GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. Thanks to all who entered. Winner will be announced on Wednesday on Facebook!
Happy Monday! I’m back from my quick trip to the Outer Banks (16 hours total driving, whew) and can’t wait to share about it– but first things first. Let’s start the week off right with a giveaway for a Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Small Tote in Raspberry (retail value of $79)!
Don’t let the words ‘small tote’ fool you. This bag packs a big punch, with tons of room for all your needs. Case in point: the inner pocket holds a 10″ tablet, no sweat:
See that? It practically disappears, there’s so much room!
The side snaps mean you can tailor the bag to fit your needs. Carrying something large? Simply unsnap them, and you have a huge tote. Snap them up to make the bag smaller, or more of an everyday bag for work or running errands.
The fabric is water and stain repellent, too. Especially perfect if you have kids, pets or long commutes where it might get dirty.
The raspberry fabric especially caught my eye because spring is coming and I’m so craving pretty colors! Here’s a peppy outfit I put together to share some spring style. I have a few blogging conferences coming up and this bag will be absolutely perfect to hold all my supplies. Now, if I can just find a way to snag those True Religion Skinny Jeans I’d be all set. 😉
Check out these slots that fit everything you need. Martha thinks of everything, doesn’t she?
There’s several sizes and colors (such as black and walnut). Check out the entire Martha Stewart Home Office Collection over on the Staples website.
Wouldn’t you love to have one for yourself? They are available at Staples, or you can WIN ONE right here on Making Lemonade. Just enter below, it’s easy! Please note this giveaway is open to US residents only because I’m personally paying for shipping. Thanks for your understanding on that one!
So let’s hear it: what would you put in your Martha Stewart tote?
I would put my workout stuff in that bag, it looks so roomy!
I love this tote. If I had one, I would put my scrapping basics in it to take to the crops. A sharp and trusty pair of scissors, my yellow Xyron “x” and a refill, a small paper cutter, and that day’s card making bits and pieces. Viola! A card kit in a pretty purse.
I wuld carry my ipad and all the non profit stuff im working on at any given time.
It would be perfect!
That bag is great!!! Totally want one now…
With such a big tote, I would put in more books, my camera, my iPad, my many notebooks and organisers for different purposes. For a scrappin crop, I definitely can fit all the materials I need 🙂
I would put my various craft supplies that I need most for my craft get togethers & a journal to take lots of notes that I need to reference for future craft projects 🙂 Thanks for this! I love the color & I need a new tote! 🙂
I would use this colorful bag to replace my ho-hum work bag from several years ago! New year! Fresh start! Not only am I am stay at home mom, but I also work PT from home. Often I go out of the home to meet with my boss, so I need something that can help carry and organize all the non-baby-bag related office and work items!
I mean, what wouldn’t you put in it? I would make it my “business-planning” tote, and keep all the paperwork for my startup in there. Maybe the hot pink would entice me to pick it up and work on it all more often. 😉
I love this!!! What a great color!
I would use it for travel so I would put my book, my meds, a brush and other travel necessities!
I have to wander DC for my job and it usually requires me to carry a lot of stuff. This would be perfect!
I’m a director at an early learning center so I would use it to take all of my little projects that I’m working on back and forth from the center to my house.
I would use this as my new business bag and put my laptop, iPad, and marketing docs in the bag.
I’m going to a basketball tournament in March and if I win this bag I will put my knitting project, sudoku puzzles, snacks and anything else I can think of to keep me entertained during the breaks at the tournament. Thanks for the giveaway, this bag looks great!
Everything!!! 🙂 I’d use it as my stylish diaperbag! 🙂
This would be the perfect bag for all of my office stuff since I dont have a real office in my home everything has to be portable. Thanks for the giveaway!!!!
I’d use the tote for work materials: notebook, pens, etc. I’ve seen that line at Staples, but not the totes.
This bag would be PERFECT for me, as a college student! It could fit everything I need as I run around all day to class, the gym, and work. I wouldnt have to choose which binders I could possibly do without, because I would be able to fit all of my school work, plus my gym clothes! The inner pocket would be great for my planner (which I cannot live without) and the zipper pocket would help prevent me from losing all of my pens/pencils/highlighters. I can also see my phone/calculator/eyeglass case and other odds and ends organized all along the side wall. This bag would be the ulitmate tool of organization in my crazy college-nursing-student-athlete-tutor-craft-enthusiast life!
I would put a picnic lunch in this bag for my family. We need a mini-mini vacation
I really like the Martha Stewart line at Staples. I use the flat boxes and folders everyday for blog work!
The new bags are so nice-I did see them in the store, but not the pink one. so pretty!
great find!
What an awesome tote! I’d use it for any current crafty projects – so I don’t have to have them scattered all over the house. 😉
I would use it as a purse.
Laptop, notebook, and any books I’m reading!
I would put books/ magazines to keep in car for the long waiting times during sports practices.
I would put all of my notebooks and datebook in the tote. Oh, and everything else I carry with me:)
I’d put my schoolbooks in it!
This would definitely be my go to conference bag! iPad, pad of paper and pens and everything else that I need. Won’t we all laugh if e end up at Type A and we all have the same bag. 🙂
I would make this my work/ school bag. My books, homework, planner, notebooks and tablet would all be stored in that bag!
Ummm … everything?! It looks like a great bag for my commute — it looks like it’ll fit my wristlet, lunch, and some reading material for the train. If it fits my laptop, that’s a big bonus and I can take it to meetings!
My IPad would love to travel I that perfect tote!
I would put crafting supplies and all sorts of things. It would be used to carry different items on different occasions.
I would put everything in there! My laptop, iPad, planner, wallet, keys, phone, lip gloss, Diet Coke, oh man I carry a lot of stuff…
I buy my purses and totes to fit my ipad – I take it EVERYWHERE with me! I would love to win one of these totes – not too big – not to small – perfect. And the color is so fun!
I would put my laptop, and all work stuff. I have so many binders and papers and supplies I bring back and forth to work. Would love this bag!
So pretty! I would put all my regular purse items in it along with my toddler’s toys/snacks. Would be so great to have while running errands, etc.!
I would use the Martha Stewart tote while traveling to keep track of all my maps, hotel reservations and snacks.
looks great for throwing in my laptop and magazines to occupy my time while I’m waiting for the kids at their activities
I would put my latest magazines, sketch book and pens, ipad and probably a diaper or two and wipes.
I LOVE bags of all kinds and know this Martha one is well designed 🙂
I love that color! It would be perfect for my tablet, wallet, and few kid essentials.
My latest knitting project.
I would put my a textbook, a notepad, some snacks, my water bottle and my wallet in it. This tote is perfect for a college student like myself!
It would be the perfect bag to take to the pilates class that I’m starting this weekend!

Great post Carrie. Your outfit is dreamy!
I would put my tab in it along with all the things I usually have to carry with my four kids. Kleenex, hand sanitizer, books, etc. Thanks for the awesome giveaway 🙂

I would love to have the room for my Kindle and my other paperwork.
I have 3 little ones, so I would use it to take all our stuff!!
I would carry my nook and misc. notebooks like my journal & my Photography Portfolio!
