I love the tote! I totally need it to organize my car. I seem to use my car as additional storage "school stuff." I checked out her other products- I am in dire need of a new lunch bag.
ReplyDeleteDana,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my 31 utility tote, but it has seen better days. Recently while on Pinterest, I saw someone had a file box that fit perfectly inside this bag. Thinking I would use it to organize myself better this year.
Happy Birthday Week Dana! That tote has so many possibilities I just don't know where to start.
ReplyDeleteHooty's Homeroom
I would love the organizer to haul my Pinterest inspired projects to school! I would also use it to be more green when shopping.

First of all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I would definitely use this tote as a mobile "office" -- I saw a trick about putting a hanging file-folder organizer in it and I *so* want to do that!

ReplyDeletemondragondrea@gmail.com
I just discovered Thirty-One, such adorable bags! I always carry a "teacher bag" to and from school...it always has papers to grade, paper clips, staplers, stamps, etc. It becomes my catch-all for all my teachery things!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that bag! I would use it to haul all of my teacher items back and forth to work! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice bag! That looks like it would be the perfect size to carry my school materials back and forth from school-home each day, and double bonus...it's adorable! =)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all...happy birthday. Hope it is a special one! Wow...using this special bag would be such a handy way of transporting all those important "school goodies" to and from school. Plus I could throw in a few extra "goodies" for my granddaughter when I pick her up from the babysitters while her mommy and daddy are coaching cross country and football in the fall.
ReplyDeleteNancy
This bag would def become my new school to home and back tote. I really need a nice big one.
ReplyDeleteFirst...happy birthday! Hope your day will be a very special one. Secondly I would use this handy bag to carry "school goodies" to and from school.

I just bought my first Thirty-One lunch bag. I LOVE it. Love the tote too! I'd like to say that it would be a great teacher bag (and of course it would), but at my house it would probably end up being a beach bag, a picnic tote, and you might occasionally find my two little Maltipoo puppies being toted around in there!

ReplyDeleteI'd carry my school "must-haves" like my lunch and papers to grade. I love this bag! It matches some other Thirty-one items I recently bought.
ReplyDeleteBirthday Blessings, Dana! Hope your week is filled with lots of wonderful surprises.
ReplyDeleteI love the bag! It is amazing how much stuff--opps--I mean educational supplies we can fit in one bag to haul back forth from school to home.
Enjoy your special day!
I LOVE this bag. I have one I use for a beach bag and I would love to have one to use as a school bag / daily transport bag. I would use it for myself and my three girls things that go back and forth to school everyday.
ReplyDeleteI love this bag! I have one that I use all the time for school to transport my paperwork and projects back and forth!

Happy Birthday to you! July is a great month for a birthday :)

Happy Early Birthday! I think this bag is so cute and fits my love for polka dots! I have been inspired to make an all-purpose teacher planning notebook and would use the bag to tote my notebook to and from.

ReplyDeletekellybrown28021@gmail.com
I'd like to say I would use it to organize my car, but I'm pretty sure it would end up holding school stuff just like every other bag I buy. Lol!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This looks like it would hold everything! I like that it is wide, so I could carry projects, and not just papers, back and forth.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You are still just a puppy :)
I would regift this bag because I have too much stuff. Lol
ReplyDeleteOh to be 30 again!! It's a fabulous age...enjoy it! I LOVE Thirty-One...recently purchased a brown dot organization tote but would welcome a black one to go with my new black-accented classroom! Happy Birthday!

Great tote to haul things from work and even from the grocery store!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!We share the same birthday!
I love Thirty One!! I currently use two of the Organizing Utility Totes in my room...one for carrying papers back and forth for grading and one for my Math Games. I bought a plastic hanging file system from Target for less than $5 and it fits inside it perfectly! Then the hanging files keep the game boards separated while the extra space in the bag and the pockets keep all of the tools organized. For my grading tote it keeps all of my pens and markers in the pockets, and I keep my external hard-drive (in a mini-zipper pouch) in one of the pockets. I would love to have another tote to keep my Language Arts games organized because it works so well with my math games!
ReplyDeleteAnd for more ideas...I use the All-in-One for read-alouds at the carpet because it holds the books and it holds my chart markers. I use a Mini-Organizer for my Guided Reading Table to keep all of my sticky notes, pens, bookmarks, Strategy Cards, ect, ect, ect neat and organized! Have I mentioned that I LOVE Thirty-One!! I would love to win this!!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway and Happy Birthday!!! My 30th is August 2nd!

I found a cute idea on pinterest using this same 31 bag---I am thinking I need this :) Happy Birthday :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI would love to use the bag for the copious amounts of work that go to and from school every day!
You are so generous! Happy Birthday and thanks for letting us join in celebrating with you! I saw a fantastic idea on pinterest using this 31 tote and a file box to organize files. As a compulsive filer who hauls a lot of stuff back and forth from the classroom, I think your giveaway raffle for this bag is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I would absolutely use this bag to carry all of my school stuff home at night and then back to school. It will also fit nicely into my car for those nights that I carry work home and then leave it in the car due to pure exhaustion ;) (Admit it--we all do it!) This would also be wonderful to help me move materials to my new classroom next month!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, my last comment didn't post. If it happens to, please feel free to delete this one!
I would love to use this to keep my papers organized in one place. I would put the items in it that i need to copy, take it to the staff lounge and have everything i need in one spot. I'd also keep tape, scissors, white out etc in it. I alway seem to need those types of things when I am in the staff lounge.
ReplyDeleteI already have a snazzy 31 bag for my teacher bag but I would probably use this to store listening center supplies in or games for indoor recess. I could also use it at home to store cleaning supplies!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!

Hi Dana,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You have an awesome blog and I have followed you for a long time. Your hard work shows. This is such a cool idea, to give away a 31 bag! If this were my bag, I would keep it in my classroom because it is so cute and my kids like "cute" as much as I do. We have leveled book sets in bags that we can check out from our school library. I check out several sets for each reading group so they have plenty of choices. These bags are difficult to store due to the fact that they slip around a lot. This bag would help contain them in their upright position so they could be accessed easily during our reading groups.
I enjoyed participating in your Birthday give-away!
