I got one of those cute Michaels storage bags for Christmas, the kind with all the pockets, it is open at the top. Mine is Pink and Chocolate. I just don't know exactly what to put into it, what do you all store there?
It is called the Scrap Paper Scissors Mini Organizer

I got one for Christmas too. I have it on top of my crafting table and it is holding all my must haves. My Prismas, Nesties, Adhesive, Paint brushes, a couple Hand held hole punches, etc.
I keep most of my Cuttlebug accessories in mine. Plates. Embossing folders--kinda standing up in the center section. Small embossing folders and dies in little plastic storage containers. A small pad of DCWV cardstock.
I have a friend who keeps hers packed and ready to go to our stamping group--pretty much a second set of stamping essentials--scissors, markers, essential stamp pad, cleaner, small paper cutter standing up . . .
I also know of people who bought one specifically to use as an in the car tote--nothing having to do with stamping. Coffee cup. Cell phone. Notebook . . .
I have 3 of them! 2 black and one like yours. I have my punches, scissors and cutting tools in one, and I'm still organzing the other two. So far my tape and other adhesives, sponges, brayer, stampin' scrub and cleaner,and stamp-a-ma-jig are in another. There's still tons of room to add more. My cuttlebug folder and dies will probably end up in one of the organizers.
My friends (4 of us) all went and bought ours together...we each got a different color. It is so much fun when we get together and they are all sitting on the table...lol We pack all our stuff to take to events away from home...all kinds of stuff fit in there. love them.

Interesting idea! Never thought of that one.

I just bought one too! I wish they had had a red or purple one. Since they didn't, I went with all black. I haven't really put anything in it yet. I plan on using it to take to shoebox swaps. I can put all my tools on the side and the cards in the big middle space. I also go on stamping dates where me and a couple other stamping friends just get together to stamp and work on projects we have. I guess I would use it for that too.

I got the chocolate and teal one for christmas from my SIL. I love those colours together!! I have mine on my scrapping table with basically everthing that I use everytime I sit down (tape, scissors, acrylic blocks, paperpiercer etc). It's great b/c I don't have to dig through drawers for stuff now and if i need more stamping space i can easily place it on the floor beside me. She bought it with the intention of me taking it to classes but I think it's much better served for me as a catch all on my desk.
I love it!

I have one that's packed with a lot of duplicate stuff, so I can grab it and go if I want to stamp somewhere else. Seems like I'm not getting as much use out of it as I could be, though, so I've been thinking of re-purposing it.
I thought of my car the first time I saw these, lol, and so went back the 2nd week with another coupon to get one! I drive a minivan, which has NOTHING up at the front to hold things other than the cupholders.
DH, who thought it was a total waste of money when it was just a "stamping thing," was totally impressed with it as a car organizer. It really does work great...cd's, kleenex, receipts, whatever. It's great!

I am with you, Strawberry. I cram just about all of my usual needs in there. Plus, I use the bottom tray to hold my small Coluzzle sets (what are those little things called, patterns?). I need to organize it a bit, but it has my cutting mat and paper cutter in the middle with all the other items around it. I just love how easily I can move it around to get more space or drag it with me someplace.
I saw a 2-pack very similar if not the same plus it also contained a smaller version at Costco. I couldn't decide if I needed one. I may need to go back.

organizer
I just got one for Christmas too. I got the black and purple one (purple being my fav colour) and I store my stamping stuff in it. and of course a chocolate treat for Crops that I go to (my son's idea) I went to a crop two weeks ago and when I was looking for something in the organizer I found this chocolate bar in there with a note from my 13 year old son saying "For you when you get hungry" I just about cried... so I made one of the girls take a picture of me the bag the note and the chocolate bar so that I could scrap it later....
