10 ways to shake up your next all-day crop!

(Saw this at www.scrapbookandcards.com & HAD to put it here...so funny!! I may have tweaked a few though...)

1.) Add everyone at your table as a Friend on Facebook (or add them to your "joke" email list!)

2.) Set your egg timer every time you start to design a new layout.

3.) Start hammering an eyelet every time someone tries to strike up a conversation.

4.) Ask your neighbor every 20 minutes, "Are you going to use that?"

5.) Mark your workspace territory by laying down some masking tape on the cropping table (haven't I seen that done before?)

6.) Pull out your "All Day Crop Tool Belt", reload your stapler, and strap on safety goggles.

7.) Bring your Janome sewing machine to the crop and announce at your table that you are sewing ALL of your pages today.

8.) Line up 8 to 10 pill bottles (full of mints) and tell your cropping neighbor that they are just to get the creative juices flowing.

9.) Show your completed scrapbook to a neighbor and mention how you didn't purchase any of the supplies...you made it from stuff found in the trash at the last crop.

10.) When looking at others' layouts, mention that "The only thing missing is glitter...you can never have too much glitter!"

Do you have any that you would like to add?

Coming Up - June Crop

Several fun things happening at the June Crop on 6/21! "Garden Angels" theme. We will be playing B-I-N-G-O. For the prizes, we are asking that everyone go through their scrapbook stash, and bring in anything you don't want or use, so we can give them out as prizes for the bingo. Please make sure these are new, unopened items. Stuff you would like to get in return! Also, having a yard sale - bring your items pre-bagged & pre-priced, & bring your own card table.

Don't forget - if you are in the current swap ("5 for 5"), bring some pictures (if you want to participate in the random layout drawing!!)
