Product Review - Seagull Black Laptop Backpack

Now that I am flying so much, I needed to re-evaluate what I was travelling with as onboard luggage. As well as how many bags I was toting travelling back and for each day to work.

I was offered the opportunity to try out the Seagull Black Laptop Backpack. While it holds up to a 15.6" laptop, I live and breath on my Ipad, which comfortably fits in the padded computer slot, secured with a velcro closure.

Both the back and backpack straps are padded for comfort. The straps are adjustable and are securely fastened to the main unit. There is lots and lots of storage in this backpack. There is a pocket and sunglasses hanger on the straps. Two water bottle nets are on each exterior side. There are five zippered pouches of increasing size in this backpack, not including an interior pen/pencil/phone (eyelet headphone slot as well)  storage.

The exterior would repel rain, but is not completely waterproof - don't set it in a puddle! An exterior carry handle at the top allows the backpack to be carried by hand or attached to a suitcase. The zipper teeth are medium weight nylon, the pulls are metal and both seem quite sturdy. Side clasps allow the user to keep the pack in tight or looser mode.

There is a great deal of room in this backpack! It would suffice for a weekend bag - and it meets the carry on measurements for plane travel. I've loaded my lunch and workday bits and bobs in and there's still room for me. It looks good too with the black (won't show the dirt!) and red accents. Overall I really like it!

Where are the reviews Luanne?

Yes, they've been a bit spotty over the last week and a half. I was a little busy - I spent Thanksgiving with this little guy! 

Things will be back to normal next week!

Where are the reviews you ask?

Well....Gramma's been on vacation spending some time with this little guy.

And books were shelved - 'cause the real stories are so much better.....

Reviews to resume soon.....

Definitely not a book review!

Today I thought I would show you another quilt I recently finished. This was was started knowing my first grandchild would arrive in January. Mom and Dad decided not to find out if it would be he or she arriving. Well, I have the most adorable grandson you've ever seen!

 


And needless to say, I am behind in reading.....

Not a book post....

You may have noticed that reviews have been a

little spotty last week

(and will be this week too)

 I recently flew down to attend my daughter's baby shower. Yes, I'm very happy to report that I will be a Grandma in January!

So, instead of a book review today, I thought I would share a few pictures of the crib quilt I made for the shower.

Boxing Day post

A completely unrelated to books post today. It runs a close second, but I love to quilt as well, so I thought I'd share some pictures of the Christmas lap quilt I made for my daughter and son-in-law for this year. It was in a box and they took it out - Boxing Day post - ta da!

Anyone braving the malls today? Lots of deals in the flyers, but I think I'll avoid it and wait until later in the week.

Hope everyone is enjoying their time off!
