Crop tomorrow!!

Don't forget our monthly crop tomorrow, May 16th. Don't forget your swap items. See you there!

Can anyone go to the crop?

Someone left a GREAT question - YES, anyone can go to the club crop. It costs $10.00 each crop, if you pay as you go, and only $5.00 for anyone who pays for all crops all at once. All that is requested is that you RSVP so there is sufficient seating available.

Speaking of crops - don't forget this Friday/Saturday is the crop for February!!

Update!!

Please note the update on February's crop times!!!

February's Crop Info

Don't forget that February's crop will be a "sleep-over" crop, beginning at 3:00 PM on Friday, February 20th and ending on Saturday, February 21st at 12:00 AM (That means Saturday midnight/Sunday morning!!) Hourly Attendance and End of Night drawings will be held on Saturday only. Bring your scrappin stuff, & your pj's, & a pillow, and plan to have some fun!!

The October Crop recap

We had several new people, and several people who hadn't been able to attend for awhile. It was a great to see everyone. We all commented about how QUIET it was without several of our regular attenders (LOL!) The swap for October (by popular vote!) was a Christmas card, and we had 6 people sign up for that, which is due at the next crop. Many people are getting ready for the retreat coming up in 2 weeks, can't wait for that! And stay tuned for our next crop November 15th.

October Crop Reminders

The September crop has come & gone again - and we had a great time. You have been outdoing yourselves on the food carry-ins lately!! The Favorite Quote swapped went well, and we had more great examples of art. The garage sale allowed us some great buys at cheap prices. And we got the news that the SISF Fall Retreat is already full. (I'm excited - this is my first time to go!!) Finally, we had our big Secret Sister reveal, and boy, wasn't that fun?? Some of knew, and some of us didn't. Thank you for participating!!

The October crop is coming up on the 18th. The theme will be "Happy Haunting". There will be a $25 JoAnn's gift card raffle, and hourly Attendance/End of Night drawings. The Stampin Up Ribbon swap will be exchanged, and we will have sign up for our last swap of 2008. See you in October!

September Crop Reminders

Take note scrap sisters - reminders for our September crop!!

The big Secret Sister reveal will happen - don't disappoint!!

We will have another yard sale - bring your $$, and bring your items bagged & pre-priced!

Don't forget to bring your favorite school photo to the crop Saturday to share with everyone.

And don't forget to bring your swap items - no flakers please!!

See you there!!

Sept. Crop coming up!!

Only a week and a half away from our September Crop!! Sept. 20th, 1- 10 PM!
And don't forget the BIG Secret Sister REVEAL!!!! Treat ya sista' right!!

August Crop has come & gone

Well, the August edition of the SISF crop has come & gone, and MUCH fun was had. Everyone commented on how we all outdid ourselves on the food that we brought - there was definitely some good eating going on!! "You Are My Sunshine" was the prize theme, and all the prizes were summery & yellow. Many secret sisters had gifts show up, including a few more that appeared in the ladies restroom (mmm, what does that say about us??). Scrap Bingo happened again, including our own version of yelling "BINGO", which some were more enthusiastic than others!! And our own Stephanie provided a wonderful make & take (a water bottle that had it's own pocket tag where you could add a flavor packet; perfect for giving to someone special) showing off some of the latest colors & stamps from Stampin Up. Also mentioned was the success of the St. Louis Road Trip, as well as the collection of donations for our troops in July, which resulted in 10 packages being mailed. All in all, I would say that there was a lot more than just scrappin going on in August!

Helping out the troops at the July crop!

Please remember we will be sending boxes to Iraq and Afghanistan. We will start with small comfort items they can carry with them in their pocket.

Examples:
black electric tape (this is like gold in some places right now)
baby wipes
bubble gum
camouflage duct tape
candy (no chocolate)
cookies
crossword puzzles
dried fruit
individual canned fruit (with flip top)
hand sanitizer
tuna and chicken in flat packages
propel or vitamin dry mixes (individual packs ) or Koolaid straws to add to bottle water
peanut butter
puddings
powder
power bars
nuts (individual packs)
snack crackers
socks
trail mix (individual packs)
tucks (hemorrhoid wipes)
ziplock bags (2 gal sizes)

They would always like letters, old newspapers, something to let them know we are with them.
And...remember money is always good...need to buy postage for all of this!

If you have any of these items, please bring them to the July crop!! Thank you for your generosity!

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!!)
