I have the XXL Crop N Style tote that I bought about 2 Christmases ago on sale at JoAnne's. Caught it when they had the After Thanksgiving sale for 50% off. I think I paid right at $50 or just a tad over....From Me, To Me simply because I deserve it!!
Or at least that's what i told DH since he doesnt' ever buy me anything!
I really like it except for one thing...it's REALLY heavy. When it's fully loaded w/paper, an album and other supplies, it's a booger to pick up and load into the back of my van. I bought a smaller one that has a shoulder strap for crops. It's called Generations and I THINK I bouht it at Wal-Mart for $30 or so. When I'm working on a particular album and it's all theme releated (soccer, Hawaii, cruises etc) then I'll pull out my speciality paper and some basic solids, through in scissors, tape and whatever else I need. That way I'm not breaking my back when I go to a crop.
Hope that helps w/you decision making process.
