I don't believe in being wasteful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-1156366283008487132006-08-23T16:51:00.000-04:002006-08-23T16:51:00.000-04:00I, too was at RWA and loaded up on goodies from th...I, too was at RWA and loaded up on goodies from the goodie room. <BR/><BR/>Pens and notepads are my downfall -- if there was a support group for individuals who have more pens and paper than they will ever use in a lifetime, I would likely be the poster child for that group.<BR/><BR/>Free books are always welcome and I will take those that I might not have ever purchased but that I find interesting and sometimes it has opened my eyes to a whole new genre.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Because I read so many books, I love a good book thong.<BR/><BR/>Magnets, non retractable pens, pins, and buttons are items on pass on.<BR/><BR/>There was also another item I passed on at the RWA goodie room -- condoms printed with the title of an upcoming release.

However, someone at RWA this year had a double-ended highlighter/felt tip marker that's been great for editing.<BR/><BR/>I like note pads, mini notebooks and sticky notes too. They're always handy either in my office or by a telephone.<BR/><BR/>I brought home lots of free books this year -- some to keep and read and some to give away. I did a contest on our blog with one just last week and the winner happened to live locally, so I got to meet one of our blog readers. FUN!<BR/><BR/>Because I make book thongs, I'm kinda partial to them :grin: . I make mine with glass beads and pewter charms. Definitely a little more expensive but they're nicer looking and many times are a conversation item.<BR/><BR/>Someone had star-shaped clips with a magnet on the back and I love that! It's on my fridge to hold notes. I got another one last year and it's on the door from my garage to the utility room (it's a metal door with a foam core) again as a way to leave notes for the DH.<BR/><BR/>Someone else had keychains with a carabiner on it. I love those clips so I took one of those.<BR/><BR/>I got a neat luggage tag one year that had a place I could slip my business card in.<BR/><BR/>We gave away 4-packs of crayons this year and they seemed to be popular. I'd overhear people saying "My kids will like these."<BR/><BR/>I brought home EVERYTHING from my first conference and tossed most of it when we moved 18 months later. This year I only took those items I could use. Of course, different people like different things so it will be interesting to see what trips another person's switch.<BR/><BR/>Marilyn<BR/>www.writingplayground.com<BR/>www.writingplayground.blogspot.comPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.com
