So it was suggested to me by the Farrums that I do a giveaway of items that I personally make. So there you have it folks! I am making a "Swag-Bag" (in the words of the Farrums). Said giveaway may or may not include:  Handmade post cards featuring my own photography Handmade accessories (for example, a handmade leather envelope business card holder. Or if you prefer animal-frendly, a canvass option!)  Especially for a local Los Angeles winner, I will be throwing in some awesome tre...
