No October Crop

If you were unable to come on Saturday, please know that you were missed. We had a great time and a great turn out. Please continue to invite friends and family. We love meeting new people! :) A special welcome to Shawna, Robin and Wendy. We really enjoyed meeting them.

I personally would like to thank everyone that stayed to help clean up. As my grandmother use to say, "Many hands make light work." The help was very much appreciated.

Just a reminder that we will not meet in October due to the retreat. Our next crop will be November 8th. I hope to see you then!

Have great week.

This Saturday...

School is back in session and everyone is falling back into a routine. Saturday is our monthly crop and I hope that you will be able to make it. If you plan to come, let me know so that enough tables are set up. Also, let me know what snack you will be bringing to share. As always friends, neighbors and relatives are welcome! ;)

See you Saturday.

Retreat Update!

Greetings My Fellow Retreaters!

We’re only a month a way and I hope you are as excited as I am. We drove to Camp Fellowship yesterday to check things out and here is the skinny. It took around an hour and fifteen minutes to get there. It is right outside of Clinton, SC and the directions are very easy. The building we will be in has the rooms located on each corner and a large common area where the tables will be set up. The lighting is adequate but a little dim. You may want to bring a desk lamp for your table. There are plenty of outlets but we will need a couple of extension cords.

There is also a screened in porch and deck in the back.

You will be able to roll out of bed and take your PJ clad self straight to your table. The rooms have two twin beds and a bathroom. They provide a pillow, sheets, and towels. As stated before if you are picky about your sheets or towels you may want to bring your own. The ones provided are a little on the thin side. It has a small kitchen area with a coffee maker, full size refrigerator, toaster oven and microwave. The dining hall is just a short walk away. And if you need to take a break and stretch your legs, there is a lake and a walking trail.
Check in time is 2:00 on Friday the 24th and check out time is 12:00 noon on Sunday the 26th.

Below is a list of items you may want to bring. Also, this is in the middle of no where. We passed no scrapbook stores and I didn’t see a Wal-Mart. I have been told the closest AC Moore/Michael’s/Hobby Lobby is a 50 minute drive. So stock up before leaving home.

Breakfast food – lunch and dinner will be provided. Breakfast is not.
Snack items and drinks (They do not allow alcoholic beverages on the premises)
Cup with a lid
Desk lamp
Seat cushion
Extra bed pillow/towel
Extra adhesive and paper
Flashlight
Umbrella
Favorite cd
Socks or slippers

If you have any new items that you bought and then decided you didn’t need, and would like to donate for a prize that would be great. We will have a prize area set up.

All balances are due this month. If you want to give them to me next Saturday at the crop that will be fine or you can mail them to me.. Let me know if you need the address. I will be sending out more info closer to the date. If you have questions or think of something that I left off, please let me know.

Thanks,
Lydia
