Kelly McCreary likes to keep her grandmother Sonia near. “Shortly after she passed,” the star of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy tells Us, “I went to a kids’ craft birthday party and made a bracelet [with her name] out of letter beads.”

It’s just one of the things she keeps in her Clare V. bag. Here’s what else the actress, 37, has in there.

Memories Are Key
“My keychain is a K with fake diamonds, but most of them have fallen out. I’ve had it since 2006. It was given to me by a former boss who passed away, so I keep it.

Save the Trees
“I always have my iPad, which I now use for my scripts at work ’cause I’ve gone paperless this year. It’s so much less of a hassle, and it’s super convenient. I love it.”

“I still do a paperback book ­— I’m not all the way paperless. I’m reading Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward.”
