So I was going to start this before but never did. Now I actually have my items to put in the bag, but how do you introduce this or incorporate this into your show? Do you have people guess what the item represents, or do you just pull them out one by one and explain???

I am going to do it tonight no matter what, but some guidance would be GREATLY appreciated:thumbup:
 
Here is what I do.
I pass the bag around and have them pick an item out of the bag and holds onto it. And while I am doing my demo and I am cutting something and have a little dead space then I start with someane and have them hold the item up and I aks them what they think it is for and then I explain what it means to me. I hope that gives you some ideas.

I guess the unlucky gal who gets the bra gets some laughs!!

I'm assuming you use it - for the support you get - or do you have a better one? I Picked a nice big pink one :)
 
I am not brave enough to use a bra I have a PC CD that I use and there I talk about all the support that we get.
 
I use a scrapbook. I will try to photograph it so you can see it. It talks about my Why. I read it at my show- like a story book.
