Tropical Cropical was a HIT!

We had a great time on Saturday! Echo and i hosted an all day crop complete with 2 delicious Hawaiian meals, all day snacks, free pressure point massages, make and takes/demos galore, fabulous prizes and 14 hours of scrapbook time!

All who came got a mini book kit which we put together throughout the day. And John Gamblin hosted an Our Craft Lounge/Copic Marker make and take and had some seriously cute samples to share! Thank you John!

Tricia from Canon came and demoed all the newest Canon printers and everyone at the crop got the opportunity to enlarge and print a photo! The prints were AMAZING! She scanned some 15 year old negatives and created some beautiful memories for people! Thank you Tricia!

We had some amazing prizes including this grand prize gift basket and laser trimmer -- Cindy pictured above won! And Lucy, our Queen of the Crop, won a spot in our next crop "Ghouls Day Out" (see below for more info)and a friend 1/2 price!
