This is the best time of the year to scrap (says me!). Great challenge. How are we assigning points for the team players? We can do one point per dollar spent, or per $10 spent, or...; one point per item purchased; or points for each different theme? |

This thread is now CLOSED to new challenges. Had a power outage tonight as the result of a thunder storm, so I wasn’t able to upload the One Stop Crop printable document. Will do that in the morning.
