AMM ones are absolutely gorgeous. If I was buying one I'd get one of those. AQ has one I think and loves it.

YG they do seem popular. Everyone at my crops seem to have them but just wondered if that was because they are new or because they are good!

people I have spoken to really like them.
I myself have a much bigger option.... a stanley workstation wheely trolley thing which holds tools, papers, stamps, loads more than the AMM but then its a lot bigger!
Also have just bought a sizzix tote... now that is fantastic!

YG I have a small sizzix tote bag that came with the machine which is good. Dont think can justify a big tote on wheels thing just yet [maybe soon though]. So was thinking this for my tools and box for papers for now.

LOL. I know- it's always to justify the postage for me... or to et above a certain limit to get free postage lol- far cheaper to just get what i wna tan dpay the postage but psychologically i can't do that.

Do you have a link to the karen Foster tote?

Think the AMM one is better to keep your tools in on your desk but maybe not very practical to take out and about although personally I think I'd go for the AMM one

desk desk...what desk...lol I am getting the AMM one as others seem to use it quite easily to take stuff to crops so will do me and save me lugging boxes instead..now I need something to carry papers and store them

I love my tote bag...its fab. You can fit so much into them, that the last crop I went to I didnt bother taking my Robox...managed well with my tote and scrapfoilio.

At Bonzo the totes were selling like hot cakes...everyone was walking around with them....the must have atm it appears.

So which colour did you go for in the end Nemo??

This seems to be very popular with a lot of the more 'dedicated' scrappers

Dh sells laptop bags which are big enough to hold 12 x 12 and then some.

He sells them for £20 so half the price of those and they would do the smae job. I'm going to get one for when I start running these crops
