Retreat Packing List!

 Happy Wednesday!  

We are Crop Minus 8 Days away from our much anticipated Mad Hatter's Crop!  We have been super busy prepping all the things, packing bags, and planning for the fun!  As always, there will be lots of shopping, learning, and cropping going on.  But, the key to fun, is being prepared (that sounds un-fun, but it is true)!  So, I wanted to share my favorite crop packing list with you guys!  I use this every time I go for a crop - day crop or over night!  It is a great way to make sure you don't leave something silly at home.  

You can print it out or bookmark this page and keep it as a reference and you pack those bags and load your car!

Retreat Packing List - Non-Scrapbook Things

o Blanket or jacket

o Flipflops or slide-on shoes

o Slippers

o Tissues

o Nail clippers or file

o A wide variety of snacks

o Checkbook

o Lunchbox to keep drinks cold

o iPad/Laptop/Tablet AND headphones

I highly recommend packing for a variety of weather!  Sometimes, ballrooms are really cold, sometimes they are super hot.  I don't know about you, but I have a hard time working if I am on either end of the temperature spectrum. So, plan ahead and tuck a jacket and a short sleeved tshirt in there.  Also, because it is such a large group, we do ask that you wear headphones while watching that Tim Holtz tutorial or latest season of The Great British Baking Show!

Now, go get packing so you can be crafty!
