I have a rolling cart like this one:

I usually work on Cards, So I throw in my stamps, Inks, (one full size & small inks) Acrylic blocks that I'll need. Spellbinder dies in their notebooks. Cardstock in a plastic envelope w/flap.
6x6 paper packs. and other goodies.
So this way I'm not taking the whole house with me each time I go.
