Many of my customers state they are overwhelmed about the idea of attending a crop- when we discuss it I find out that mostly this is because they don't really know how to pack for it. Many people just grab random paper, photos etc into a bin. Also many of my customers try to pack everything they think they *might* need.
A little preparation before hand could make attending a crop much less stressful and fun!
If you are attending with friends-discuss before hand what bigger supplies you would all like to have access too-and split them up so everyone brings one thing.
I have copied the list below with items I choose to use-there is room to write you own items for anything extra you might need/want. This is just a suggestion list, based on what I do before a crop. I hope this helps you out! Leave a comment with items you take to crops that I left off!
If you have any questions about any of the items on the list-just let me know! You should be able to download the Crop Packing List with the link below!
Crop Packing Checklist |
Remember, it is important to bring specific projects to a crop- not to
pack everything you own and hope you get stuff done-plan it out! I always bring an extra project pack or two,
although I find with socializing I end up not doing as much as I plan. J
Your items you pack may also vary depending on the length of time of the
crop. The important thing is not get
overwhelmed-crops are a time to join together with friends and other scrappers
to get some work done but have fun while you do!
