Spring Cleaning Your Scrapbook Space  

Just two weeks ago, we held our first crop at the new Hyatt Dulles and in my opinion it was the best crop we've ever had!

The new hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff was beyond helpful and attentive (they made my very stressful and busy job of putting on a great crop very easy!)



Some of the comments from the surveys:
* "Enjoyed the event! Room was great, people great."
* "I had a really enjoyable time. The venue was very nice - clean rooms, bathrooms, tasty food."
* "Loved the event and looking forward to the September one."
* "Everything was great. Food was excellent!"
* "LOVED the choice and variety of music! Thanks for having it!"
* "I had an awesome time and thought that Crops Plus and the Hyatt did a great job."
* "Loved the classroom! I liked having the event, classrooms, massage therapist and vendors all in one location."
* "LOVE the ['18 hour' ergonomic] chairs!"
* "The porter service is wonderful and helpful."

There are a few things that we will continue to work with the hotel on to further improve our events and make them the best they possibly can be. We are always looking for ways to better serve you and hope you will join us soon!

  We have been truly blessed to enjoy a hobby we love and friends (new and old) to share it with. To give a little bit back, we will be holding a food drive at the April Crop. You can win special tickets for every item that you bring! Those raffle tickets will put you in the running to win this cute embellishment and tool storage tote - a $40 value!

We will be donating the food to Link, INC, a charity that exists to provide emergency food to people in need in the Herndon, Sterling, and Ashburn, Virginia communities.

More information on what items Link, INC is looking for will be sent to each registered cropper with details. Here is a picture of some of the food we were able to donate when we last did the food drive, over 400 pounds!

 

The April Grand Prize will be a $150 gift certificate from Scrapbook.com, the #1 internet site for all of your scrapbooking supply needs!

$150! Think of all the papers, tools, embellishments and adhesive you can buy with that!

Certificates are good on ANY ITEMS IN THE SUPERSTORE and can be redeemed any time within 12 months of purchase
