In an effort to exist more than green, I thought information technology was time to create a tote purse to take with me to the grocery store.  Every time I'1000 at the store I feel a picayune guilty about all of the plastic bags I acquire.  Now, I always attempt to reuse these plastic bags merely most of the time they collect in my cupboard and somewhen end up getting tossed.  I figured if I'm going to start bringing my own grocery handbag to the store information technology may as well exist cute.  So, I decided to create an aloha tote bag with a beautiful pom-pom pineapple on it!

Since I'chiliad obsessed with pom-poms I thought information technology would be fun to contain one into my tote purse. I as well have a slight obsession with pineapples, so including this fruit on my tote bag made total sense.  To add a trivial more pizzazz to my bag, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some text.  I  used iron on vinyl to get a actually absurd foiled look.  With a cute aloha tote purse available it'll be incommunicable for me to forget it when I head out to the grocery store!
