Does anyone know of a rolling tote bigger than the CROP-N-Style XXL? I have a CRAZY :scared1: friend that thinks she NEEDS a bigger one...she already has the XXL. Any recomendations besides medication! :lmao:

I don't think there is anything out there bigger then the XXL. Or at least none that I have seen.
Maybe she just needs some organizational help?

What is she doing with it? Where does she go? Weekend getaways, crops for the day?
She might just need to plan better for crops especially if they are day crops. I swear by preplanning even if I'm just gone for the day.
When we went to SDV last year, well every year, there are girls that bring their entire craft room!!! There is no way even in a weekend you could possibly use all of that stuff.

I have the Art bin one that is a double tote. joann's has it on line I NEVER saw it in person till it showed up. The nice part is the pieces come apart so a normal person can lift them then they slide and snap together for wheeling. The top one opens from the top and the bottom one from the front so you don't have to take it apart when your at a crop. I do because I use the bottom one for my stamps so I open it and then lay it down and then it's easy acess to which set I want.
I'm one of the crazys that takes the ENTIRE room with me, I'm working on that issue but usually mom or my BF will say oh did you bring and I'm like no wasn't planning on using it. So for me I guess the whole dang room will continue to follow me. I use that tote, a navagator and a rolling crate plus a duffle bag, embellie bag, punch box, tool tote and messenger bag. Sometimes Mom even has me drag the laptop and hp printer for a 8 am to midnight crop!!!1:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:
It's insane.......
I can crop with out it all I did a 6 hour crop and only had the navagator, embellie bag, punch box and tool tote and a 2" artbin plastic box.
Good luck to your friend it's a lot to move.

and I LOVE IT!!!!! I'm short but by no means little. (working on that) and I can move it no problem. If she can move the xxl she should be fine with this one. I don't use the loops in the top tote. and the fact that it comes apart makes it much easier to store. I have the sauder brand sewing table that I use to scrap on and it fits perfectly right behind the door that holds up the extension. I managed to hit a sale at J's online and had a free shipping code. So for under $95 it was worth it.

Some of the ladies that crop at my LSS use a product called the Fat Max, which is a toolbox on wheels that you can find at Home Depot and/or Lowe's.

I think they are insane, but it definitely holds a lot of stuff. It's insanely heavy when full though, and I would never be able to lift it in and out of the car.

Wow.....that's EXTREME! :worship: I'm not sure if I would be able to forgive myself if she was to hurt herself with that one. I think I'll just tell her, there was another idea....but, she may have to take up weighlifting before I send her the link! :rotfl2:
