too much, so I'm looking forward to reading your links on minimalist travel.
I will have to check out the Eddie Bauer clothes. I will need a couple of good travel pieces for the winter.
