Happy Friday friends!
I don't know about you, but I am doing a bit of a snow dance! I would love a little time at home to get prepped for the crop in a few weeks, finish start my December Daily album, and read a million books! If you are also ready to get your crop preparation on... I am sharing my Un-Official, Official Crop Packing List!
I started making this a few years ago after I left my paper trimmer at home and had to buy a new one... so, this covers all the basics and then some event-specific details too! So, grab your biggest tote bag, wagon, and get ready for the big event in just TWO WEEKS!!!! I dropped a poll on the Facebook page the other day and I did make some updates and additions to the list.
Retreat Packing List - Scrapbook Things
o Paper trimmer (extra blades too!)
o Scissors
o Adhesive tape AND liquid glue
o Journaling pens
o Project kits
o Thickers!
o Embellishments
o Paper lines (stored in class bags!)
o Stamps
o Dies and inks
o PICTURES!
o Cricut or Silhouette
o Cutting mat
o Ottlite or small table lamp
o Power strip
o Selphy printer
o Trash container
o Album and page protectors – a place for those finished layouts
o Small Desk Shelf
Retreat Packing List - Non-Scrapbook Things
o Blanket or jacket
o Extra cushion for your chair
o PJ’s
o Flipflops or slide-on shoes
o Slippers
o Tissues
o A wide variety of snacks - fun and healthy treats!
o Checkbook
o Lunchbox to keep drinks cold
o iPad/Laptop/Tablet AND headphones
o Costume for Weekend Party!
o Clip on cupholder for your table
o Chair cushion, back pillow, or your own chair, if you want!
Every table comes with electricity so bring on all the power cords! We will also have water and coffee available so a covered cup is advisable as well! Every year, we have fluctuating temperatures, so you may want to pack for a variety of temperatures. It is hard to get work done if you are shivering or sweating.
Be sure to pack those headphones! We have a LOT of people in a ballroom and without headphones, it gets really loud! Plus, it does make it easier to listen to your music, podcast, or tutorial video.
Sara brings a lot of the store with her, but she can't pack it all! I highly recommend ordering online for basics that you might need a refill on (adhesives, scissors, cardstock, etc) before the crop. When you arrive, it will be waiting at your seat! This is also a GREAT time to take a last look at the Clearance Sale! More discounts have been taken and it is a great time to grab a steal! You can shop all things clearance at this link right here!
Now, go get crafty!
