Schwag Galore!

SchwagThe things I do for the workshops… well, actually Lee did most of this, she organized the writing pads, ordered the pens, the patches, she does the beanbags, .. she even took this picture!

I guess we’ll have to call her the Schwag Queen from now on :)

If you come to one of the workshops, you definitely have a nicely filled swag bag to look forward to!
