4th ANNUAL HIGH LEVEL LIBRARY CROPTACULAR

So this weekend was our 4th Annual Library crop  and we got off to a great start today! All our preparations paid off and we were able to provide our attendees with some great goodies and a great time!

Got the prizes all set up - man we have generous sponsors!!!

And the tables are all ready for the attendees

And our croppers have arrived!!

We had almost a full house and everyone got off to a fast start and were creating up a storm right away. I know I will have tons more photos from the weekend, so till then stay crafty my peeps!

The last couple weeks have been a real whirlwind, but now it is almost time for the annual library crop and I am just about ready. And part of the preparation has been organizing all the great donations we have gotten. Of course, getting donations has also happened while I was shopping and we know what that means - HAPPY MAIL!!! I got some last week but didn't have time to post about it till today. The amazing Queenie from Scrapbooking Fairies sent me my order - along with a gift certificate/stamp set for every participant. My scrapbooking pals are all so generous. When shopping with her I also got some stuff from another crafty peep. The AMAZING Candy Rosenberg taught a class at Scrapbooking Fairies, but I couldn't make it. I ended up ordering the kit from her, along with a bunch of Candy's new chip board products. 

I cannot wait to play with it all. And Candy also brought me some fantastic extras - she was supposed to teach a dress form class, but dumb Donald Trump and his tariffs messed that up! Fortunately she was able to sneak me a couple dress forms in her suitcase and they are FANTABULOUS!!!!

I had so many ideas for all this stuff I am bursting! I will have tons more to post about for the crop this weekend. So till next time, stay crafty my peeps! 

I got the chance to take some better pictures of one of the projects I finished at the Grimshaw crop. I finished both a swap and then a second Halloween project. One of my crafty pals has a daughter who is over the moon about Halloween and since I had so much stuff to use for the project I had planned that I was able to make a whole second project for Emily! I really love how it came out.

I was able to drop the project off in person on the way back from our trip to the city for Thanksgiving. And Kathy Lee already has it up on her fireplace with her decorations.

Now back to more of the last minute planning for the Croptacular. Till next time, stay crafty my peeps.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I don't know how crafty everyone was this weekend, but for me the Thanksgiving weekend was all about family. We went down and spent the weekend with our son and his family, and also stopped in to visit with my family. All in all it was a great weekend with the people I love the most. And now I have a TON of great photos to scrapbook. Here are just some shots of all the craziness.

Doug and our little princess

Tavie is so darn cute!

And Jeffery LOVES having his picture taken

Tavie loves her Daddy

And she loves hamming for the camera

And Jeffery loves his Nanny!

We had to keep Tavie occupied at supper.

She doesn't quite have the hang of selfies yet though.

And then on Sunday the boys spent the morning with their new LEGO

Jeffery even got into it with his LEGO

Once we left the grand kids, we spent the remainder of the holiday with my family.

Another great day spent with the people I love the most.

And I didn't even have to do any of the cooking!!

Me and my sweetie

My sister and I with our Dad

My sister and I with her girls

It really was a great weekend. I cannot wait to scrapbook it all. Till next time, stay crafty my peeps!

ATC's

I finally got the chance to take some better photos of the ATC's that I made at the Grimshaw crop. I used the Finnabair Texture Effect Pastes in all the 4 colour combinations on both white and black backgrounds so that my pals taking the class I was teaching could see the differences and choose what they wanted to use. Since I had all these backgrounds I figured why not make them into ATC's! Here is what I came up with:

It was such a fun weekend and I am glad I got so much done! Till next time, stay crafty my peeps!

Got some GREAT happy mail yesterday. One of my crafty pals Juli Riedel makes the most AMAZING voodoo dolls and when I put in my latest order, she also sent me some goodies for my crop! These are the ones I got from her this time.

I cannot wait to see what she donated too - she wraps everything so nicely I had to leave them that way for the winners! I have so many generous sponsors the ladies coming to the crop are going to be so spoiled!!

Till next time, stay crafty my peeps!!
