Happy 1st of March! It is the glorious month of our annual MEGAAA crop...  Please mark your planners: per the poll results, our crop will be held on the weekend of March 11-13. What? A weekend of fun, chatter, mutual cheering on, creative play, exchange and even extra points gathering for the Team Players. How? Just hop in and make yourself comfortable. There are no rules. You do what suits you: cards, LOs, Project Life, art journal, planner pages, any kind of crafting you are in the mood for. No need to sign up. When the thread opens next week, make your presence known and jump right in. No commitment either, attend whenever you can/wish to. |

Like to challenge yourself? Looking for some bonus points as a Team Player ( grammadee will explain how the extra points work)? Download our March MEGAAA Crop BINGO card below. Participation in the BINGO challenge is optional. Interpretation is loose. We highly encourage letting your creativity run with the prompts as you wish. 'Torn' could be a torn paper edge, a piece of washi tape torn off the roll or a story about a loved one having torn their ACL, for ex.   |

Thanks so much for doing this again, sleepingbooty ! Looking forward to playing along. Any pea is welcome to join in, chat along, use the cues from the bingo card to inspire their creativity, and share the results in the crop thread. If you are not on one of our challenge teams, please ignore this points information. But if you ARE a team member, there are points to be earned here: One point for each bingo square met on your projects this month. Five BONUS points for completing any 3 in a row on any one project. (Row can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) Twenty five bonus points if you can get a BLACKOUT on any combination of projects. Double points for anything you create during the crop weekend. Giving us 4 days for that window: Friday March 11to Monday March 14th. This includes ALL points, including virtual crop attendance and organizing &/or meeting any of the 28-4-28 or Quarter 1 challenges. Linda and jeremysgirl , can you please pass this info on to the teams? |

Thank you sleepingbooty - I'm excited and have marked the dates in my calendar and am letting DH know I'll be busy. I think DD15 is camping that weekend. grammadee - I've linked this thread in the Paper Posse thread. Hoping to see all of the posse at the crop. |

I've posted for the Scissor Sisters. I'm hoping I can play a bit on that Friday. Unfortunately, when I voted I thought I was going out of town the weekend before. But as it turns out, I'm going out of town this particular weekend.  My Esther is moving to Illinois. And I'm taking her down there. |

Can you tell me the times? I am on the east coast.

Ah, maybe I will even scrap a few pages! It is before our spring break here in Oregon, and I might actually have time?

I'm going to try to pop in. Seems like all my best laid scrapping plans have gone amiss lately.
Like running out of double sided tape while adhering ds's school project with him.
And having no back ups.
Then ordering more on Amazon, only to get an "Undeliverable" email notice and immediately refunded. (Turns out something happened to their truck and packages were damaged)
I bought a roll of tape at Walgreens (their last roll!) the next afternoon, but I definitely need to place an order to have back ups.

Most of the crop action takes place right on a discussion thread. We will also have some virtual get together over the weekend if peas want to host them, but otherwise you can just scrap when the urge hits; jump in and chat whenever it’s convenient for YOU. |

A little PSA for those who haven't participated in our of our MEGAAA weekend-long crops before:
1. There will be a main thread that works as the central hub. You come in, you exchange like in any other discussion on hte board, you share photos of your work/progress if you wish, you are at home in this crop thread all weekend long. There are no times or time zones to take into account. I try to free up as much of my time as possible to hang with everyone there as long as I can throughout all 3 days. I can't wait to meet you in there!
2. There will be virtual mini crop-along sessions as well for those who like to crop together IRL via screen. These will be on North-American time and hosted by a variety of wonderful volunteers. Anybody is welcome to join those as they please!

I just ordered extra tape (woo-hoo! Really living that party girl lifestyle, huh?)
I'm really trying to make time to scrap this weekend. I'm hoping that my mojo shows up as well.

I got an email today that the place I sometimes order my photos from has 5c prints for the next 8 days. I've been telling myself for the last couple of weeks I should get some photos ready for the next time they have a sale, so I guess I'll be getting my butt into gear so I can have some new photos for this weekend.

I would love to try and work on my vacation album, I bought a CT one quite a while ago and I am trying to decide if I have too many photos for it or not. Looking at my other one I made, I can cram 15 pages (double sided) into the album, so max 30 photos. Most of my photos are 4x6, so I am going to go thru them and see if all of them are must scrap or not, or if they can be cropped. It's like too many pics for a mini album, but not enough for a 12x12...ah life.  |

Happy early Thursday morning from Europe! If you plan on playing along this weekend, this is your final day to: 1. Prep a mini crop kit. It doesn't need to be complete or big but even just pulling out stamp sets that will work for your cards, PL pages, LOs is a big help. Don't forget to use the BINGO card to guide you for your product choices. 2. Prep whatever you and your family will need for the weekend so you don't have to be interrupted all the time. Maybe make a couple of meals ready to be heated? Pick up some snacks and beverages you like that are scrap-friendly? 3. Remind your loved ones you'll be in crafty mode this weekend. They do tend to forget very easily.   |

sleepingbooty Yes! Time to prep not only the scrap desk, but the family. Today I'm doing a big grocery shop, making a couple meals, having lots of easy snacks available for the hungry (family) masses. I'm also trying to do household tasks & projects so that I won't talk myself out of relaxing with my scrap stuff. Hoping to get a couple yard chores finished, and make progress on the next step of a household project.
