Do you go to crops

If it's an over-nighter I scrapbook the first day and make cards the second. If it's a one day crop I usually only make cards. It's been a while since I've gone to an organized crop. But back in June and I hosted four friends at my house for Friday - Monday. I digi scrapped Friday - Sunday, then made cards on Monday.

I have been spoiled with a craft room so now a crop has to be at least all day or a retreat for me to pack up and go. But i started papercrafting by being mobile so its not too bad deciding what to bring. The social part is the best for me.

I never have been to a crop period and I don't really have interest in going. I like having all my stuff around me and the thought of packing and unpacking gives me anxiety lol!

Now I would love to help at a crop with no intentions on crafting. Being around people and seeing their work and ideas seems fun.

I don't go to crops, although they always sound like so much fun. I really don't know of anyone close by me that even scraps.

I usually crop with friends. We used to go to the LSS during the day, and it varied what everyone is making. Some of our group prefer to scrap, some make cards. One gal makes banners.

Now that the LSS is closed, we meet in a small room at the library, but I would have no problem with making cards at a scrapbooking crop if that is what I felt like doing. I just don't usually do the night/weekend crops. They are too noisy, and I would rather spend the crop fee on scrapping supplies. I don't have little kids at home anymore, though.

I do both.  I go to 2 crops a year with a group of 12-18 good friends.  We've been doing this for 10 years or so.  Lately I've been card making more than anything because I'm not organized enough to scrap!

And not all of them scrap - we have sewers, quilters, doll makers, knitters, crocheters ... we run the gambet of crafts!

I was a vendor at a weekend crop recently where easily half the people working on stuff there were card makers! I think it's almost easier to work on cards at a crop. The projects are smaller size wise and usually quicker to finish, so I would feel like I was accomplishing more for the time spent.

I attend two crops a year...both are for charity.
Yes, it's hard to pack up and in a perfect world, I would love to pre-plan my projects but I know myself too well! LOL!!
Because I work at home, it is my only time to socialize so it's a great balance of helping others (charity aspect) and being a chatterbox
I'm hoping to do more...we'll see!

Totally agree! Meetup.com can really help you hook with other crafters in the area.

Crops are how I met women when I moved to a new state! I used meetup, as well as finding localish blogs of SU and CTMH reps.

Yes and I love it because I'm more likely to focus and get something done! Unfortunately, not many crops are going on around here anymore.
