Doodling on the Go

One thing that is important to me with any craft or hobby is that I can take it along when I have to go somewhere.  That "somewhere" can be only my backyard, or another room in the house. You can really bring your supplies anywhere you'd like with just a small box and a few supplies.

This is my on-the-go box.  It has everything I need to doodle or write anywhere. It's small, but it's too big to fit in a purse.  It does fit nicely in a back-pack or large bag, though.

Here are the contents: lots of pens and pencils, small scissors, rulers, stapler, eraser, pencil sharpener, compass, water brush, index cards, and a small water color set.  I usually keep a glue stick in there too, but it's missing in the picture.

To me, the index cards are key.  They're like mini-canvases.  I use them to write, doodle, paint- anything!

I keep my box in a back-pack with my journal, papers, and coloring books (Dover adult coloring books are great).  I have all my stuff in one place so I can just grab and go.  Sometimes I bring the whole bag, but many times I just bring my box.
