Crop Out of Style

I'm going to a crop tonight. This is going to prove to be quite a challenge for me. The last time I went to one, everything I owned fit into my Crop in Style XXL. Everything I own now doesn't even fit in one room.

I did discover, however, that my new sewing machine fits quite nicely in the XXL. As long as I don't really bring anything else.

So, I think I'm going to work on page kit examples for the store, since I can't really use anything that's not in the kit, I won't have to bring my entire house along for those. And my Croppin' Paradise DT stuff, which is going to be a little more challenging, but I figure I can finish at home later if need be. And, finally end of year teacher gifts. I just decided this morning that I'm going to make little accordian albums. Ideally, I'd go take pictures and put those in there, but I can't really think of an easy way to take pictures of 4th graders without being detected/arrested. So, the teachers will have to do that part themselves. What if they don't take pictures? I guess that means they don't want to remember the little brats they taught this year, right?

So, what do you think? 3" albums? 4"? Maybe 4. 4" seems like a good idea. Then I can make 1 from each 12x12 paper. I need 9 of them. Maybe I should start with a cardstock base and then decorate? I figured I'd do patterned paper. Wonder do I have that much 2 sided paper. Hmmm. Surely I do.

I know what you're thinking. Just buy the stuff at the crop. I wish. I pretty much already own everything that store has that I want, and even some stuff I really didn't.

Hopefully I will figure it out. Oh, and I just remembered, I have to bring a dish to share. Guess I better go figure that out, too.

The accordian albums sound cute. I bet the teacher already has pics of the kids throughout the year.
