March is less than a month away and as has become tradition, the 2PR March Crop will be held again. Three days of scrappy madness, challenges, cheering, MEGAAA creativity, fun and friendship. Come join us and celebrate the arrival of spring 🥳 (or autumn down under) with all your favourite crafty things and folks. 😊 First up: help us decide when to hold the March MEGAAA Crop this year. Due to scheduling, we're down to 2 options this time around. Pick wisely! 🦉  |

Looking forward to this, and really hoping I can play along. I KNOW I will be tied up the weekend of the 6th, but I *think* the next weekend will be all mine. And I will be returning home with a ton of photos from spending time with dgk's! Hmmm... How can I arrange for some kind of event my dh could attend away from home that weekend...  |

I'll make whichever weekend is chosen work but the 11-13 works better for me as we're already booked for the previous Sunday with Girl Scouts

Not voting. At this point, I know I'll get some craft time in on both weekends, so I'll just let the rest of you decide  Thanks for running the event sleepingbooty! |

Both work for me too. Looking forward to some scrappy time, as lately it's been all about the cards!

Either weekend. Advantages and disadvantages to both for me.

I will likely plan to be scrappy at some point of both weekends, but I will likely have more free time the first week (the 2nd week is my birthday weekend). But maybe I can squeeze all the fun plans in!  |

Both work for me but I'm excited to see the 11-13th ahead in the votes as that's a long weekend for me so I'll be able to play all weekend.

11 - 13 works better for me & since I'll be heading to an in-person retreat the next weekend, I could do some page planning. |

I'm always home, but how does the interacting work? On a thread? Over zoom? I can participate but probably can't commit to any specific challenges. Just come and go for three days.  |

but how does the interacting work? On a thread? Over zoom? There's usually a chat thread for the weekend. Sleepingbooty often posts some questions to keep discussion moving (one I remember from prior years was if you could design your perfect collection what would you put in it), but there's plenty of the usual I'm scrapping, I've finished two pages, I've done nothing type of chat. I think last year some peas hosted some online crops during the weekend, at various times of the day and night, but there's no obligation to participate in either the chats or the online hangout. |

As Chinagirl828 explained, our crops have a big thread functioning as a hub. You come in, get settled, chat away and go as you wish. There will be daily questions and a little change to the usual format this year as we are playing with a *drum roll* BINGO CARD  instead of challenges. The bingo card or daily questions are not mandatory to participate. They are just bonus fun.  The thread is a great way to get to know each other some more, to talk about all kinds of things, to cheer on everyone else and to share the work you've accomplished. Team Challenge players can also rake in some serious extra points for their team during the weekend.  The board planners will also be offering a few virtual crop sessions over the weekend for those who like to scrap via screen together. These sessions will take place during North-American times. |

I can do either weekend but voted for the latter to give me time to corral photos and get them printed aka I'll forget until the week of the 1st and having that extra weekend gives me leeway lol

This will be the first time for me to join in your 3 day crop! Looking forward to it! Yay, welcome, welcome kokomo! So happy you'll be joining us for the fun, chaos and madness that is our annual March crop. I'll be posting a prep thread with the BINGO card to help everyone shop their stash at the very start of March. |
