... as in the
BC Crop for Kids .... an annual fundraising event held not too far from my home ... for those that are not familiar with scrapbooking terms, a crop is simply a gathering of scrapbookers working on their projects ... This crop is a wonderful fundraising crop that raises money for the BC Children's Hospital. I cause I am always thrilled to support.
One of the best things about this crop is the company ... I am blessed to have some very talented, friendly, loving, caring and hysterically funny women who I have met through various other crops and formed friendships with. Spending the weekend and bunking with these gals is sooooo much fun ... and hey, we all get a weekend away from home, so it's just a perfect little girls getaway.
For some odd reason I just did not take many photos this year, thankfully we all decided to share so i have jacked some of these photos from friends ... you know who you are ....
Mona Lisa Mae came with me to keep me company, and that she did ... she is a fun little pal to crop with, always smiling and happy to watch me create.
The theme of this year's masque was Scrapbooking Diva and omg there were some interesting interpretations of that! Mine didn't work ... i kept trying to sew the butterflies to my top and skirt, but they were very stiff and fragile so they kept breaking ... in the end i tossed them into my suitcase and wired them to the lace curtain in the hotel ... here's a few pics ... and yes, it was a whole lot of fun looking like Marie Antoinette and Prince Poppycock's love child (tee he he) even if the costume didn't quite look the way i had envisioned ...
