Art Supply Organizer [Perfect Portable Organizing System]
Вставка

- I have a problem…
Art Supply Separation Anxiety or ASSA for short. What this means, is that I need an organizational system that will allow me to take a wide variety of art supplies with me so that I am ready for any art situation. I want my supplies to be easily accessible, protected, and portable. I also want to be able to use the storage system in a wide variety of ways depending on the projects I’m working on and where I will be working on them.
Is this too much to ask for?
After much research (not sponsored), I decided to purchase and test the Everything Mary Deluxe Rolling Craft Case and the Everything Mary Scrapbook Craft Storage Organizer. At almost $150 for the pair, this big investment needed to do everything I wanted and more.
Find out in this video how I use this system, the pros and cons, and whether I would recommend you purchase it.
If you are like me, and you suffer from ASSA, then this video is for you!

Girl, I'm so glad there are others who admit to these art syndromes, we are not alone in our suffering, admitting is the first step! (Glad Rose is doing well)
I'm so glad u gave the ANXIETY I feel when I have to leave my house and know that I have to pick and choose only SOME OFmy supplies, to go with me... I always endup hauling with at at least 3 or more separate bags, especially when I'm going to work for the whole day. I too try and pack a little bit assortment of each art medium I have,so when I color my supplies will cover a variety of my what I call " my coloring attacks" LOL... I'm so glad I'm not alone in this, and now I have a name to go with my diagnosis. I will be sure to check this system out ...
I have not watched you in about a year. You are such a good genuine & educational speaker!
I’m so glad Rose is doing so much better! She is just so sweet. I’m an organizational nut so I love those bags. I really don’t go anywhere though so I guess they wouldn’t be too practical for me. I could see you using these when you go traveling in your RV.
I have ASSA too! I like your RX for alleviating the pain.
Who needs clothes and underwear when you can roll around your entire art studio? Me!
Very happy to see Rose is getting better. Yep, I suffer from ASSA and also GTHE (Got To Have Everything) LOL.
Spirit and Frontier just rubbing their hands together with dollar signs for eyes when they see you coming lol. Thanks for sharing!
I just carry around a canvas laptop bag with a set of markers, colored pencils, some coloring books, and a few notebooks XD
I'm so glad that little angel is doing so good 💖😊
I'm so glad Rose is doing better! Also, the sad music is just hilarious!
I am going to have to look into these bags. I like that they are not ginormous in size. I also like that they have large compartments. This makes much more sense for us who use 12x12 paper and those exact paper containers that you showed. I also liked that it was NOT filled with a gazillion small plastic storage bags. I guess you could say, “I liked the bags and the review.” I LOVE how you organize all your art supplies in the bags.
Omg! Thank you! I have that too! Even going from my upstairs craft/art loft area to downstairs on the couch. I just keep think “oh, I might need this or that and can’t not have this” lol
So glad to hear that Rose is going so well !!
Love the bag, but I think I will need to rent a mini house to carry it all my art supplies !! LOL
Great news about your little sprinter Rose! :) Please add the mentioned Amzn links in the description, especially if they're affiliate links because I know your audience loves supporting you.
On wishful stacking while in use... once at your destination, they MAY work stacked back to back. Meaning turn the top (non-wheel) bag 180 degrees to face the back but still on the upright handle, open the front, THEN open the wheeled bag lid and velcro it to the still upright handle so it stays up and open. They'd be hooked together, both fully open, and all items accessible. Maybe add a rolled up towel or something under the carry bag for support so it doesn't pull on that large back strap (especially if loaded down) and to help prevent any tipping.
Be sure they're first "placed in their use spot" so you're not later trying to lift them together. And without support under the carry bag, it MAY (or may not) eventually pull a little where that large back strap is over the upright handle, unlike when it faces front where it's on top of and supported by the large bag. Stacked back to back like that takes up a little more room than stacked on top, but they're still all together and all items accessible like you wanted.
Anyway, hope that's worth a try and hope it helps! :)
I have a 4-year old Cairn Terrier and was wondering how old is Rose? She is the dearest little doggie and is so blessed to have you and Steve take care of her. Bless all of you. Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada
I thought your bags looked familiar. When I scrapbooked more where I’d go to crops regularly, I used very similiar bags. I’ll have to dig those out again!
Glad Rose is better!
Miss seeing newer videos from you! Hope all is well! Hope you're taking good care of yourself and Rose!
150.00 is great. I actually stopped a class because dragging this to and from drove me crazy.
Garvin the Westie sends love to Rosie
I was starting to wonder how rose was doing, thanks for the good news.
I'm glad to hear Rose is doing so much better.
Love the the bags :)
That system would be great for the RV
Oh my goodness! I need something like this when I travel.
You make such fun videos!! I love it! I am also SO glad Rose is doing so well!!! YAY!
Hi guys! Great to see you!
I am so glad to hear that Rosie is doing better! She is so adorable! I really like your bag system. Thanks for sharing😊
thanking God for little sweet Rose doing so well! Love the bags for art supplies! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so happy she's ok. I hope she continues to heal and get better. 🌹❤️❤️
Thank you so much Jennifer, I really enjoy organizing videos, and I’m so thankful that Rose, is doing better.. Continuing to pray for you, and your family including your precious Rose🙏❤️
Steve's giggles are cute! Glad he supports you! I'm showing my husband this bag and hopefully he agrees that I need it!😁
These are fantastic! Thanks for another great video. 😊
HEY MOMMAS YOU ARE RIGHT THAT A REAL SYNDROME IT KILLS ME TO LEAVE CERTAIN ART SUPPLIES AT HOME. IT REALLY DOES SO I RATHER LUG AROUND THIS 100BLS BACK PACK SERIOUS!!!
Cool travel system 😊👍 So overjoyed to hear that Rose is doing so much better 💖💖💖
I'm so glad that Rose is doing better.
it seems awesome for art and craft parties.
I totally identify with you on this! I have a rolling cart (from Creative Memories) but the ones you have are better with pockets…
You are a joy to watch…I have learned a lot from you…I also love how supportive and caring your husband is…Your baby Rose is so cute..makes me happy she is doing good..love and joy to you guys!
So glad your baby Rose is improving, she is adorable! The portable system looks really cool, I have an everything Mary cart but it’s an earlier version and its not as good as this also in very bright colours! They grey is lovely- very smart! Love to hear your husband on the videos what a nice man, just laughs when you talk about your purchases. Love to the three of you x
Okay. You got me. I purchased the bag the big one. I absolutely love it. It's a dream come true I have it in front of me now I've used it already a couple of times on my travels. It just puts everything right there. This is awesome. Thank you
I have had 4 sets from Everything Mary…different colours and storage combos…I have given 2 to different people but the last 2 are staying…I have the the carousels and the other accessories in various rooms used for different things…enjoy but be warned…their different colour combos are addictive…🤣🤣🥰
Hooray that Rose is doing better!!! OK, I really like that traveling system!
Im only halfway thru this video, you just finished showing the rolling cart and I am blown away by how much it holds and so functional! Thank you for doing these reviews!
You are as we say in our house “SDC”. So darn cute! Thank goodness you love viewers to share this
I love this system and would definitely use it even to get organized at home! I use plastic tackle boxes (with a canvas tote to hold multiple) for my beads, but that wouldn’t be good for art supplies. Thank you for all of this information! And I’m sooooo happy to hear Rose is doing so well. Give her pets and kisses from me. Such a relief! 💗
Your ASSA cracks me up 😂 it's so relatable! I think all the art supplies I have would fit into these two bags, but it is worth looking into the smaller one for trips. Glad Roos is getting there 🥰
Wow, Jen. I'm impressed. Enjoy! Lib ❤
I would never afford that but how cool!
I just joined in in this video. I hope little Rose is feeling better.
So glad that little Rose is doing so well! Your organization system is brilliant and I can see where you will get a lot of use out of it!! I wouldn't need something quite so big and it occurs to me that buried in my closet I have this really nice computer bag on Wheels and it is probably just the perfect size to hold a binder with pencils and a few coloring books and then my smaller organizer bag with all my miscellaneous items, which I have very well organized. I can just put it in the car and maybe even take it with me on an airplane...that's real separation anxiety, not taking my art supplies on an airplane. I am taking a trip involving air travel in a week, so I am going to see what I can do to put that together. I can also see myself leaving it put together and just reaching for stuff out of it as I need what is not around in my other art supplies. I am going to check out those plastic boxes and see if one will fit in it to hold the books and art pads for extra protection. Thanks for the inspiration 🥰
So glad to see your sweet girl is improving. This is a great system. Thank you for sharing
Wonderful storage solutions! I am not traveling much anymore but I like having my stuff put away where it is not in my wife's way! That might be my only reason for getting some of this storage idea's! Thanks for the video!
Nice!
I think for most artists one rolling bag would carry everything they need. You have your entire studio in those bags🤣 i do understand your separation anxiety, but I dont think most people need to haul around that much.
Jennifer, You sweetie are a Breath of FRESH AIR 🤗.. I Haven't been been getting your Video's & I have been watching ones that keep me Stressed out. Telling myself To STOP Watching them,.and here you are. I'm smiling
.AGAIN.. I APPRECIATE YOU and your family.. I see Rose was needing help.. I'm glad she is doing great..Now I NEED to watch your latest Video's ..Love Hugs 🙏🙏🙏🤟🤗
I have a similar case. I got it at Michaels. It's a bit bigger, but it has wheels and all sorts of compartments and places to put my art goodies! I love it! It's also easy to over fill, but it wasn't as expensive. I think I only paid $60. But the wheels are sturdy and so far it has withstood taking it around with me.
I attend art classes at our senior center so I need to regularly pack and take tools and supplies. We don't always have a clear idea of what we will be needing so I definitely overpack! Have you created a minimal packing list? We often need to do some drawing and then add color with pencils, paint, markers, etc. I also like to take art supplies along when traveling so I need to only pack essentials.
I was going to apply for a job as an art therapist at a senior facility but was told that I need special license to do that. I have training as a medical assistant and am an artist, but I still don't qualify.
OMG, Jennifer, a woman after my own heart. THANK YOU for this video because I was looking for something to put my tools in when I'm on vacation and want to do art outside. I looked at every type of system and none really measured up, but THIS! Wow! You really did your homework. I will be buying both because I suffer terribly from ASSA and I most likely will be overloading my system too. Who doesn't, that suffers from ASSA? I love the name. Never quite knew what to call my condition, but it is funny and so true to us creatives. You're the best! THANKS! I'll let you know how it works out, when I get it together.
Glad Rose is better! I need a condensed version of your travel supplies, for when your traveling plane. Also, what’s all in your little brown bottles.
It's a good and cute system and you're very well organized. For me, I can fit my board, coloring book (in a felt portfolio case), my small pencil case, my fidgets, and my small global art travel case. And fit all my working pencils, gel pens, erasers, sharpeners, and extenders, ect... so it seems slightly excessive for me unless I needed to be away for a month... lol
But I can understand your ASSA diagnosis and the need to share with others, or even if someone who was in a school situation where that was a necessity. 👍❤
I’m so glad to hear Rose is doing well. I don’t have any need for the bags, but I just enjoy your videos. I would be mostly concerned about those wheels. I feel that they can break easily.
Thank you
Thank-You❣I was thinking of getting some kind organizer to make everything nice & neat. Since I don't have a studio also I was worried about the price$$ and not having enough room in them. I think these will work Great for me.💗💗
OMG, I have been late to so many things from this problem.
This looks so amazing. Make that $150 into $300 to get it here in South Africa. I am on holiday at the moment and struggling with ASSA . I NEEDED so many things that I didn’t remember to bring.
Thanks for another great video, I was so worried about you guys and dear little Rose. So relieved that you’re all doing okay.
Rose doing better ? Thanks for the tutorial here :]
Hi, Jennifer, Steve and Rose! Like everyone else, I am deeply happy that Rose is improving!
Thanks for this video. My thoughts:
First, I am really happy to see supplies that you've reviewed in the past in daily use - eg all five pencil cases!!! I get really fed up at times with ArtTuber product reviews which we rarely / never see being used afterwards. It's rather like those 'my favourite ...'videos, and we see a case of pencils which are the 'favourite', and they've hardly been used, if at all. (Sorry - this is a serious concern to me, which is why I'm so relieved to see your equipment in everyday use.)
The cases: The biggest no-go for me is the wheels! They are tiny, and as you've said, we'd need to lift the bag up and down even the smallest step. Mine was a gift to me from one of my art group ladies, and is like a very sturdy shopping trolley (not a supermarket trolley, but a deep shopping bag on wheels). The bag part also has a frame to keep its shape and make it easy to load / unload. The metal parts are also workmanlike, being of really sturdy tubes - unlike those on trolley cases and (it seems from the video) those on your craft trolley, and those I've seen. The downside is that I have to take the top bag out of it (usually it's my overloaded handbag, as the messenger bag won't fit!!!) to get at the bottom bag with my plein air kit in it.
At the time, I thought, "Whatever am I going to do with this? We paint in the countryside, and I have to use the car!" Now, with the cost of fuel and a reduced budget, I am sooo thankful!!! It has a seat and it also has *big* wheels. The tiny wheels on the one you've shown us wouldn't cope here, where there are high kerbs and cobbled streets, or even back in the UK.
The price: I couldn't afford it now, but from the video, it looks really well made (apart from the wheels and the lifting handles). It looks really sturdy, and for the most part, it's well-designed. I'm not sure how the plastic linings of pockets will last with regular use? Will they become brittle with age, as plastic is inclined to do? I think the price is probably justified, though.
ASSA? Yes! I've got my kit pretty well defined after 25+ years of plein air painting, but now I only use the car for essentials, and am doing far more in-town urban sketching, there are things I can't take with me, eg the satchel of soft pastels, or coloured and pastel pencils (in the same case) or watercolour pencils. The w/c pencil case usually win even though it is heavier, because they are dual purpose and I have a wider selection of colours.
Yes, I'd love a trolley with organised pockets: one with a completely unzippable front and the interior set up with compartments, like a cupboard, with external side pockets each side to take a collapsible easel or tripod, and the big fisherman's brolley (!!!) Of course, it would be designed for my kit, with the right shapes and number of compartments... I can see it in my mind's eye, but haven't found it yet.
This is great! I’m curious if the larger one would meet carry on luggage requirements? I’ll have to check that out. Thank you! And so glad Rose is doing well!!!
YOU HAVE MADE ME LAUGH SOOOOOOOOO HARD!!!!!! ASSA! THE HOW U FEEL.... WHAT IF I NEED MY ______?!!! WITH THAT FACE OF PAIN.. AND THEN THAT SAD, EMOTIONAL MUSIC ON THE BACK!!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!! 😅😅😅😅 THANK U FOR THAT!
I know you made it sound like a joke, but the struggle is real! I take a small backpack with some art supplies wherever I go, and YES it gives me some anxiety trying to decide what I need to take, depending on where Im going and how long Im going to ne there!
Thank you so much for this video. And enjoy your purchase! 🥰
If it helps you at all, I understand what you mean, possibly because I have an art trolley (like a wheeled shopping bag, but far sturdier)! Let's hope that Jenifer and Steve read this, too, test it out, and report back to us all - a very likely thing, I think. I also think that it is worth testing it out.
One possible problem that I see is that of balance. These bags are designed for the weight to be resting on the 'footplate' / metal support. If the top bag is weighty, and the bottom one less heavy, because things have been taken out, it will fall over backwards.
The other possible problem is the strength of the metal rods of the handle. The weight of the small bag is on the top of the other, and the rods will have been designed to support that, even when the bag is tilted to pull it. If that weight is now completely on the rods, they may bend.
But we won't know till Jennifer and Steve test it / someone else who has one tells us.
:)
@@MrsBarnabas I get what you said, but judging on the content she has in the bigger bag, perhaps that will prevent balance problems!!! Let's hope so! Im glad u understood what I was trying to explain! Now I feel better. 😅
@@MrsBarnabas that about the strength of the metal rods is also an issue that maybe it could be solve by using a small foldable sitting tool! I know is an extra item, but hey... Still thinking here! 😅
I like your new name for your stuff, lol.
So glad rose ok...
Okay. Somehow we must be either related or genetically demented in the same way. I didn't realize anyone else had these 'problems'. I do love my friends, tho none of them are artists, crafty at all, understand or even know a fraction of the 'syndromes' for which you speak of. I totally and completely relate to this video more than any video I've EVER watched on UA-cam! Thank you so much. Lol
AND you found the perfect, supportive partner it seems, as well. That's neat!
Wish we were neighbors!
Hi Rose! I love you!
I think i have this anxiety also...lol i feel like I need my art stuff im gonna say i teally dont have that much art supplies tho...lol but the bags are lovely...i do have something bigger but it holds all my scrap book supplies from years ago...i can see how this would be great for art students or teachers great organization ideas...i like the rolling bag especiallyfor me as i limited Mobility for being a bit older and not so steady, to bad the designer didnt think about doing better on the wheels tho cause they look as the same as the bag i have and i know i akways had issues bringing the bag up down deck stairs, wish it was better wheels so you can use it like on stairs like some grocercy carts have the specific type of wheels to adapt to stairs... enjoyed review of the bag tho....l appreciate this review of bag....Mikelle art mom👩🎨✍🎨🎃
So you keep the bags packed with your supplies all the time? Great idea!!-excuse for more shopping for duplicate items😆. Thanks for the info & the joy💝
Wow, looks sooo fab! Great tast!: thx 4 sharing!! Would want to see that PC case, and what is in it and how you organise that...and how many can fit in it ;-) because i got curieus
Yes, Jen....I suffer from ASAD....FOR sure! 😉
It’s great to be able carry art stuffs with you, although I’m not sure I see the benefit of a special bag, especially at that price! I use a general travel bag that I bought at a thrift store ☺️
they are nice bags. but I had the scrapbook bag at one time. wasn't impressed. but this bag seems like it would hold things much better. so just possibly someday. I really don't go much anymore though. so not sure I really need it. so I guess is it a need!?? or a want!?? hmmm tfir the info. hey Rose. glad you are getting much better!!
Hahahhaa i understand that .i get that with my needle felting tools and wool hahahahaaa xxxxx Happy crafting
Such a good idea though
First of all, as a scrapbookers I take many supplies with me every time I go scrap. it looks like a nice bag. Is there a link you can provide?, you said you would one, but I don’t see it. Also what is the weight limit of the bag? That impacts how it functions, how the wheels work etc. unreal expectations are not fair to the manufacturer as your bag will fail much sooner than it should.
Glad Rose is better! Thanks for a good video.
Glad wee Rose is doing better. She looks like a really tiny dog. So cute. No, I don't suffer from "art supply separation anxiety", although when I first got my first urushi (Japanese lacquer) fountain pen I wanted to take it with me where ever I went. I thought the better of it and it like the rest of my art supplies stay home. If I should take some art supplies with me I think I would just take a small watercolor palette and some paper, but this could get messy so I haven't done that either. I don't like water brushes so there is the water situation I would need to consider as well. How do people manage this anyway? I totally understand the overstuffing compulsion though. The bigger the purse the more I put in it, short of the kitchen sink, which is why I try not to get big bags. It's hard carrying such a bag! Let us know how it works out when you are actually out and about. Thanks for sharing.
What are the names and brands of your big totes. Where did you purchase them? I like them. Thank you.
Oh no! I now have a official diagnosis. I suffer from ASSA. 😂 😂 😂
💜
I was looking at something like that to drag around my work junk. I was worried about the quality of the wheels and how much weight they could deal with
Oh that's right jennifer...!!!
My problem is, I have to may different art forms I was to bring. Do I want to color, bible journal, crochet, plastic canvas or diamond paint or acrylic painting. I usually end up picking two of them. And end up bring 2 bages. I haven't figured out how to bring acrylic painting on trips yet 😁.
Can we have links to these exactly? Please please?
Just an idea...can't you slit the top bag over the handle, but on the other side..and than open and velcro the big bag? You can use the bag, turning it 90 degrees on its wheels, and use both bags, while the small one hangs on the back..as there are wheels, you can easily turn the base.....don't know if that works with this system, i have used my suitcase and topbag that way..don't know if i explain it clear enough.... 😘
Wow, very nice system…but holy cow, that is a lot of supplies to carry around! How long are you staying, LOL??
Where is the link for this???
I have ASSA
I dont know how to say this.....
I hope you understand...
Okay... You know that strappy velcro thingy to hold the flap open.... ... Ok, I dont know how it is strapped back there.... BUT is there any chance you can, place the small bag on top but facing the other side (like backwards) WHEN you are ready to use it, (not when you are carrying around)... And then maybe (just maybe cause I dont know how the strappy velcro thingy works).... Could u just, have the small bag on top, facing the other side, and then open de flap of the big one and velcro it somehow, so then it wont cover your small bag, and everything will be open and accessible, you just have to turn the cart to access the contents of the small bag, but it will be on top of the big one, and the big one will have the flap open!
This will work, only if you can strap that flap, even with the small bag on top! (Again, turning the small bag backwards)
I FEEL SOOOO FRUSTRATED NOT BEEN ABLE JUST TO SHOW U IN PERSON WHAT I MEAN!!!!
I really hope you can understand and visualize what Im so DESPERATELY trying to explain here! 😂
Did you weigh this?
Why don’t you put the one that goes on top backwards over the handle on the back so they can both be open and accessible? And you didn’t show what is in the bottom one in the inside top bit that lifts up
Me...
You are a devil! Now where can I find $$$!
Glad Rose is recovering so well!
It's my syndrome too😆😆😆
Merci !
