Hook, Line, and Sinker
From beginning to end, your child will have lots of fun with this creative and very interactive workshop. A story's
first sentence, all the lines in between, and the ending line are equally important. Children will create a short
story and learn simple techniques for making covers and binding their works of art.

ONLY. Each Part is four hours in duration.)
The Magical Mystery Box
You never know what fun little objects will appear in the magical boxes of the color-coded tables in this workshop.
This is a creative writing experience and team building exercise for young writers (or want-to-be writers). The color-coded
team members each play a part in writing a complete short story. The finale is the most fun as they try to make
all the team stories come together.

Business Workshops:
BOOTH CAMP
Once in a while you have to show off and sell yourself, your product, or your service at a trade show or conference.
If you have others helping you (employees, customers, vendors) it is important to have everyone marching to the same cadence.
When Sarge Lipscomb enters the room, she gives the orders and everyone pays attention. It is the best basic training you
and your troops will ever experience. (Half day or full day workshop)
