Yee! That's a cool bag! I really liked the hatbox idea, too. One thing that's cool about hatboxes and suitcases is that you can decopauge the crud out of 'em and put anything you want on there. I just ordered a suitcase style facepainting kit from sillyfarm.com in stripes:
http://sillyfarm.com/sillykits.html It's that 'complete kit' A big investment, but with our kind of festival attendance, it should pay off in donations and such. Very exciting for us to be able to spend a bit of money this year.
What do you think? I like the stripes, but I'm still hoping to decorate it. Have you gotten the clock bag in the mail yet? How do you like it?
