Fall Super Crop

Saturday, October 26, 2024, 09:00am - 05:00pm


Spring Crop

Join us for the ultimate crafting event that offers creativity in whatever way you like it best. Starting with our beloved CROP format, we offer a full day in our spacious and bright hall for you to craft as you like.  Bring along whatever crafting or creating supplies and projects you want to work on for the day - scrapbooking - paper crafting - card making - sewing - knitting, etc.  Everyone welcome, come craft the day away with friends and have some fun.

We always have a 50/50 Giveaway - both halves given away.  Buy as many tickets as you like for the draw. Two winners will each receive half the proceeds towards a Stampin' Up! product order (before shipping and hst, which is the winners responsibility).  Tickets are $1 each and will be available at the event, but you can pre-purchase them at a discount with your registration below if you like.

This will be a really fun day - if you've been to one of our events before, you know we spoil you in every way possible. We will have some fantastic Door Prizes throughout the day, and we will play some games as well.

Our Basic Full Day Crop Cost is just $25

If you like fully instructed crafting all prepared for you to put together, choose to add on one or both of our Project Classes. Christine will teach one, Kevin the other. These classes will take about an hour and half each - one taught in the morning, one in the afternoon.  All supplies and materials will be provided.
