Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend! I took the week off from crafting to enjoy the week with family, I hope you all did the same.

I have also been busy planning a 3 day crop and recouping from my day crop. I hope you ladies are still making time for crafting over the summer. If you are looking for a place to crop this summer contact me for all the details for the July crop, I still have plenty of room.

Next week I am setting up at out local fair and am giving a talk about preserving memories and the importance of that. I am a little nervous, I am not good at talking in front of a lot of people, but I love what I do and am excited to share it! I will let you know how it goes.

Come joing me for a crop or two!!

I have a couple of upcoming crops that I would like to share with you. The first one is June 27th in Tallula, Il from 10a-10p. The fee is $10 for the day and that includes food, drinks and goodie bags.
The second crop is a 3 day event in July. The dates are July 24-26 from 10a on Fri-4p on Sunday. This event never closes!! This 3 day crop is held in Springfield, IL at the Howard Johnsons.If you would like to crop 24/7 you can, and I have people who do. The event is $65 for 3 days $45 for 2 days and $30 for 1 day. This price includes meals, drinks, some goodies and lots of fun and time to get things done. The price DOES NOT include your hotel room. If you choose to stay there is a discounted price for the room.
I really hope you can join us for either event and for all the details, please contact me @jacquebarbee@myctmh.com or 217-415-4378.

A Few Projects from the Weekend

These were made by Tina, a fellow scrapbooker, thought I'd share her artwork.

3 day crop fun

Just rested up from my 3 day crop. Everyone had a good time and got lots of thinks done. It was a small turnout, but we all enjoyed our time away from husbands, kids and responsiblity. I didn't crop much, I made crafts for my upcoming craft night and made thank you cards for the Relay for Life event. A fellow cropper(Tina) took some time away from cropping and she made a few crafts as well. She really enjoyed making the purses( a pattern I got from my fellow CTMH consultants,thank you ladies for your inspiration)

My First Blog (a scrapbooking moment everyone!!)

This is my first attempt at a blog, so bear with me! My daughter(Kristina) has spent her last day of Spring break helping me start a blog, as I am totally a computer ditz!
My daughter and husband came up with the title for my blog. My husband, Tom, came up with the crop circle because he is a little of a sci-fi alien kinda guy. (He is in the military so he always jokes about Area 51.)
I will try to post frequently to show some of my crafts and scrapbooking pages. Also to let people know about upcoming crops, because I know those are hard to come by! I also wanted to start this blog to keep up with fellow scrapbookers and crafters to share ideas and have a good time!
