Maxx, maybe she'll buy that and you can put Pig out to pasture, or wherever retired pigs go to -- roost? But if she did that, you'd miss out on all the fun you'd have decorating it. Never mind.

One of these days you'll realize that you're never talking to yourself at Argh Ink. There's always someone (lots of someones) listening. And, you're making me want to go buy a new suitcase I can paint. Well, you and the fact that our old suitcases are beginning to fall apart. Which isn't so bad, since they're roughly 13 years old and were also around $99 at TJ Maxx. Sigh. One of these days you’ll realize that you’re never talking to yourself at Argh Ink.

Krissie just took it home with her and left me her Pig to decorate. And now I'm dying to see what you all did. Except the last comment here was two years ago so I'm sitting here alone in the dark talking to myself. Again. The stars stood up. Krissie just took it home with her and left me her Pig to decorate.

Jenny, if you read comments this old, will you please report at the end of the trip how the stars stood up? (-: It looks like a great craft project for my kids -- next time we go back to the States, I'll let them paint their bags -- with silver sharpies. I wonder if any of the other colors could stand up to black? I don't know if the kids would go for neon, and I don't know if sharpie makes neon green or not.

Usually, I still have about three hours of essential prep work to do for the trip. I'm a big believer in the "you can sleep on the plane" school of thought. Plus any task but the task at hand seems fun by comparison. Love the suitcase. I couldn't draw that with two months of art school.

It might not occur to me to modify luggage (I've got one that's bright blue, left over from HS graduation present - my parents are subtle people; one that's tapestry and one boring black duffle that I a) carry on and b) tie a bow around to keep the handles from flopping), but I know it wouldn't turn out nearly so nice if I did. But now the idea has been planted, maybe my boring black duffle can grow a nice tree... Wonderful!

I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful time in Australia/NZ! Jenny, I just love you.

On one trip I took, I got the incredibly ugly fluorescent green tags, thinking THAT would make my plain black bags stand out. Until at the luggage carousel I started seeing a bunch of bags coming out with ugly green tags - there was a school group traveling together who'd had the same idea. sigh. Now I've gone to really big hot pink tags, which I haven't seen duplicated ... yet. LOVE the starry luggage! and it will stand out … at least for this trip.
