oops yes that is Michaels! We're on personal terms with this store! LOL!
I don't know the brand name. But it is a fantatic little bag!

I've seen several people (at crops) use the Tool-turn-about from Pampered Chef.

Yeah, me and Mike are best buds too...

I saw a ton of these in the main isle in front of the scrapbook section. I have the totally cool one, smaller and square. I like mine, and my friend has the one from Mike's, and she likes hers better. It all depends on what you want to carry.

I use something similar to the PC Turnaround, but it's smaller. It came from Staples, and holds all my pens, scissors, tape, corner rounder, tweezers (for stickers), and blades. It cost about $10 and it's perfect!

I was in to Michael's today and did not see them. But I am going to print this out and take it with me next time. ;-)

(ok, I am a fan of stripes and plaid........love that lining!)

Hmmmm.. I guess my suggestions are to late..but I will second, third or is that fifth the turnabout tool from PC. I've used that for year now and it does works very well. The multiple compartments of diffrent hights and sizes makes it easy to store TONS of things. I keep anything from my sissors to glue sticks in mine (and of course EVERYTHING in between). I also have that handy tote bag froms Michaels...which is nice BUT I'm not like'n it as much as the turn about tool. Of course it is great for crops and on the go....but to have out all the time at home ....I guess I just like the ease of spinning the turnabout at home. I found with the bag it was to hard (for me) to decide where to put everything...and the pockets and places to stuff things were never the right size for the things I wanted to put there. It was easy to stick the sissors or pens in...but other things were more difficult (less than $20 + if you use the 40% off coupons..it ends up being just a little over $12 almost makes it worth just getting it to see how well it'll work for you) Oh...another thing I didn't like about the bag was the dividers on the inside are not connected to the bottom....making it very easy for the stuff inside to slide under and into the next compartment.

I went to Michael's today and found that in Light pink/brown, Teal/brown, and lime green /brown.

I think that's the only colors they come in. Anyone know?

The only other color our store had was black with a little piping.
Scrapper Jill I do agree about the dividers I wish they were fixed at the bottom. But so far I have the bigger stuff in there and it hasn't been a problem.
I will have to look at this PC thing. The thing that is nice about the bag is the handles if you are a cropper who goes to crops you just grab and go. But I would like something on my desk....ok I will admit it I am a bag junkie!

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

I have tried all different ways to stay organized and it just doesn't happen! LOL!
But then I found this little gem! It seems to be doing the trick! And best yet, I love to go to crops I just grab it and go. Orginally I swore by my tackle box but it was so big I couldn't sit it on the table so it was over on another table. I still love it but use it more for storage.
But this bag is great, and fairly cheap. Mike's sells them for $19.99 They come in 3 colors. The bag above is nice too but rather deep. Which is what I didn't like. I almost bought one till I saw this bag!

THIS ONE. I got this one today. And everyone is my house is gone tonight for 3 hours...........and I'm all alone and NOTHING to do........so I'm going to organize my new toy.....I am SO excited...........

Hi. I just got back form Target yesterday. I found a square shaped revolving organizer made by Jetmax. Only $19.99. A magnetic side, a drawer, the top tray comes out, a place to put a photo. I found it in the scrapbooking sections. Then for $24.00 each, there is many other pieces that puts together a desk and drawers and cubes.

Chiming in late...I tried the cute bag from Michaels, but it just didn't work for me, so I gave it to my mom. I wound up with the Tote-Ally cool tote and really like it so far. I use a Tonic guillotine trimmer and it's the only tote that it would fit in. I got the red/brown, but I just bought a pink set of Butterfly/Dragonfly totes, so I'm thinking I need to get a pink one now so I can be matchy-matchy. It doesn't take up much of a footprint and it holds a LOT.
