When you are a person on the go, which I am guessing a lot of you are, it helps to have things in your possession that will make the everyday on-the-go activities a little bit more fun. I have found a bag that does just that! It’s the Everyday Tote by Built. The Everyday Tote is a reusable shopping bag made for holding all of your daily essentials. It folds flat when you aren’t using it, but when you are… oh my goodness, this little bag can hold a lot!!!
This is a crafter’s dream bag! It’s made of neoprene, the same material that wet suits are made of, so it has some stretch. The padded handles make it easy to hold, no matter what you are carrying. Did I mention that it’s machine washable? Yes ma’am, so spilled paint and Mod Podge cleans up in a snap. You need this bag!
The kids and I went to the library a few weeks ago and I used my Everyday Tote to carry all of our books, CDs, and everything else that was due at the time. When we unloaded it at the library I took a quick photo on my phone to show you how much we carried in it…pardon the blurriness.
It’s hard to tell from the photo, but there are several full sized picture books as well as DVDs, chapter books, audio books on cd, and play-aways. That’s a whole lot to fit within the dimensions of this bag, which are W 15.75″ x H 14.8″ x D 5.7″ . You can see that it comes in two adorable designs, black with white polka dots and magenta trim or lush flower and magenta trim. There’s also a solid black option. The price is right too at $29.99. This is a bag that you will use again and again and again!

What a nice giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
I like your idea for using it for library books. We are always losing our and this would be great!
I could and would put sooo many things in that tote. I’m currently campaigning my husband for a macbook air…. Plus, I am an itinerant teacher and always need an extra bag to carry different odds and ends into the schools I’m going to, and this bag would be perfect for that!
I would probably put my kindle, a beach towel and sunscreen in there and head somewhere sandy and warm.
I would use it for hauling all our stuff in the stroller-would be nice to keep everything nice and together in one place!
Yes, I’d love to win this tote. It looks like it could handle toting all my gear to my speaking engagements. I love props, but they can be heavy and cumbersome!
Blessings,
Lisa
What a great looking tote! I’d probably use it as a library bag.
Oh I would use this for many different things. Shopping, taking a change of clothes, taking things to friends, I have a built black lunch-tote so I would get the matching black tote
Love it! These are so cute! I would use mine to tote my library books, extra clothes for the kids and my shopping lists (right now lots of school supply items!!).
I would put my shoes in it. I hate driving in real shoes and always change out of flip flops when I get to work.
I think I would use it as a library bag, something I’m desperately in need of.

Looks like a great book, snack, spare diaper, everything kinda tote!
This is great! Looks like a perfect library/park/road trip tote, perfect for books, a few necessities and the ever-present water bottles!
I would carry Sewing supplies for sewing class, books from the library, toys and a blanket to the park, sunscreen and towels to the beach, props for photo shoots, and the list could go on and on and on…..
What a great tote! I would definitely use this for library books, craft supplies, and all of the kid stuff that I end up carrying!
I can’t imagine what I wouldn’t put in this tote! So cute, and love the neoprene.
I think it would be great for hauling around my camera and accessories–support, water protection, style; this tote has it all.
Wow! This bag looks great! I have a lunch tote from Built. I love it! The tote would be awesome!
These are really cute. I would love to have one to cram full of supplies!
I would absolutely fill it with scrapbooking supplies!! The polka dots are soo cute!!
