I have a crop Fri-Sat-Sun and I really need to be making kits.

Actually, I need to clean my desk and make kits. I have no motivation. Someone kick my butt, otherwise I am going to have to bring my entire crap room because I won't know what to bring and I am not sure that will fit in my husbands wagon. 

GET TO MAKING KITS!! RIGHT NOW!!!

(how was that? )


Have fun at the crop!!

That was fantastic. Thanks. I *am* finally moving. 

Yay! I'm not so good at kicking butts, so I'm glad Christine answered first.

Better get moving! and have fun at your crop!

I am such a last minute packer, too, but just think of how much lighter your load will be if you PACK NOW!  You can do it!!!

Glad you are starting your kits. The last big crop I went to I was so unorganized. I took my scraproom with me and didn't use but 1\4 of it.  

That was a great mom voice, Christine!  She still isn't listening though!  LOL

I have never been to a crop so I can't help, I clicked in here cuz I thought you were talking about the kit for Sara's NSD challenge. I am having a hard time pulling just that one together.

That's ok.  I'm not a mom, I just have a cat. She doesn't listen to me either.  Haha! 

FUN!!!!I just came back from a weekend crop. AMAZING time!!!!!!! I hope you get your kits made in time. I fly by the seat of my pants which is ok for me. I got 15 pages done last weekend and no kits were made ahead of time. Someday MAYBE I will do that.

I hope you have a wonderful time.

I am terrible at making kits and packing for crops. I guess it is a blessing in disguise that I haven't been to a crop in about four years. 

I hope you have a great time!! 

I am going to help you out here. I used to go to a ton of weekend crops when I lived in Pennsylvania. Out here they pretty much don't exist. I never planned ahead and usually wound up taking pretty much my whole craft room. I would fill my entire Honda Odyssey! Then I would spend so much of my time finding my stuff in my bins and bags and boxes. At the end I didn't get anywhere near as much done as I could have. One of the people I went with did kits. She never did less than two to three times as many pages as me. Si, go make your kits! You will feel much better and be more together in the end!

This is so true!! All the time spent going through your stash now is the same amount of time you'll spend digging through your stash at the crop, maybe more since it won't be in it's normal spot.  Never mind the time and energy that will be spent moving it all.  I used to drag everything but now I do some pre-planning and it's easier to set up and I am so much more productive.

LOL OK so funny--I have a Honda Odyssey and I am bummed I can't take it I have to take my husbands wagon which doesn't have the same amount of space hehe

I made 1.5 kits before bed (better than nothing) but I will do more today. However, I just found out the rental company needs to have an apprasil done on the house for insurance and of course I now have to make sure that the house perfect by Thursday night. 

I'm learning to make kits before I go from past experience of not taking enough and then spending too much money buying new stuff that I knew I already had at home! Venders there are nice but it stinks to know you have an embelli, color of paper, etc too far away, you just didn't think about it looking good for those pics! So, grab a few pics...get started on those kits. Don't worry about your desk so much..you'll need to unpack and straighten more when you get home! Enjoy...I love crops, wish I could go to more of them.

Good for you!

One of the advantages of the NSD ACOT crop is you don't need to pack up your car!
