This bag is quite large, 14.5" x 5" x 12" deep (high?); it was a computer/business bag from Target and came with a padded, zippered case for a laptop, which I've used on occasion. But mainly I use the center zipper section for spirals, my planner, and folders of stuff. It has several Useful Pockets on one side and a leash for keys. It did have a leash for the computer but I cut that off. Sadly, the bottom corners are starting to wear badly :(
So this is the full complement of crap in the bag. Bag is in the background.
And this is the contents of the plastic box on the lower right:
This the the box that goes with my planner. There are stickers, washi tape on old credit cards, tape runner, gluestick, paperclips, scissors, two rulers, Sharpie, Flair pens, and a Uniball pen.
This is the contents of the zippered bag above the planner box:
Box of drawing pencils, Prismacolor markers, water brush, Windsor & Newton travel watercolors (that I have literally had for something like 33 years), kneaded eraser in a little plastic mint case, pencil sharpener, graphite stick in a Mentos case, two blending stumps, a Fabriano sketch book, and a bit of paper towel.
Above the zippered art case is a little make-up kit. (That's a fair amount of make-up for someone who hasn't worn any in nearly a year).
There are, eh hem, panty liners, eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner pencil, shadow brush, powder brush, eyebrow brush, band-aids, a large button to clip earrings to, generic Immodium, Sudafed, famotidine, and an allergy/decongestant capsule, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and various pills in a tiny Altoids tin, nail clippers, 1st aid tape, and antibiotic ointment.
From upper left, anti-clockwise: address on a pink slip of paper, tissues, zip baggies, prescription antibiotic eye drops, Similasan eye drops, Vaseline lip balm, package of Kleenex, two spoons and a plastic fork, little box of tissues from the hospital, the planner box and art bag, both described above, and my Erin Condren planner.
Next row: Purple flat wallet with credit cards and ID, my ID case and keys for work, my car and house keys, two little bottles of lotion from the hospital, a really cool tin that staples came in, the make-up kit described above. a spiral notebook where I am planning videos and art projects, and a tiny journal for ideas, the blue and green spiral (with hot pink duct tape) that is the repository for all things related to my novel, my Sandisk mp3 player and earbuds, and a glasses case with sunglasses.
Last one: a green pocket folder with info about a medical procedure I'm having next month, a Netflix disk that needs to be mailed (the bottom row described above) and various papers and receipts.
In case you think I'm lying...here's everything back in the bag, sans the little bit of trash (baggie, tissues, and the pink slip of paper) and the eating utensils.
That's it for What's in Your Bag Wednesday. What's in YOUR bag?
