Description:

Help our earth not to choke but thrive and join Send Me a Tote & a Note #5! The previous ones have been so fun and have a lot of requests to make it a series. So are you along for the ride?

This swap is so simple, and since so many of you asked for this again, I set up round two. Remember, ** Simply a Tote & a Note**

Let's work 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 I have seen some beautiful handmade totes and strong great store totes. It is up to you for your region and what you have available. Have fun with it.

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 and newbies are okay**

I making my tote this go around - 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.

Hope to see you all on board and let's work together to save our environment. One swap at a time.

Hugs.

This has been so interesting to see the totes that are sent. My last one was handmade and from the Netherlands, so fantastic. I am joining USA only this time because of the cost to send International last time.

Thanks everyone for participating. These are quite fun whether it is store bought or handmade.

I do sew but our grocery store has an absolutely beautiful (specific to my city) bag that I can't pass it up...

adrianaclara 06/ 2/2011 #

Hi dear, could you please switch to international? I'd love to join again. Adriana in Brazil :) ♥

1Scrapper 06/ 5/2011 #

Hello I did set up an International one too. Will pm you on this.

Hugs, Linda

Is the tote allowed to have wording on it like a store name or thrift shop name, ect?

HappyPassion 06/ 6/2011 #

TrickTime 06/ 9/2011 #

This is a cool idea. I'm going to try and make a tote bag for a future round!

Hi.....I am a newbie. I heard about this board from another board. I love to join in on the different swaps. This one caught my eye. I love bags. I just want to make sure before I join in on the fun. The bags are the ones that you find at Publix, Kroger, Wal-Mart, etc....correct??? Thanks!!!

Aloha! I love to exchange Totes, I did a lot with Brazilian friends. I am Brazilian living in Alaska. But the post office is so expensive and take long time to mail things to Brazil, so I decided to exchange only in USA. I am newbie also, and I wish to have an opportunity to participate and make new friends. I sew my totes and also I have from stores cute ones.

I signed up, not sure if you will approve it yet. Thanks anyway

1Scrapper 06/11/2011 #

Saturner: How exciting, I am traveling to Alaska in May. Really looking forward to it. This must have been a major change for you to transition to alaska. You are approved to swap.

JHJ24 - yes totes can be from wherever you shop. I try to find cute ones and durable ones from places I shop at.

Deeno1105 - yes, it can have the store name on it. I like to mix them up and found a really adorable tote today at Marshalls. Can't wait to send it to my partner.

Hugs, Linda

jhj24 06/11/2011 #

Linda.....I would luv to join in on the fun..... Please add my name to the swap. I will have to buy mine because I am not a sewer.

Thanks!!!!

DonnaLeeDesigns 06/12/2011 #

I sew custom Tote Bags for sale - everyone is different - I will check my partners profile for colour/design choices. Love this swap!!!!

Knittingdancer 06/13/2011 #

I would prefer to ship only to USA this time if possible. International postage rate was really expensive last time on Swap # 4.

saunjune 06/13/2011 #

I just joined Swapbot, but I am sure glad it was in time to participate in this swap (only the 2nd I have signed up for so far). I sew and depending on who I get paired up with plan to sew and possibly paint the tote I am swapping!

bruxbaby 06/13/2011 #

If someone can get me a very colorful Trader Joe tote bag, I would love to do a private swap!! Please send me a message. Thank you!

Stegotastic 06/17/2011 #

What a great little swaperoo!

1Scrapper 06/19/2011 #

Thanks everyone for your comments! I am so happy everyone is on board! I will break the swap down even further next go around into simply USA, one for Canada/USA and one of international too.

dardarbinx 06/21/2011 #

This is just a quick reminder that I have not sent my package yet because of the mail strike here in Canada. I am sorry for any inconveniences but something should be happening here soon as if they do not come to an agreement this week, (I believe) that they will be legislated back to work. Please consider this when you are rating your partner to check and see if they are in Canada where the strike is. You can be sure that as soon as the strike is over, I will be mailing my package immediately!

ladeebug 06/21/2011 #

I received my tote and note I want to rate my partner as super. , it is so nice, I am making the one I am sending so I am a little behind . I will send it out tomorrow. This has been fun, the only problem is deciding which one to make. ha ha I am so glad I found this site.

saturner 06/22/2011 #

I received my tote and note, and I loved! thank you so much partner! My package is ready long time ago, but the person I need to send lives in Canada and she asked me to hold the package until the post office starting working. I think I will send this tomorrow anyway, because it's better to be on the road then on my hands. Also I can participate in others swaps if I send my package.

Thank you mimi07 I loved!!!!Hope you come to visit me in Alaska and see the summer time is wonderful and hot :D

Artistic 06/30/2011 #
