Hola! Hope all is well! Did you happen to get a chance to take a peek at episode 2 of TABLE SCRAPS on my Youtube Channel? Ruckus and I discuss the items needed at a scrapbook crop. We didn't get to mention everything...but here is a list of what I find helpful...hope you do too. BEFRORE YOU ATTEND &/OR PAY FOR A CROP.....
- How long is the crop you are attending...2, 4, 6, 12 hours? Overnight?
- How much work space will you have?
- Will snacks/beverages/meals be provided or available for purchase?
- Will there be a refrigerator to keep beverages/food cold?
- Will there be a microwave?
