Kathy was in line at 3:45am. She won a Tonic Trimmer for her bravery!






The line of scrappers ready to shop!


Waiting to come in!



The mad rush.




Our full crop.














The day started off with over 75 people in line to receive the coveted blue ticket. We passed out gifts, cropped until 2:30am, and gave away prizes. The day went well for us and we hope that you all enjoyed it as much as we did. We planned for this event with you in mind. We ordered t-shirts and bags 2 months in advance, we wanted to do so much more, but some of our ideas never came to fruition because of so many other things happening the same month. CHA finished a week before and we were still unpacking CHA stuff the night before the crop. Busy I tell ya! Thank you to all that sent cards and emails to me and my staff, it meant the world to us.

We are looking forward to our 3rd year crop coming next year and it will be at least a month after CHA. We want to give the crop the special attention that it deserves; we learned a lot from this one and know NOT to do it a week after CHA. Also, being so close to CHA, there was no new products in the store, bummer for many. We learned so much from our customers on how to improve the next big crop and this is why we love our customers! This is some of their suggestions for the next crop and we are taking them.

--All crops with food will have a menu posted ahead of time. This way if you have special dietary needs, we will know in advance.

--Everyone attending a Saturday crop will receive a gift of a picture of themselves or their group while they are cropping. We will give you some paper and embellishments to decorate the page. The group will chose the winner at the end of the crop (you do not have to participate). If you collect 10 pages (10 crops), you will receive a free album. This means the more crops you attend, the more layouts you will accumulate. This will be easy for us since we have our handy dandy picture machine; you will receive the picture the same day. We did this for our first anniversary crop (do you still have the layout?). The concept will now be a permanent contest at our Saturday crops.

--There will be no more tickets handed out, we will figure out another way to give away prizes.

Sounds fun enough? It gets better, we will provide a kit for croppers with all supplies included for a mere $15.00. The kit will be worth at least $20.00. Just something to give back to the loyal customer that continue to support us.


We will be having a Scrap Pink event. I will be posting details about our Scrap Pink event on the next post.
