Happy Friday!
We are getting so excited for our double dose of Game Show Crop in just two weeks! Be sure to join the Facebook group and watch your email for updates for things like t-shirts, class signups, and more.
Today, I have my packing list! This is a collective list of your suggestions and personal experience over the last several years. It is a great resource to start from, especially to make sure you don't leave your basics at home.
I know a lot of people recommend picking one or two projects to bring with you. I preload pictures into a variety of page protectors and take those with me so the mental work of figuring out what goes where in my album is finished and I can just scrapbook!

o Paper trimmer (extra blades too!)

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.
This week is busy with prep, but take advantage of online ordering! Any orders you place online will be delivered to your seat at the crop. It's a great way to stock up on adhesives, basics, and any line you have had a hankering for if you can't make it over to the store this week. Be sure to watch your email for an exclusive coupon code for online shopping prior to the crop!
The City Chicks are so excited to see you! These weekends are our favorite!
Now, go get crafty!
