Colored stickers help mother pack
Her idea colored stickers! When we walked into her house, nearly every item had a sticker. She placed a color key by the door: red move; green sell; orange gift; and yellow think about it.
As we began helping, it saved a lot of questions. Mother still had to go through everything personally, but then any of us was able to pack items for their proper destination.
Ann Higgins, Florence, Ala.Give your mother a Heloise Hug for being so organized. Heloise

Dear Heloise: When traveling recently, we stayed on the second floor of a hotel with a great view that we hated to block by closing the drapes.
Dear Heloise: I was reading your column about joggers carrying identification and thought I would share my solution.
I went to a store that has a machine for making dog tags and made a tag with my name, address and phone number. I then used a chain to hang it around my neck. Identification without having to have a pocket.

Doris, our military members call them "dog tags" for a reason. Woof! Woof! Heloise
Dear Heloise: When I purchase cosmetics, many times I receive a gift that includes a cosmetic bag. I fill these bags with things young women would like lipstick, nail polish, hair accessories, perfume samples, etc.
I donate these bags to a local charity for distribution to young women during the holiday season. You could also make up grooming kits for young men. D.L., via e-mail
