These are the suggestions people made to me. What do you think and what should be added or left off. Willow 1. Don't go up to people and start in with the fact that their whatever is not period. It is not courteous. 2. Talk to the person first. Find out if it their first whatever. Find out what they are using it for. Did they make it or did they borrow or rent it? 3.Start the conversation with a little positive information. "I found an interesting book on Elizabethan costume would you like the name of it. It has a really easy way to make ruffs." Share don't preach. 3.Always start with something positive. Then what you are saying sounds like a helpful suggestion not something critique. 4.Share something you did right and maybe something you did wrong in the past. 5. Give the person information on classes and meetings that might provide them with more information on the subject. 6.Play attention to the individual. Only go on if the person is really interested. Don't overwhelm the individual. 7.Always go on and talk to the person about other things. Do not make them feel judged. ________________________________________________________________________ Try Juno Platinum for Free! Then, only $9.95/month!
