I love going and keep most of my stuff in these totes so I can just pull page kits that have pictures added. Then I bring my utility tote. I can get a lot done this way. When I go to a crop that is multiple days (and don't come home), I am much more likely to overpack. When I get home, it only takes about 5 minutes to unpack because I keep my page kits in the grey totes. Currently have five. One for 2002, 2019, a vacation/cruise, extra paper, and paper for kits that I want to use for Simple Cut Creations kits. Finished pages get added to the albums.  |

Have fun, schroema! Great idea about the page kits, and storing them in the grey totes, 950nancy. I think if I went to more crops (currently consistently attend two weekend crops a year) I would keep more of my stuff in transportable containers. It does help that I sort my papers & stickers & diecuts by theme &/or season, so I know that if I will be scrapping hockey pic's then I can grab the hockey container. The problem is with dies and stamps and wet media. And sometimes with tools. I want to have what I will need while at the crop but it means alot of lugging to make that happen. |

I like them for just storing my kits. I am in the middle of so many books that this system seems to work for me (for now). |

They are the Recollections paper totes. They are $40, but I get them $16-$20 on sale. They are from Michaels. |

Have a great time! I have been going to the Scrapbook Expo crops for a few years. It’s nice being around so many like-minded scrappers. Such a fun and relaxing way to spend a weekend.

I absolutely love going on Scrapbooking retreats or weekend crops cause it takes me a while to get rolling with creating pages and a weekend is just enough time to hit that sweet spot! I usually attend 2-3 a year but last year was a wash. So far I have 1 planed this year but the others seem to be coinciding with other plans like graduations and trips and stuff, so we will so how many pan out this year.
Have fun!!! How exciting!!
