I have been invited to a one day Saturday crop near my dd's home, so will probably drive to her house on Friday, stay overnight both nights and come home on Sunday.
Not sure what I will take. Tried doing up page kits, but each time I started selecting specific papers/elements to go with particular photos, I ended up just DOING the pages.
For a 3 day crop, I usually load up my whole SUV. For an afternoon crafting session, I take a shoulder tote with photos, a few papers, glue, cutting matt, trimmer, and a few basic tools. Not sure what to pack for a 12 hour adventure...
So far, I have a stack of sorted photos, a list of possible titles for 2 page spreads. Also have a list of a few photos I will need to print before the crop. Fortunately there is a WalMart near dd's house, so I can order prints there on Friday evening & pick up on Saturday morning on the way to the crop.
Right now I have one small tub where I have been collecting stuff. Hoping I can limit myself to ONE ROLLY TOTE. I have begun throwing in paper collections and other stuff that may work with those photos and titles into the tub. The host says she will have a Big Shot available, so I am also packaging some dies with particular photos.
Will need to make a quick list of basic tools. Guess if I take the ones I keep in my shoulder tote I should be okay. Might be a good idea to just take that bag along with the rolly one. It is kind of my "to GO" bag & has all the basics in it. Could also tuck my ipad into it so that I can check out Pinterest and any interesting on line challenges to help me design pages...
You see how I think... I want to minimize, but keep thinking I *might* need this or this or this...
Anyway, enough about me. Do any of you have crafty plans for the upcoming weekend? Tell us about them!

Your weekend sounds like a lot of fun!!
I haven't been scrapping lately but this weekend I want to make a layout for DT assignment and start selling some of my excess stash. It's been on my to do list for ages and I need to get it out the house.

Gosh, I haven't been to a crop in literally YEARS! Sounds like a fun time! I may be a little green with envy. I am hoping to make a couple of Father's Day cards.

I'm hoping to make a birthday card and Father's Day card tonight. Both of them should have been in the mail yesterday. I hope to do a few layouts this weekend. I have a tonne of marking to do before the end of June, but I will take some scrappy breaks. Have fun at the crop, grammadee .

You may need a 12 step program I want to minimize, but keep thinking I *might* need this or this or this... THIS is why I was never huge into crops, but they could be so fun and I should have taken advantage of them while they were around. Hope you have a great time at yours. Can't wait to see your pages! wonderwoman, 5 pages is a lot of a day for me too. Congrats! Hope you get that many done this weekend too. I have the June Sketch/scraplift challenge in progress on my desk. If I finish it this weekend, I'll be happy. Saturday is Hubs bday and Sunday is Father's day. We leave next Tuesday for a trip. So I think Hubs will have us doing outside work in honor of his days this weekend, and Monday is reserved for finishing packing and cooking for the first leg of the trip (have to bring our food since dd's allergies are so many).

I wish! I'm feeling whiny, because our weekend is packed full. I like my down time. We have a Twins baseball game tonight that I will pretend to enjoy for DH's sake (LOL), a birthday party and wedding reception tomorrow, and Father's Day Sunday. I'll need to go back to work on Monday to rest!

Tried doing up page kits, but each time I started selecting specific papers/elements to go with particular photos, I ended up just DOING the pages. I have problems making page kits for future use for this exact reason. I can't stop myself from actually making the layout once I've started pulling papers and embellishments for it. It all comes together in my mind and I feel compelled to actually make it before the mojo leaves me. Do any of you have crafty plans for the upcoming weekend? I wish I did. I'm totally envious of your crop plans! I just uploaded some recently taken photos. I have the makings of a layout on my desk. I might putter on it if I can between work this weekend, taking care of the kids, and maybe even sleeping.

as you can see, I have this iris cart that has been sitting by my desk for several months with thousands of embellishments dumped in it with no organization. I just finished making a small improvment by separating them into: Words Letters Tags Christmas Pink Not much, but I'm enormously proud! I'm working on getting supplies together to start my album on our trip to Yellowstone / Grand Tetons. Trying not to shop. My first batch of pics are on their way and I'm working on editing more. It usually takes me at least 4 orders to complete a trip album.

Congrats on the organizing, @elaynef ! Any progress in that department is always worth a celebration! Hope everyone gets a little "me" time on the weekend. I need to finish laundry and pack. Still planning on one rolly tote and one shoulder bag, plus my suitcase. Plan to be on the road by mid afternoon. wonderwoman , we will have to hold a show & tell when the crops are over.

I'm starting my crafty weekend today. I'm just using challenges from various sites to get back into the groove after a hiatus from any crafting.

I'm starting my crafty weekend today. I'm just using challenges from various sites to get back into the groove after a hiatus from any crafting. WoooHooo! Lots of challenges HERE on this site last month with our Tell Your Story activities. And of course there are the monthly challenges listed on this board and a Master List of past ones above. A Cherry on Top has June 30/30 going along with their regular monthly challenges (which include their May and NSD challenges which are still open). Looks like they post lots of examples, and that always helps me. Have fun at your weekend event! This should get your creative juices flowing. I always come home from a crop with more ideas than when I went in.

This weekend I am sewing again - fixing something I made last week and if it gets returned to me in time, adding 3 inches into a pair of pants I made for a guy that gave me wrong sizes.
BUT, most of all I will pack for my trip to Scrapbook Expo. I am leaving on Thursday and will come home on Sunday.
I am taking the rest of my England album stuff with hope of finishing it if possible. I would love to start a new project in July.

Lots of fun things planned for those who are able to scrap this weekend! Enjoy! DH & the kids have plans to spend Father's Day together which leaves me home alone. I am trying not to get too excited just in case the plans fall through. But......I plan on scrapping in front of the TV catching up on Game of Silence after I enjoy the Sunday paper and a cup of coffee. Please don't let them burst my bubble!

Unfortunately, my weekend is pretty booked up between graduation parties and Father's Day. But, tonight is Friday, which means it's my night to stay up all night and scrapbook so hopefully I'll get quite a bit done. I just started an album of my Florida trip from last February, so I have a lot to do. Happy weekend and crafting everyone!!!

Big surprise - I have cards to make! I've tried to get up to my craft room all week and it just hasn't happened. I'm hoping the weekend will be different.
I'm so jealous of those who are attending crops this weekend. My crafty group did not have our get together in June and I missed it so much. Looking forward to our July day in two weeks.

Tried doing up page kits, but each time I started selecting specific papers/elements to go with particular photos, I ended up just DOING the pages. This is why I don't make page kits. It seems counter-intuitive to me to pull out everything I need to make the page which usually means I pretty much know what it will look like only to pack it all away before I can cut and paste. I have tried but quickly learnt it's definitely not for me.

I finished an old project yesterday - the final few pages for my 2014 year in review album. Now I'm just waiting for a good sale to have it printed (the pages are digital).
I'm hoping to do some catching up on my PL album today.

It sounds like everyone has lots of fun projects underway! I want to play, but I need to get the house and patio ready for DD's birthday party and house guests next weekend. It's been a while since we've had a party, and there are lots of little repair and decorating things to accomplish. And it's 100+ degrees outside. Between that and the Quickbooks class I went to this morning, I'm in left brain mode, and I have no crafty mojo.

On my way home today. It was a different experience, cropping with strangers, but ok. Got 9 pages finished. None really fancy, but I am happy with them.
How did the rest of you do?

I made a card for my FIL and typed up my own tiny words page. Unfortunately, I have to wait for it to be printed because our printer at home is a laser. DH is going to print them for me at work. The page I made is pretty boring: all the, a, my, on, months, etc. Save
