[MR] Tokens left for A&S entries

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

I think it's a personal decision as to whether or not you leave something
for EVERY entrant, or something for just a few.  I can only say that I still
have the few tokens i received when I entered my first display.  My Pearl is
special to me, but those few tokens are my "Hooray, you're an artisan!" and
those mean just as much.  I was terrified when I entered that display.
Absolutely knee-shaking terrified.  I came very close to backing out at the
last minute.  For some folks, it's difficult to put their work "out there"
for everyone to look at.  They should be congratulated for that effort alone
and they should be encouraged whether it be by tokens or word of mouth, or
whatever.

I think we have a responsibility as artisans within the SCA to applaud
efforts.  What seems effortless to us, could be a big hairy deal to the
person with the play dough necklace.  Besides, did anyone ever read the
documentation to determine if it was made with play dough for a REASON?
