[Elfsea] Gulf War Gifts

[Betsy Marshall]

Yes, very useful but I currently have in my possession several (about
12-15) bars/sample of soap gifted to TRM at Pennsic, which they kindly
passed on to share the wealth with their populace and were not claimed.
Many others were already taken. A comment on the order of "these could
become the new inter-kingdom fruitcake" was overheard. I suggest
something more like nine-men's Morris in kingdom colors, or other fun
things. 
Useful is good and soap is easy, but a lot of others have already
thought of it.

Another idea of something to make, that is easy to pack & everybody
uses, is 
soap. It would have to be made soon, to have plenty of time to age so
that 
it wouldn't be harsh. It was one of the first things I learned when I 
started in the SCA & I am still using some of that first batch. By now
it is 
very mild.

Just an idea,
Ly Gabriele

Celebrate who you are. After all, you can't be anyone else.
A friend comes and bails you out of jail - a True Friend is sitting next
to 
you in the cell going, "Wow, that was fun!"
Speak softly and own a big, mean Doberman. -Dave Miliman
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are
