Your website is really cute too. I can't believe how advanced you are for someone so new to clowning. This is definitely your forté, Miss Flutterby. WAY TO GO!!

Nettie Belle <my distant cousin, so it seems...Funny comment in the other thread about my mom 'cracking up'! I loved that one!> Thank you very much for the very nice compliments! I am glad to hear that you checked out my site! I am a HUGE NERD so working with computers has always been a hobby of mine - I like to build websites and create graphics, etc... SO I am having fun with the website! But it keeps me probably TOO distracted at times! LOL

The website has already had several changes to it - but once I get it all finalized I will posted a new thread to announce it to the whole forum! Feel free to check back any time! I was browsing through your site today too... I like the idea of posting your "closet" - do you mind if I use that? I don't have any other costumes yet, but I hope to have a wide range like you have eventually!

I need something for my balloons. Right now they are in plastic baggies labeled w/ sharpies (Otherwise I can't tell the black from the blue from the purple and sometimes the green!!) and all in a plastic grocery bag. UGH... not cool.

Harmony - I got the tote at Target! It has TONS of pockets and elastic straps to hold practically anything - and it was only like $15.99... Just go to the Craft Section at Target and you can find one like it hopefully! Right now I have 4 bags of balloons in it, 4 different sized balloon-pumps, 3 of the small palettes of Snazaroo paints, 16 paint brushes, a couple of sponges, a pair of scissors, several sharpies, some little plastic toy butterflies, and a smattering of 10cent noise makers from the party store... I am sure there is something I am forgetting - but this tote holds a TON of stuff!!!

I highly recommend this tote to anyone!

I changed the look of mine by using some foam sheets that I got from a craft store. Otherwise, the tote is just a black tote - but that doesn't work well for a CLOWN! LOL Plus I glued some flutterbies and stuff on it too...

-------------------------------

Thanks again to everyone for the generous compliments! Positive reinforcement goes a LONG way and you all have me giddy with excitement now!

Bump a nose!

You are doing great keep it up. Did you get to the clown alley meeting last night, we got stuck in with the weather, don't like to drive in freezing rain.

No, I didn't make it either! When I left work there was about 1/4 inch of that froze stuff on the ground and more coming down fast! I work in South Buffalo, but live in Tonawanda... I debated on going to the meeting, but decided it was a bad idea. I had gotten a call from Cindy (Giggles) a few weeks ago - I tried calling her to see if the meeting was still on, but didn't get an answer...

But I am certainly looking forward to meeting the whole Buffalo gang!

Talk with you more soon!
