Tips for Hosting a Scrapbooking Crop
Are you planning on hosting a scrapbooking crop? If so, you’re in for a world of fun! Scrapbooking is a fun and creative hobby enjoyed by millions worldwide, and a crop is a great way to get experienced and novice scrappers together to share scrapbook paper, get new pointers, and to create some great new pages and books. But as much as it is, there are some important things to remember when hosting a scrapbooking crop.
Your scrapbookers are going to need something more to do than just creating page layouts all weekends, even if they are the most diehard scrappers.When you host a scrapbooking crop, be sure to also provide other activities for the scrapbookers,or invite instructors or independent scrapbooking consultants to show new products or techniques. This means that the attendees won’t be drained from trying to create new pages and books for hours and hours at end and can get a rest from all the activity.
If you’re hosting a scrapbooking crop and want to provide an instructor make sure he or she is very experienced with both scrapbooking and in presenting as well. Some people are very good at the hobby but not very good at instructing others! It’s awful for someone to be hit with stage fright when they’re just trying to share tips on such a great hobby, and of course everyone will then turn to the person that is hosting the scrapbooking crop to get things rolling again.
Demonstrating new products is also fun when hosting a scrapbooking crop but make sure you’re not hiding a sales presentation as an actual crop. Those who attend will expect to be able to create pages and maybe even an entire book while they’re there and they will need time and space to do just that. And make sure everyone can get something to eat and drink as well! If you’re hosting a scrapbooking crop that is just one day you can usually provide a boxed or catered lunch; if this is a weekend affair you’ll need to talk to the hotel or someone else about catering different meals or let your attendees know what restaurants are in the area. If you keep these points in mind when hosting a scrapbooking crop you’re sure to have a great time that is fun and enjoyable for everyone in attendance, and don’t forget to share your ideas for scrapbooking crafts.
