Cupcake Crop and Cricut Swarm

We're Back!


Hi, and it’s so great to be back! We’re home from our Winter Kisses retreat in Myrtle Beach, and it was such an amazing weekend! We had a wonderful time, made great friendships, and “kisses” all around! It was such a fun way to celebrate Monica’s Birthday, and an even better excuse to have lots of chocolate! Especially the Chocolate fountain… mmmm….. Okay, so now that I’m having withdrawals, here is our other news

Cupcake Crop and Cricut Swarm!

Hello, Ladies! Well, we can’t believe it’s already the end of February, and that the Cupcake Crop is only a few weeks away! Memories in the Making and Croppin in Columbia have been working hard to bring you our first THREE DAY crop! Can you believe it? We’ve had several of you ask, and it’s finally here! We’re announcing the charity for this time: We are going to be taking donations for the Palmetto Health Richland Children’s Hospital. They have a Wish List :
( http://ch.palmettohealth.org/body.cfm?id=19&oTopID=13 ), and we will be collecting anything you see on the wish list, as well as some more specific items that you will see on our blog. Again, as normal, for every donation you bring, you will get a ticket into the Donation Drawing for a very fun grand prize. You won’t want to miss it!!

The crop is March 12-14th, and the prices are: $40 for one day, 70 for two days, and 100 for three days. And can you believe the location? The Columbiana Grande shopping center on Bower Parkway (Off of Harbison Blvd). We will be in the section by Lane Bryant. There will be signs to let you know you’re in the right place! Call Shannon at 803-865-3995 or email us at memoriesinthemakingcrops@gmail.com to reserve your spot – they’re going fast!

And don’t forget the Cupcake Contest! Bring in 6 or more of your favorite cupcakes, and we will have a panel of judges to choose the winners!

How My Garden Grows Crop
Memories in the Making and Croppin in Columbia bring you the How My Garden Grows crop, April 16-17th! Where? At St. Martin of the Field in Forest Acres.

Retreat is SOLD OUT!

I am so excited! Our first retreat is sold out. I think we even sold our seats. Even up to yesterday we had people asking if we could fit one more. Thank you to all that are joing us. We are planning our upcoming events and trying to make them even better. We had a package from American Crafts today with tons of prizes and give aways. I like giving stuff away and Shannon usually has to hold me back because I get so excited. But I just love to see the happy faces of the winners. We are headed to Myrtle Beach tomorrow afternoon to set up for the retreat. If you are in the area please come by the Retreat, we'll have a store full of scrapbook supplies on sale.
