What do you expect to be provided at a crop (supplies). What are you expected to bring to a crop:
I don't expect anything at a CROP - a WORKSHOP I would expect projects and supplies but at a CROP I would expect to bring my own items to work on. If the demo had stamps available like letters or whatever, or had paper for sale by the sheet that would be great, but other than that a place to bring my things (i.e. enough room to spread out) and great company is all that I require! I also don't expect but it would be great if we had samples to look through of layouts, etc. for ideas.
What kind of refreshments are provided. How long does your crop run:
For $5 which is what the crop I go to each month charges, we are provide with a snack and a drink. I think that is enough for a crop, I really don't see the need to have more than that as it takes away from your time from the crop. That would be saying for a 4-hour crop, like 6-10 at night. A longer one obviously would require different than that, I think the full-day one that I go to is $20 and there is drinks and snack table and one meal provided, that is for an 8-hour crop. Also the $20 provides a goody bag of paper and stickers and a raffle ticket for prizes.
And lastly what do you consider a fair price.
I think the monthly come with your stuff and get a snack for $5 is great. I would probably pay $10 for the same if it wasn't at her house - when we went to the church hall with a different group it was $10. I think the $20 for the day was fair also, $20-25 for 8 hours of crop time and a meal, I think we all brought a snack for the snack table like a plate of brownies or a bag of chips. She provided the drinks which were soda or coffee or iced tea.
Basically tell me everything you love about the crops that you go to!
Well that is about the crops I go to in this area. I haven't had good luck starting my own so I go to hers since sometimes I like to crop with other people. She always has a lot of table space which I like, but the fact that I dont' always use CM makes me a bit nervous as I want to pull out other stuff like stamps sometimes but I want to be respectful of her business also. So I actually prefer to do my scrapbooking at home. What I would love is to find a crop in the area that I can just pay a fee and scrap and not worry about what I am using or not using. I don't want to go to a workshop to buy more stuff or get more ideas, I have plenty of those, I just want a good crop place with people to get together.
So that said hope that helps from one perspective. I have been scrapping for 7 years but never get a chance to do much withthe kids being around and too tired at night to pull it all out, so the occasional crop is fun sometimes.
Oh and NO KIDS!!!! That just totally does away with the whole purpose of getting out of the house without my own!!
