How much for a weekend crop??

23 years ago

Hi everyone. I attended a crop in November and the people who had that one are having another one in April, but this time the price has gone up a lot. Can anyone tell me how much you've paid to go? It includes Saturday 9am to midnight, 3 classes (taught by people who attend), lunch, and Sunday 9am to 6pm. TIA Tammy

Hi Tammy.

I tried to post before, but I kept getting sent to Disney. I wonder why?

In our area, this year's weekend crop is $85....a $35 increase over last year's event.

I don't think I will be going this year.

Just wanted to let you know.

Green Manure: How hard are cover crops to kill in Spring?

I use winter rye each year and I believe it is essential for the way I garden. I can't speak for hairy vetch. I throw down the seed about this time, (already down) and in the spring, depending how high it gets, I either mow it and till it in or just till it in. Depending on how much labor you plan to use, you might just be able to turn it over with a spade. But I suspect that 625 square feet might be alot to do. Some have said that cutting it close with a mower is enough, but I feel working it in the soil is a must. It can be a tough grass to kill sometimes. I think a few on this board will chime in on a no-till method for you. Good luck!

Didn't garden much this weekend, but...

Irene - we started doing these floor primarily because we were having terrible breathing problems. Did the family room first because it was always full of dog and cat hair in addition to dust. Then did the master bedroom so we could breath easier at night. That made an amazing difference in our health! I can't believe I didn't do it 7 years sooner. (Well OK, it took me that long to save up for the wood!). Once you start looking at the wood floors in one room, it's hard to face carpets! So this summer we skipped a vacation and did this floor instead. Tony - you asked how the installation was? It was hard work! This might have been pretty easy when I was 20 or even 30, but at 50+ it's a pain in many many body parts. It's not technically challenging but by the time you are 1/2 way done the knees are shot and the hands/wrists are in bad shape. Everything gets glued down with a very thick adhesive that gets troweled on. Today I kept getting muscle cramps in my arms! At the end of the day when I came home, walked in the front door and saw this floor, I knew it was worth it. Wish I had enough bamboo left over to do the office...

To Crop or Not to Crop. . .That is the Question
Q
Comments (15)
My husband was just reading over my shoulder and said, "These women are all full of crop!" Can you believe it? He was being silly, of course. (Read his statement carefully- there are no typos.) It was a pun, a joke, a hehe-haha kind of thing- please don't write me nasty letters! LOL Anyway, Carla, you are right. As a beginner, I was thrilled to hear all these responses from the seasoned professionals. Boy, oh boy, Mar, are YOU a professional or what?! :) I think the best suggestion is getting double prints of all your pictures, then label the envelopes and save them in tact. That way, you have a set to keep all those other "background object" memories and focus your scrapbooking on the focal points of the photots. You could even indicate on the envelopes which scrapbook page(s) used that particular set of pictures. So if you screw up when cutting, or want several copies of the picture on one page, or want to do a whole page over, you can just pull out the right pack of pictures, grab the negative, get a copy made for a quarter (that's all it costs at my grocery store) and voila! Easy organization, too, for when you want to see ALL the pictures from Christmas '99 for example, not just the few you selected for the pages. I love reading these posts. I just went to a craft store and spent *ahem* dollars on supplies. I haven't completed a full page yet and I'm addicted already! I think I'm in big trouble, don't you? Thanks for all the wonderful input so far- can't wait to read the new stuff, too!

Oak seedlings from last fall's acorn crop--how to remove easily
Q
Comments (4)
Oh Ginny! I feel your pain. We had a bumper crop and a whole new oak forest was growing in our back gardens. I got to the perennial beds really early in the season and raked out and picked out all sprouted acorns, but we still have hundreds in other beds. It's insane! Barb had told me about the pliers and I have used that for a number of years now. (Thank you Barb!) My DH went ahead and weed whacked all the seedlings in the way back. it was a very large area with hundreds of seedlings. We figured he'll just have to keep up on it and we hope it will work. I can't imagine pulling them all by hand. It really was a bumper year. Good luck!!

Tammy. Are you in PA? I am in central PA. I got a notice from our scrapbook store about a weekend crop at the Bryce Jordan Center. It was $85. I am not exactly sure what goes on but it sounds like fun. Is $85 worth it? Heidi B.

Hi Heidi. I live around Altoona. I'm was talking about a crop at the Bryce Jordan Center too. But this one was $55. When I went in the fall, it was only $10. I would really like to go but because I try to limit myself to only so much a month on scrapbooking, I don't want to spend that much money. When my friend and I went in the fall we had a great time. Got to meet other scrappers and the door prizes where wonderful. Is the crop being put on by Scrapfanatics? Tammy

Our scrapbook store started a "summit" last year that was Friday/Sat/Sun at an Inn the Berkshires in the far NW corner of Connecticut. 136 spots sold out in 2 weeks and people came from NY, MA,RI, as well as all parts of CT. We paid $129 per person per night which included 3 full meals each day of fantastic foods, snacks and homemade cookies all day, and beverages available too all day. There were classes all day Saturday which cost $15 extra per each. Great give aways and a beautiful location!!! They are doing it again this Spring and expect another quick sellout. I'll be there with my group!!!

Tammy, Oops, I must have looked at the post above mine and got $85 stuck in my head. And I posted $85 TWICE in my message. You are right, it is $55. I have been scrapbooking since 95, and I wish I'd have known about the one last Fall. I live on the other side of Philipsburg. I am the only person I know who scrapbooks in my area. What was involved in last year's event? Was it mostly vendors selling things? Did you learn anything great that you wouldn't have learned online or in a magazine? It sure sound like fun though. :) Heidi B. in PA

Heidi, It was more like a crop I guess.(I haven't been to a crop) They offered 2 classes, but they were given by other people who attended to workshop. There were no vendors there. It was nice to look at other people's books to get idea that I hadn't seen or thought of. We were able to go to the LSS and received a percentage off our total bill, which was nice. The only way I found out about the one in the fall was because I had gone to the LSS and saw a flyer there. How far is Philipsburg from Altoona? Tammy

I've gone to several here in Oklahoma. They last from 5:00pm Friday night until 6:00pm Saturday night. You have a hotel room that you share with one or two other people (it's your choice whether to sleep or not), everyone crops in a banquet type room with their own 6ft. table, meals are on your own, and it costs $35.00.

Hi Heidi and Tammy,

Im new to scrapbooking and love it!!!!! Any clubs you know of in this area. Philipsburg is about a 45 min drive from Altoona if we find a class Heidi can join us.
