Description:
"We can clean the earth with each tote swap and this is no misgiven- Hope you will join me in Send me Tote and Note number 7! The previous ones have been so fun and have a lot of requests to make continue with the series. So are you along for the ride? Simple a Tote & a Note The note can be about you, your crafting passion, your hometown, a recipie, anything you may have in common with your partner, etc........ With these swaps we are working together to get rid our world of those nasty plastic bags one swap at a time. Your totes can range as low as $2.00 to $5.00 but really should be any more than that. Totes can be handmade or store bought. They are available in cloth that is recycled plastic, denim, and canvas. You can buy them at any store, I have seen them at Michaels, Target, TJ Maxx, Nugget Supermarket, Trader Joes, your local markets and each of them is adorable. They are available at musuems, parks, and so on! I have the minimum rating to join at 4.9 I have seen some lovely sewn totes and all you sewers are making me jealous with envy! : ) So hurry and sign up. Simply include a note for your partner sharing something fun and off you go to the postal office. I will angel ones that are dropped after researching it. Sorry this go around, no newbies - I had to angel too many for newbies last go around. There is a seperate swap for Newbies. I am setting up three swaps: one for USA/Canada, one for International swappers, and another for Newbies to help them build there street card. Hope to see you all on board and let's work together to save our environment. One swap at a time. Hugs.

JaMaJo 08/29/2011 #

could they be a slightly used tote bag of canvas that has been washed????

1Scrapper 08/29/2011 #

Hello. I will set up the newbie swap this evening "the hurriedmommy."

and JaMaJo - this would be something you should clear through your partner when they are assigned as it is up to them to accept or not. Me - I would gladly take a slightly used one!

I love this swap!! This is my 3rd or 4th time to sign up. ;o)

Great idea - and I'll be happy to help angel, should it be necessary. Hopefully, it won't be but if you do need someone just let me know. :-)

would a crocheted market bag be an acceptable "tote" ?

Chachi 09/ 7/2011 #

i am going to have to drop from this swap. i'm not going to be home very much and i don't want to accidentally forget to send this out and end up upsetting someone. i did the last one and loved it! maybe next time. =o)

Oh thank you for your offer toangel midwestknitgirl - I appreciate you.

Thanks Lorraine - you are a dear for letting us know in advance.

Jenthehoover: yes, please feel free to send a crocheted bag - I think that would be a treat to have! Thank you for your thoughtfulness! Hugs,

do you mean the ones that are at the grocery stores you buy for 1.99 they aren't canvas but kinda cloth like. do we embellish them or send as is. sorry never done this kind of swap.

greendryad 09/12/2011 #

I know I wouldn't mind an embellished tote, just as long as the embellishments can be washed in a regular cycle of washer and dryer.

I love the ones that come with the little bag attached so they fold into itself and fits in your purse! This will be fun!!!

1Scrapper 09/17/2011 #

I am so happy you all are on board. I do love these swaps and can't wait to mail them out. Hugs.
