Organized Purses: The 4 Steps to Eliminating Purse Excavations
(1) Determine your purse type.
- Are you a Just One Jenny? If so, you always use the same bag.
- Are you a Multiple Mary? If so, you change bags often.
(2) Analyze the functionality of your purse(s).
- Is your bag too small for your needs? Too big?
- Is it hard for you to see items in your purse because the purse lining is dark?
- Is it in need of repair or replacement?
- Are there enough compartments to hold small or loose items?
(3) Overhaul on your purse.
- Dump out the contents of the bag and wallet onto a flat surface.
- Set aside items that you need to carry with you at all times, such as wallet, cell phone, etc.
- Toss the trash.
- Weed through receipts and notes, only keeping the critical ones. File the keepers in an appropriate location such as a planner, address book, or folder.
- Group like items into piles and assess what size pocket or slot is necessary to hold each.
- Refill the wallet and bag. Make use of all zippered pockets and open slots available, allocating a spot for each item.
(4) Perform weekly maintenance on your purse, purging any unnecessary items.

Organized Purses: The Butler Bag
The Butler Bag is a complete purse that incorporates built-in compartments to help you stay organized.The Butler Bag was designed by a busy mom on-the-go, who was growing more and more frustrated by her messy bag. To counteract everything in her purse bunching in the bottom, she placed a silverware tray from a dishwasher into her bag. The tray worked so well as an organizer, that she turned the idea into a wonderful product line!

Purseket...
Roll it up - Insert in bag - Load with stuff - Change bags easily - Several sizes and colors

Organized Purses: Card Wallet
Score Compliments And Admirers With This Organized Accessory!
So you're going out on the town. Or maybe you're going to a street market or park. You need to have your ID card, drivers license, credit cards, & money with you, BUT you don't want to be bogged down by a backpack or purse.Check out this little gadget! I am going to let the official product description speak for itself on this one...
The Description
- Select your favorite credit, ID, and membership cards quickly and easily at the push of a switch.
- No complicated electronics or batteries needed!
- Instead of spring-loaded buttons that could accidently eject cards all over the place, the switches slide forward and nudge each card out just enough so you can comfortably grab the edge of the card.
- The precision card-spacing feature is the key to preventing card demagnetization, scratching, and premature failure of your cards' magnetic strips.
- Once loaded in the wallet, your cards never touch anything except the very outside edges! A special built-in system adjusts, keeping your cards secure in their individual slots.
- The wallet comes with 18 interchangeable button icons that fit any card combination you choose. Logos for your major credit cards, gas, medical, driver's license, ATM, phone and more. You could even just use colors to demarcate which card is which, if you're not into icons.
- "But, I still use cash!" you say. Well, fear not, cause this neat little gizmo has a money clip on the reverse that can hold about 20 or so bills.
The Bottom Line
The wallet helps you get organized, save time, and allows your cards to last much, much longer. Best of all, the wallet's attractive, streamlined design allows it to fit easily into any pocket or purse.
Available Options
Black, Red, Blue, Green, Silver - With 6 Card Slots

Nice job on this lens! I'm a backpack-style myself. Keeps my hands free while I'm shopping and I don't have to worry about accidentally setting my purse down and forgetting it. But it's not the most stylish thing. Probably need to move to being a Multiple Mary!
