Greetings!
Happy February, all! We just finished our first 2016 event this past weekend. For those lucky enough to attend, it was a fabulous time!

We have so many more things in store this year for Crops Plus. We hope you will register for one of our events and join us!

February Scrapbooking Tip
Scrapbook Kit Subscription Reviews  
A number of years ago, we did a comprehensive list of scrapbook club kits that were available. We thought it was time to do it again since, as we all know, things change constantly in the industry. Below are two links with differing reviews on almost any subscription you can find. I thought that the Ink Road article was especially helpful! Happy hunting for the kit club that fits you!
January Crop a Huge Success!
Thank you for coming!

The January crop just ended yesterday and I am still buzzing with excitement. Or maybe that's just my feet still hurting. :) It was such a WONDERFUL time. We had about 20 women join us that have not been with us before, so it was a real pleasure to meet them. We also had several very large groups of as many as 10 women. If you can gather everyone together soon enough, we can meet your large group needs.  We also had 10 vendors join us, three of which are now new full time regulars with Crops Plus; we are so glad we had a chance for the croppers to get to know them, their classes and products. We hope you will join us soon for our April crop!

Grand Prize for the April Crop
Trying something new!
We are going to be trying something new for the April crop. We will be drawing the winner for our Grand Prize on Saturday Morning! Why? Because the prize is a $150 gift certificate to any and all of our vendors! That way you have enough time to shop over the weekend! If you want to spend it all with one vendor, you can. Or you can spread out a little to a few or all of our vendors. The choice is yours!
April Crop Food Drive
Giving Back
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 every year, we hold 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 a special prize worth $50!

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 last year, over 400 pounds!
