ORGANIZING UTILITY TOTE

There are lots of different ways to use your Organizing Utility Tote around the house.  Here are just a few of my favorite examples:

. . . quilting . . .

. . . pets . . .

. . . scrapbooking . . .

 MINI ORGANIZER

In the Fall, 2012 catalog one of the booking gifts is the Mini Organizer:

  
If you turn the Mini Organizer inside-out and then but it in your Retro Metro Bag you have an instant purse organizer with lots of pockets!

It also works for your Cindy Tote:

USING YOUR TOTES AS GIFT BASKETS

A "Hot Drinks" gift basket for that coffee lover, tea drinker, or apple cider junkie - a travel mug, their favorite hot drink mix, plus some chocolate, caramels, cinnamon sticks, flavored creamer, etc.:

A "Housewarming" gift basket - a nice frame, some candlesticks and candles, a lighter, and a gift certificate to a local favorite restaurant:

A "Perfect Pasta" gift basket - write out your favorite pasta sauce recipe and put the ingredients in a basket along with your favorite pasta, along with a pasta strainer or a cheese grater:

Your imagination + Littles Carry-All Caddy = limitless possibilities!!

The Littles Carry-All Caddy also has 101 uses around the house!  Here's a few that I like to use it for!  

I keep one with a notebook and pen for those times you need to do drawings.  Everyone writes on a piece of paper and you have a "hat" to draw from!

It's great for the bathroom. . . 

. . . or for holding all your cell phone accessories . . .

. . . for small crocheting/knitting projects. . .

. . . for holding video games and accessories . . . 

. . . or even for keeping track of your e-reader and charger . . .
