Anyone remember these? I used it for a few years for scrapbook supplies at crops.
I had one and sold it and now regret it... if anyone has one lying around let me know!

I wish! Same boat. Had one, used it for a while, sold it in the great craft room purge of 2016. So many regrets. Hope you find one. Surprised there are none on eBay.

Relax, just go to your local hardware store and look in the toolbox aisle for a bucket buddy. They come in a couple of sizes. Then ask a worker bee about a lazy susan to attach to the bottom of the pail. You may even find one on line. I even have one in a coffee cup on my desk for small tools.

If you're willing to spend a few hours sewing, it's an easy project to make your own too. Best of all you can make the pockets whatever size you really need.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the "pink" thing.

Yeah, the bucket buddies I've seen are for 5 gallon buckets and that's too big for my scrappy stuff. Where did you find the small one that's coffee cup size?

Who wants a 5-gallon bucket on their desk? I can't help it, but I want it the right size and it needs to be pretty. Good thing i don't want one.

I have a little pink and teal bag that has pockets around on the side (1 row around). One of the girls in our group got them from Avon a few years ago for all of us. We all looked at her funny, but damn if it isnt the best thing out there that we all use constantly! Its the perfect size to sit on my desk and hold my most used items. I can put a few extra doodads in the middle with tools around when I go out to crops at my friends house (one day I will be able to again when they lift restrictions here). Packs easy, has a handle. Best crafting gift ever!

Thanks Don! I think I'll buy one and reverse engineer it to make a pink one to sell to scrapbookers and make a ton of money and retire. Seriously though, I will definitely buy this and see if I can make it in a different color.

Check the gardening section. I have one that’s for organizing garden tools and such. The base is about 8” and it’s probably 8” tall as well. I use it in my xl Lands End canvas tote bag to organize desk supplies. It’s my portable office for volunteering or teaching (CCD).

So, I recently bought the Totally Tiffany Ditto tote. I really like it but found I don’t always have the space to open it up fully. I purchased the 9x11 Totally Tiffany rotating design board and it fits perfect under the Ditto. It’s not the same as my old spin bucket but it’s a nice alternative, plus the rotating design board is a pretty nice tool for other projects.

Lots of caddies in the kitchen stores. But these might be more fun. Make me think there's got to be more of them in teacher stores elsewhere. neon art supply caddies
And look, don, there are pink ones. And other pretty colours for those who don't like pink.

And look, don , there are pink ones. The blue one looks good to me, but I prefer the ones that hang over the sides so you get inside and outside pockets. I would think if someone knows how to sew, they could make their own to fit anything.

I remember seeing someone make a fabric "apron" around an ice cream sized round bucket. It was the perfect size. You could partition off the inside and get a ton in there.
I found several spinning totes at Target about 8 years ago. They were in the now defunct scrapbooking section.

It would be so much easier to have this one item than all the small ones I have for taking things to crops!

Just an FYI... Hobby Lobby has most of their rectangular tool totes on sale for $4.99 on clearance. You could get a small spinner at a tool supply place and have your own Store n Spin (sort of).
