February Scrapbooking Tip
CHA Trade Show Top 10As many of you know, the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) had their annual trade show in Mid-January. Thousands of new items were released. There is SO much fun stuff on the way! While there is a lot to see from scrapbook manufacturers in terms of paper and products, there are some cool tools that have come out as well. Scrapbook Update (we have mentioned them in previous posts - if you aren't getting their emails and/or checking their site, you should!) has come up with a Top 10 Hot Picks. I have included those for you here. Check out what your favorite manufacturers and designers are doing here: http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/2015/01/17/cha-mega-show-2015-scrapbook-update-top-ten-hot-picks/ |

Tee Shirts For Charity
Another way to give back and win prizes!
 As you can tell by our website and this newsletter, we recently rebranded. New look, new logo and that means new tee shirts as well! We haven't sold tee shirts since 2011 and now is the perfect time! PLUS, wear it at a crop for the chance to win great prizes and give a little back.
We are selling these adorable v-neck tee shirts for $25. All of the proceeds will go to Bethany House, a domestic violence shelter in Northern Virginia. Bethany House was organized to help women and their children who have suffered from domestic violence regain health and dignity and become re-established in their community by providing temporary housing and support. In 2014, we were able to donate over $600 to Bethany House!
You can choose to have the shirt shipped to you for an additional fee or you can pick it up at any one of our crops. As an added bonus, at each crop, we will have a special prize drawing for anyone caught wearing a Crops Plus shirt over the course of the weekend.
Be sure to get yours before we sell out so that you can also be eligible to win and give back to the community. You can order your shirt here: http://www.ourcropsplus.com/#!crops-plus-tee-shirts/cf9y
Note: Currently we are out of L and XL sizes, but will be ordering more shortly if the demand is there!
