We cropped for more than 13 hours. Check out the photo album of the sketch challenge (from Scraps of Color) a few did. Here are a few highlights: Lisa conducted a fun auction using Lisa/Lisa money. We checked out all of the latest CM goodies (I'm lovin that new Storybook...I see lots of quick albums as Christmas gifts). The late night crew took a field trip to our LSS Great Scraps... (that was fun to see their faces when 8 sistahs rolled up into the store, all at one time!) Our pre-teens made some fabulous pages. Our resident Newbie (Liza) created two, count'em TWO chipboard albums as gifts!
Of course we ate, ate and then ate some more...oh I can't forget we sang a little bit too as we headed into the early morning hours. Special thanks goes out to my girl Lisa for all the food prep and making sure everyone stayed focus on their projects and for planning the whole event. Big fat thank you to all the Dad's (babysitters & grandparents) that took care of our children while we had some much needed fun.
A possible winter weekend retreat is in the works so if you want to join in on the fun...just let me know!
Looks like a fun time! I really hope that we'll make it up there soon!

Hey Lisa!!!!
I just wanted to thank you again I had a fabulous time, and really enjoyed the company of all the girls. That is something that has been seriously lacking in my life since I moved here 6 months ago. I saw the pics went up on your blog, can you email me a few I'd love to scrap them.
The very next day I assembled that mini gift box album we saw at the LSS, when I get it finished I'll snap a few pics of it and show you!!

Hey Lisa/Lisa
The crop was great. You guys did a great job with the planning and the food. Thanks so much for allowing a few of the ladies to do half days, I'm sure they enjoyed the few hours they got. I know I did. See you soon.

I want to say THANK YOU for a wonderful croppin' event. As a wife, mom, minister, school teacher and person, I live a fruitful & fulfilled life (i.e. read between the lines: "busy" life). I needed a day "just for me" and quite honestly, if I didn't have a date with my husband already planned for that night, I would've taken the whole day for myself and stayed at your place croppin' but nonetheless, I enjoyed myself immensely!
Second, I want you to keep me on your mailing list so that I don't miss out on any croppin' events -- especially the winter retreat that's being planned!
