"Secret Helper" or "Pocket Handyman?"

Help me to name my new bags. To encourage lots of feedback on this product name (and to do a little market research while I'm at it), I'm sponsoring Mountain Ash Design's first ever ...




















Bag Giveaway Sweepstakes!

If you help me to settle on a name for this new product, you will be entered to win a drawing for one of these oh-so-useful shoulder tote bags with a full length handyman on the inside patch pocket. Big and strong enough to hold up to 11 inches. Oh my!

See more bags on my flickr site:

So are they "Pocket Handyman Bags" or "Secret Helper Bags?" Can you understand my dilemma? Do you want one for your very own? Or for someone else with a certain kind of sense of humor? Just email me your answers to the following questionnaire and be entered to WIN! These bags are, in value, way beyond the $172-$180 I'll be asking for them at my holiday shows. Read more about their design, construction, dimensions, materials, etc here:

Here's the question form: I encourage you to email your answers to me because you just might WIN!! My email: sarahogreen@gmail.com
I'll be drawing the lucky winner on December 17th from the forms I get before that date, that way I should be able to ship for delivery by x-mas.
Thanks! I love feedback.
