After that the price goes up $5 more dollars. If you haven't signed up for the Economic Recovery Crop, please don't delay. We have received request from people who want to sit with their Scrapfriends that haven't signed up yet. We have several things in store for our Crop weekend that you're sure to enjoy, and there are new products arriving just for the crop. So if you can't crop with us, you can always come to shop at the many vendors. Oh, and did we mention that Economic recovery doesn’t necessarily mean “No Frills”, so come and see some of the great surprises we have in store for you! We have some amazing classes that will be going on!

Economic Crop Update

The calls are coming in and I'm so glad y'all are signing up for the crop. We started out wanting a "Low Frills" no fuss crop but it seems like everyday, Shannon and I are adding more. Remember, because we lowered the price of this event , we had to make a few changes. No lunch provided but we will have hearty snacks and dinner. The welcome gift will be something small but useful. We have more vendors signing up every time I check our emails. Thanks! If you are an independent consultant and want to vendor or put fliers in our goodie bags, let us know. If you want to just come by to SHOP, we welcome that as well so tell all your scrap friends. Memories in the Making will be there with new scrapbook goodies. Another way we are trying to help is with a "Swap" table. You bring one, take one. Even those sticker sheets that you only used one off of may be just what your fellow scrapper is looking for. And Shannon is teaching a coupon class which is sure to get your mind on saving. ( I even call her from the store asking if I'm getting the BEST deal). We will be collecting for ONE WARM COAT: coats, jackets, sweaters,pants, undies, socks, hats & gloves, sugar, canned goods and trash bags. Stay tuned for more info coming. And all for $45 for 2day pass. Price goes up to $50 after Dec.26
Oh! We only have a few more spots for the Winter Kisses Retreat in Myrtle Beach, so if you want a space let us know. Remember rates start at only $200 for the weekend and your room and crop space can be on the same floor. Plus we will have new products fresh from CHA Winter

Crop and Retreat update

We have had a great response to the emails. We have only 15 spots left for the Myrtle Beach Retreat Feb.19-21,2010. So hurry and sign up. Also we have great vendors signed up for the Jan 8-9,2010 crop. Tastefully Simple, Thirty-one, Tupperware, and Grand Canyon Candles are a few of the vendors already on board.

We are limited to 30 croppers for this, but we will have a table to ourselves, and you won’t believe just how great this place is. You can literally drive up to the crop space to unload, with luggage carts there to move your things to your table. Our accommodations are located on the same floor as the space we are cropping in, so absolute convenience! Dinner is on our own, but with so many restaurants in the area, even one on site, we thought it would be better to let you have your choice.(Optional Dinner Plan available) Oh, and did I mention that there is a fridge and microwave in each room, and many have kitchenettes?

Ladies, there is an ocean view from every single room. If you want to take a break from cropping, we are directly on the beach, so simply walk out back. Or, take a swim in the heated indoor pool or a dip in the hot tub. This is going to be such an amazing, relaxing weekend. We can’t wait to share it with you! -- Monica and Shannon memoriesinthemakingcrops.blogspot.com memoriesinthemakingcrops@gmail.com
