Pin FTW: Thirty-One Gifts Organizing Utility Tote (Mobile Office)

One thing I loooooooove about Thirty-One Gifts is that their products are extremely versatile! As I was setting up my Thirty-One business, I knew that I needed a central place to keep all of my business supplies (files, catalogs, mini catalogs, order forms, notepads, swatches, etc.). Because people who love and support Thirty-One are literally everywhere, I wanted a solution that I could take everywhere. I did some pinning around and found something totally Pinteresting right away. I saw some super-smart person using the Organizing Utility Tote for a mobile office. How sweet is that? I already had the tote, I just had to add the "organizing" to make it all work.

Now, I have this awesome bag filled with everything I need to do business. I have a file box (from Target) to contain all of my paperwork and catalogs; I have a resource binder in tow; and, there's tons of pockets so I can tote around my swatch sets, clips, pens, notepads, etc. I also have hostess folders set-up and ready to hand out also. This bag goes just about everywhere with me and I love the feeling of having it all in one place.

This solution would work for anyone who carries their work around. In addition to the mobile office set-up, this tote also makes a great: diaper bag, craft bag, bag for cleaning supplies, gym bag, overnight bag, knitting bag, beach bag, snack bag, sporting goods bag, etc. I love it and highly recommend this product. Black Parisian Pop is the print shown above, but you can choose from many (plus add custom embroidery!).

TILT: Thirty-One Gifts Cosmetic Bag

There's something about finding a product that you love, then seeing the crafty people of the world (um, that wouldn't be me), come up with awesome alternative uses for that product that makes it even more valuable. My most recent multi-use purchase is the Cosmetic Bag by Thirty-One Gifts. Let me paint a little picture for you.

Mom and dad ushering three children into church like little ducklings. Dad is carrying one and holding the hands of the other two. Mom has her ginormous Bible half in and half out of her purse, as well as dad's. Additionally, she's toting the diaper bag filled with extra clothes and diapers and a coffee that she's trying super hard not to spill all over (herself). On the way back out of church, we have programs/sermon notes, Sunday school papers, registration forms, etc. This was pretty much the scene every Sunday for us. A balancing act to get in and out of church with everyone and everything, all in one piece. And, seeing as how I'm prone to klutziness, I usually end up dropping, leaving, or losing a thing or two along the way. I picked up one of these Cosmetic Bag in hopes that it would eliminate some of the "issues" I was having with all the stuff I carry into church. This bag fits my huge study Bible, as well as an iPad, my husband's Bible and all the notes I take during the service (that would be falling out of the back of my Bible on my way out of church had they not been contained in one of the super awesome pockets this bag has). There's a place for everything - and I love it! I'm no longer searching for pens, notes, forms, etc. It all has it's place. AND, all of this stuff fits nicely in the diaper bag so I can carry one less bag on my person - thus increasing the chances that I get to the pew with everything I originally brought in.

I love my Cosmetics/Bible bag and would highly recommend it!
