10 on the 10th and sending hugs to Deb (Paperturtle)
This post was scheduled before I heard that Deb's (Paperturtle) mum, Marti, had died and I am sure that we are all thinking of their family at this sad time. But I know that Deb and Carrie are hoping to make a visit to the UK next year and trying to organise a visit to our little part of the country in order to join in one of the EK Colchester crops so this still feels a tiny bit appropriate. It's been a while since I did this, but inspiration struck at the Eclectic Keepsake's crop on Saturday. So without further ado, ladies, I bring you ... 10 things that make a brilliant crop day. 1 - A welcome face as you walk through the door. May I introduce Mrs Karen Moss
2 - Bags packed with all the essentials. Where did that penguin come from?
3 - Lots of like minded crafty ladies. As you can see, Jane is working on something that needs a lot of concentration
4 - Plenty of cups of tea or coffee ...
5 -... To accompany a selection of tasty cupcakes
6 - Lemon meringue cupcakes and the chance to make as much crafty mess as you like without anyone passing comment
7 The chance to play with other people's collection of goodies
8 and play with machines you don't have at home
9 Turning the mess in number 6 into something resembling a layout
and last but definitely not least 10 An afternoon class with the rather talented Mrs Ann Freeman
Hope to see you at a crop very soon Deb & Carrie x
Thank you Deb for showcasing the crop so wonderfully. I have to explain about the mug - it was one that missed getting washed up at the September crop and so I washed it up when I got home and it never made it back into the box with all the other mugs, just lived with my punches for a month!
Dear sweet Deb ~ Thanks so much for your kind sentiments at the beginning of this post, and for your excitement over Carrie and I joining you in a crop day next spring! That is definitely something we look forward to!!!
Thanks also for all of the love and support you have shown for my mom, Carrie, and me through a very sad time. ♥
The cupcakes would definately get me there. I wish I had a crop near me.
ReplyDeleteLove that there's a mug in the basket of 'shared tools'!! And those cupcakes look amazing :)
