Cropping again...

This weekend I attended the Salvation Army Crop.  It was a lot of fun.  I took a class with Barb, standing on the far right below.  I hope I have the names correct from left to right: (Standing) Nancy, seated- Kelly, Pat, Kim, Gynn.  We made a scrapbook page and a Halloween treat container.

 Cute treat container!

My friend from Virginia, Marilyn and her husband Dennis took
these pictures when they visited us in June.

This was my little table of my retired stamps and new products and I had the new
Gift Bow Bigz Big Shot Die and some of my retired DSP paper cut for them to make
their own bow. Everyone loved it.

Washi Tape is so fun to use!

Well I bit the bullet and went to my first real "CROP"  this weekend and had soooooooooo much fun.  We had to take prizes to swap and when I saw a lunch bag on Pinterest using washi tape I knew I wanted to make one.  I folded the bottom half of the bag up and taped down the length of the bag, letting the washi tape hang over the side and then add more washi tape on the opposite site and tape sides touching. I hope that is clear.   I stamped yum and attached and put my picnic supplies in what fun.

This is the little tag I attached so the recipient would know how to use it.

Back to the "CROP" I walked in with my big shot bag and one of my SU bags and the girls said do you want us to help you bring in the rest?  HA! was I surprised (that was all I had), they seemed to move in for the week.  I had projects for my roommates and my swaps to work on and I knew what I was going to do so I didn't have all that much.  I realized that part of the fun of a crop is to create with others that love what you do.  They were all so generous with their ideas and supplies, they even loaned me an Ott light and a riser (who knew I would need that) I was so clueless but I can't tell you what fun I had.   I will post pics of my projects next week because I don't want to spoil any surprises.

 Below is a picture of a quarter of the room.  See all the stuff they have on their table?  You should see the "stuff" they have on the floor, under the table on the side of the wall. It makes my stamp studio look like so sparse.  What fun! Can't wait till next time.

I am packing my clothes and getting ready to go to the 25th Stampin' UP! convention on Tuesday.  I will be posting from convention and bringing back great new ideas to share with you.   Have a great week. Blessings,

New Friends in Vero Beach!!!

Yesterday I went to a crop with my friend Irene Testa and stayed a while and she introduced me to her scrapbooking friends and they are sooooooooooooo nice.  My other friend June Sullivan and I went to yard and estate sales this morning and dropped by the crop to check in to see what they were creating.  These girls are amazing and so creative. 

Above is from left to right, Kim Rogers, June Sullivan, me, Xiomara Deluke and Irene Testa.  We are all checking our phones for a good date to have my first Stampin UP party.  I can't wait to show them the new catalog.  What a fun bunch of girls, I can't wait to create with them.

If you are in the Vero Beach, FL area contact me for details on how to have your own Stampin' UP! party, girls night or morning out.  Some me time.   

Thanks for stopping by!!
