ToteTuesday – How does it work? Part 1 – Totes
Logo by Jeanelle McCall
Today’s tote-ology post is about the totes themselves. Each themed tote will use one of three types of totes:
1. A Relay for Life tote from the American Cancer Society celebrating the ACS’s largest grassroots fundraiser. Relay For Life is near and dear to my heart. I raise funds for the ACS to honor my Dad, a colon cancer survivor, and to support my sister who is chair of her community’s Relay For Life.
This sturdy and useful tote is 14x12x8″ and is just the thing to replace those plastic bags at the grocery store. This tote will be shipped directly to you from me with the themed contents also being shipped at no charge to you from the sponsor/donor. This tote is not added to the cost of any of themed totes using it.
2. A custom-made tote to suit the theme of the tote. Here is a great example made by Sue Kelly for her Altered Cloth: Discharge tote:
3. Some sponsors/donors are creatively expanding the definition of a tote and using fun vessels such as a Kenyan basket to hold their fiber treasures.

100% of the proceeds of ToteTuesday are donated directly to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause.
