I was sceptical about the Paper Taker because of the dividers but I've never had a problem with it. Not the first damaged sheet of paper. BUT, I also have 12X12 paper keepers from Cropper Hopper
i am just too easily distracted at home. there's always something else to work on or do. or a nap to take, if all else fails. i love going to crops because of the friendships, and being able to sit and talk and munch while i work. i get SO much more accomplished that, for me, it really does make it worthwhile to pack all that "stuff". lori :-)
I keep most of my stuff in my Navigator at all times. The only things not in there are my Xyron 150 , cup holder, scraps, pictures and albums. I guess I don't have as much a most people. I keep the bag next to my desk. On my desk I have the laptop,printer,camera, and plenty of room to scrap. I do have a cabinet with drawers and stuff where I can store extra stuff if I need to but so far I don't need to. I like keeping my stuff in my bag because it stays organized , I won't have trouble finding anything and my kids won't start grabbing everything as if it's theirs. They know it's my bag and stay away! (except for the 2 year old) When I go to a Crop I just pick my pictures and put them into a small exandable file that I got from CM. I'm always ready to go. Before I used to stress all day about what I was going to take with me and how I was going to do my layouts. Now I just pick the oldest pics and my motto is keep it simple and just get it done. When I'm home I scrap more current pictures or important ones and I try a little harder to make them special. Sometimes I think I like the more simple ones where I didn't stress about it.
