This month, Elaine will kindly be doing a demo of the craft-robo!

[toothfairytrace]

oooh - did Santa come early for Elaine!!??

Januray is usually a quiet month for OH - might just see if I can twist his arm to bringing me down for this one!!!

[sharonfruit]

Oooooh, it would be great if you could make it along Tracy :)

Santa did indeed come early for Elaine. She obviously been very good this year :lol:

S xx

[Clay 36]

Oh Tracy, it'd be lovely to finally meet you and thank you in person for all your help. Please, please come along.

[Kat]

Tracy, would be fab if you could make it down!!!

And I think I may just be ready to attend the crop ... but cannot say 100% as I am going to have surgery on the 17th. :o

[sharonfruit]

Don't worry Kat, we can wheel your hospital bed into the hotel ;) I'll bring some grapes for you :lol:

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

hi ladies....how are we all doing?
How about i bring the pudding this month?
Anyone got a perticular fancy...could make a cheesecake? Or carrot cake?

that is unless someone else is doing it for January?

xx

[Kat]

Either would be fine by me, Helen!! ^_^

So sorry you missed out on the home made stollen.... :(

[Helliebabes]

I know......was gutted too! :(
Maybe i should have nicked a wee slice ,aye! :lol: :lol:

Will wait for reat off peeps to reply before deciding.

Hope you have a good xmas Kat! :wub:

[lisawilson]

Hi ladies hope you all had a great time on the 17th. sorry I couldnt make it but we had a great time down in telford and Archie was great for the grandparents :wub: I even woke my mum up phoning at 8.45am and Archie was just getting up then. How come he never sleeps that well for me :blink:

Looking forward to the next crop. elaine - hope you enjoy your secret santa. I meant to put some choccie in it so will bring you a wee bar when I come along to the next one.

Been so busy with the run up to christmas that probably wont get online again before then so I hope everyone has a great christmas and that Santa is good to you all

[madav]

Hope this is okay to post here, but one of my new year resolutions was to get out more! I've decided to pluck up the courage to ask....would it be okay for me to come along to one of the crops? If it is, is there anything I need to know/do/bring (apart from the kitchen sink!). It's about time DH took his turn with the kids and it's about time I had a wee bit space:)

TIA

Av

[Helliebabes]

We always welcome a new face!
Welcome!
I'm sure that i speak for all and say....get yourself along.We are a friendly bunch...always a go laugh and a giggle,Oh...as well as scrapping too!
Just bring what you need to use for you LO's and yourself.

Sharon(fruit) runs the crop...but i'm sure she will be ok with it.
Details are at the first post of this thread.
If you are stuck for directions to Hotel....just let us know.I'm sure i can arrange to meet you at Haymarket train station on the day.

[Kat]

Av,

I am not sure how we are for spaces for the January crop - best to PM either Sharonfruit or Elfin to find out - provided they don't post here... ^_^

[sharonfruit]

Hallo Av!

Of course it's ok for you to come to the crop. I can keep you a space if you want? We are not full for January yet :)

If you've any questions, just ask! One of us will be happy to answer.

Sharon xx

[madav]

Thanks all for replying!:) Yes, I'd like to you keep me a space :). I've never been to a crop before, so be prepared for a lot of questions :). And if it's the Grove Street that has Stampers Grove on the corner - I could find my way there with my eyes shut ;)......

Are there normally a lot of people there (when you say it's not full - how full is that?), is there anything I don't need to bring that I think I should IYKWIM, and you do realise now that I've made my mind up to actually go to a crop it will be cancelled for some obscure reason......(freak of nature, alien invasion, sun burning out......:)).

Av

[sharonfruit]

Hi Av!

It is indeed the Grove Street, which has Stampers Grove on the corner! In fact, the hotel is almost next door. Perfect! :lol:

We can have 16 people at the most, but it generally tends to average out at about 12 people. 12 seems to be the perfect number for everyone and their stash ;)

You don't need to bring masses of stuff - just the basics and stash for whatever you are working on. If you forget anything then we can usually help you out. I forgot my trimmer last month but people kindly let me borrow whenever I needed one :)

I don't care if the sun burns out - we will still crop, chat and eat cake :D

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

Hear,hear Sharon! The world could be ending...but what a great way to go!
Does anybody have any objections to me brining cake this time?
If not...then what type?
Have suggested Cheesecake or carrot cake.Anyone not like either?

Is everyone sorted for santa coming?
Me...i'm all shopped out.Just waiting for the big day!

toodles for now.
xx

[Kat]

Helen - either cake will do ... or both?? :lol: ^_^

Sis and nephew touched down at 6:20pm and had already a great time so far - Ciaran beating DH in Sonic etc :)

Now waiting for my Mutsch to phone (around 11/11:30ish) when she arrives at Haymarket to be picked up, and that's us for Christmas.

Didn't manage to weed the front garden, rake the back garden or bake cookies but got the house tidied and potato salad done which was the priority today.

Pretty sure I will be online at some point before Christmas again... :)

[mariam]

Okay, so I've been in Edinburgh for 5 months and I still haven't made it to a crop! :(

Please keep a spot free for me.

Maria

[sharonfruit]

Maria - it would be fab to meet you :)

Consider a space yours ;)

Sharon xx

[Kat]

Do we still have spaces for January? My adoptee may want to come along ... I've given her the link to our thread and hope she will post herself.. ^_^

[Wishstar]

Hello! Kat's adoptee piping in! I'd love to join you all if you will have me. If it helps, I'm an avid baker and am known for my lovely lemon bars. :)

I've never been to a crop so will need some instructions!

[Wishstar]

PS - This crop is also the day after my 31st birthday so I will have to bring everyone cakes, right? :)

[izzy]

Well done, Kat you have trained her well!! :rolleyes: sorry I will miss the lemon bars but I will have to take my name off as I cant make it this month! :blink:
I am sure you will enjoy it Wishstar - tho you do realise that that they are all mad , dont you? :P :lol:

[Kat]

Sssssshh... Izzy ... I was about to tell Rebecca AFTER she has handed over the lemon bars!!! :lol: :rolleyes:

Rebecca - don't worry - if you survive the crop you will definitely survive the Wolves Family! :lol:

[Helliebabes]

Hi all.....Rebbecca...nice to meet you.Nicer to meet you in person at the crop! :D

Izzy...i don't believe it!! I plan to be there all day and you are not going to be there!!After complaining that i always leave when you get there! :lol:

Thankfully i don't have a lot to do...can get on with my own stuff this time! :D

[sharonfruit]

Hi Rebecca! I've put your name down for a space :D Can't wait to meet you... and your lemon bars :lol:

We've got a good few newbies coming along this month *bounce*

S xx

[elliebaby]

Hello.. I am new to scrapbooking and have been looking for a crop in Edinburgh. I live along the road from the venue and wondered if I could come along.

Sharonfruit please can you pm me with details etc

Thanks
Elaine :D

[Helliebabes]

Hi Elaine(ellibaby)...this is gonna get confusing! :lol:
There is also another Elaine(Elfin).....she mananges the Herald house hotel where we hold the crop.
The details are on the first post of this thread.
I'm sure Sharon will post on here if ther is room...starting to get popular is the Edinburgh crop!! :lol:

Held on the 21st Jan at the herald house hotel...I think it is 11am till 5pm.
All you need to bring is your scrappin' stuff. :D

As you are new i don't know if it was explained,you have to do ,i think it is 10 post's, before you can access Pm status.Keep chatting about and you'll soon mount up those posts! :D

look forward to seeing you all! :D

[elliebaby]

Thanks for the reply. I did not realise about the 10posts rule being new and all that.

I hope it is ok to come along it would be so nice. I will wait to see if Elaine posts to say there is space. I could always be ellie if it is confusing LOL

Thanks again

[sharonfruit]

Hi Elaine

I think we can keep a space for you :lol: I have to admit that I am losing track this month with all the new people ;)

All the details are on the first post of this thread, as Helen said. It is from 11-5 but you can come and go if you please. You don't have to stay all day!

We'll have tea/coffee/cake there. The hotel has a cafe if you want to buy lunch or you can bring your own. Whatever suits really ;)

If you've got anymore questions let me know and I can send you an email or something :)

I look forward to meeting you :D

Sharon xx

[Elfin]

ooh lots of newbies I like it!! Look forward to meeting you all and introducing you to our warped sense of humour. Leave all diets at the door as the cakes are scrummy.

[Wishstar]

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll be sure and bring my scrapin' stuff and as many lemon bars as i can carry. :)

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

(By the way, I have the best adopted mom at UKS...just thought I'd mention that.) ;)

[Kat]

Awh, thanks, Rebecca!!!! :wub:

[elliebaby]

Thanks for the warm welcome

Look forward to meeting like minded people. Will bring my current project which is still in the development stages but hope to get some tips and ideas

See you there

Elaine

[sharonfruit]

You'll get plenty of tips and ideas from us, Elaine! Some on them might even be scrapping related ;)

Wonder if I'll get anything done this month :unsure:

:lol:

Sharon xx

[Wishstar]

how do most of you bring along your stash? I was thinking just a small roller suitcase might be the thing but is that over doing it a bit? How much stuff do you bring along? Should I have some idea of what I want to accomplish before I come???

[Kat]

As discussed via MSN already - just bring your trolley - I got my Crop In Style trolley with me all the time plus probably poly bags... :) Cardstock is essential, as is adhesive - scissors are usually around with those lovely ladies (I forgot mine in December!) as well as pens, eyelets etc.

We're very good at sharing.. :)

[Elfin]

We're very good at sharing.. :)

Share my stash :blink: :blink: you are scaring me Kat! :lol:

[lisawilson]

Hi everyone not been on here for AGES as Archie keeps me very busy although he has started to sleep through ( yipee ) so a bit less tired now. Hope everyone is doing well and cant wait to see everyone on Saturday for lots of nive cakes ( yumm cant wait )

I havent got my piccies developed from crimbo yet so will have to do this next week although back to work on wed ( working wed and fri ) cant belive how quick the last 6 months have went in

anyway will hopefully get some scrapping done before my big move ( 10 feb when I will have my own scrapping room - bout flippin time )

see you all then

Lisa xx

[Helliebabes]

nice to hear from you lisa :D .......How is wee archie doing?He must be getting bigger everyday!I sooooo miss Owen when he was a baby sometimes,but looking at him now.....can't believe how the time has flown! He'll be 3 in July!! :blink: :D
I'm looking forward to the crop myself!
Haven't a clue what i'm going to be doing though...will need to plan soon and get piccies sorted! :blink:

I have 2 small journals to do for b/day gifts for Elsdest niece and mum....so i might do those.
I have a few paint tins to alter & a couple of lunchtins....but i might do those at home as they are too bulky to carry!! :lol:

catch you all this Saturday....and i'm there all day this time! Yay!! :D
DH has taken the day off! :lol:

xx

[Helliebabes]

Oh...and it might be carrot cake i'm bringing.
I seem to have misplaced my recipie for my cheesecake,hopfully i'll find it and be able to make that instead!

[sharonfruit]

Helen - carrot cake sounds good to me. Then again, so do most cakes ;)

Lisa - I look forward to seeing you at the weekend.

I've went and bought us a lovely Melt Pot to play with. Unless I can get some UTEE this week, we'll be forced to use it for chocolate fondue. What a shame :lol:

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

I have some gold UTEE i can give you a wee bit of,sharon?

Looks like it might be carrot cake!!

c u all on Saturday! yay!

[sharonfruit]

Helen - some gold UTEE would be great! Thank you :wub: I'm going to try and get some from SG on Saturday too!

BTW I'm quite happy with whatever cake you decide to make!

I'm looking forward to the crop - might be the only break I get from studying this week :mellow:

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

Oh...poor you!
Well saturday is a day to pamper yourself then!
Talk ,eat and scrap....not neccessarily in that order! :lol:

Have just checked my stash....i have no gold but have some bronze?
Will bring some along anyway! :D

Looking forward to meeting new faces too. :D

xx

[sharonfruit]

Talk ,eat and scrap....not neccessarily in that order! :lol:


How about all at once?! :lol:

Bronze sounds fabby. Not that I have any microscope slides to play with! May have to treat myself this week :)

Sharon xx

[mariam]

Wow... you guys are amazing! I just can't keep up with you! Every time I think "oh, I should see if there is anything going on in the crop chat", there are at least 2 new pages to read! I'm completely confused with the multiple Helens and Elaines, but thanks Sharon for putting up your photo! At least I know I will be able to recognise you now. I can't wait until Saturday... although when I think of the mountainload of work ahead of me before then I feel completely ill! Just too much on at the moment.

Is anyone interested in reading some Australian cropping mags? I have quite a few I can bring on Sat. They are at least twice the size as the ones here with lots of interesting ideas.

I got rid of SOOO much stash moving here and now I'm really kicking myself. But at least I won't have to be a pack horse on Saturday. Stupid me though, the worst thing is I GAVE AWAY my eyelet setter!! How stupid can you get??? :blink: Anyone got one I can borrow on Sat? I'm having eyelet withdrawal symptoms. I want to get one of those "silent" ones but just haven't managed to see one in action yet. Anyone got one?

Oh and if the craft robo thingo goes missing on Sat, it wasn't me, ok? :o

[Elfin]

Maria I'll have my tool kit with me so you are more than welcome to use my eyelet setter.

:nono: re my craft robo. Do i have to frisk you all when you leave? :lol:

[sharonfruit]

Hi Maria!

We are right chatterboxes here :lol: I'd love to see some australian mags if you've got space to bring them along!

I've got both a normal eyelet setter and a silent one, which you are welcome to use :)

Looking forward to meeting you at last!

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

Maria...i think i have an eyelet setter & hole punch set you can have.
I bought them awhile ago then got some spring setters.....so i never use the others. :lol:
Have a hammer too. :D
Will bring them along on saturday.And please bring some mags too......would love to have a wee look! :D

I'm steadily(well...alright,super fast! much to DH's horror!! :lol: ) building up my stash.Such a shame you had to get rid of any. :(

see you Sat

xx

[Helliebabes]

:nono: re my craft robo. Do i have to frisk you all when you leave? :lol:

Like i'm gonna fit it in my bag.......not from the lack of trying i bet!! :lol:

[sharonfruit]

It's not the craft robo I am after - it's the Alfie Cat :lol: Wonder if I can sneak him out on my skirt ;)

Sharon xx

[Elfin]

lol Alfie adores Sharon's black cord skirt. when she was round the other night it took him all of 30 seconds to climb up on it and fall asleep :)

[Helliebabes]

oh...i almost forgot about the new edition to the family!
How is he settling in...well,he already sounds settled!! :lol:

I do hope we get to meet him on saturday...otherwise i shall sulk!

[sharonfruit]

I think we can definately say Alfie is settled :lol: I shall be insisting that Elaine brings the little cutie over too :wub:

Sharon xx

[Elfin]

Alfie will be making a guest appearance. His picture is in my blog if anyone wants a sneak preview :)

[mariam]

Aha, so Alfie is a kitten. Just as well, I was wondering who was climbing up Sharon's skirt! :D He is v cute... I miss my cat! :( Had to leave her behind too :(

Had a look at your blogg Elfin... you like the same TV shows as me. I'm slightly naughy tho... I couldn't wait till next year to see Lost, ER & Grey's Anatomy so I... :nono: and if you want to :nono: too I can burn it for you

Helliebabes, thanks!! That would be GREAT! And I'd love to see all your "silent" setters too... can't believe they will work so easily.

Will bring the mags. Can't wait.

c u soon!

[elliebaby]

Wow sounds like it is going to be a fun day ...with robo's and silent setters...I can't wait to see those toys in action. I would also love a peek at the Australian Mags. Thinking I am going to enjoy this new hobby but there is so much to learn.
Looking forward to meeting everyone..not sure what I need to bring with me tho.

Elaine

[Kat]

Hi Ladies,

hope I feel better on Saturday ... no heavy lifting for me though so will have to check what stash to bring .... that could be a little problem.

Looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting all the newbies - specially my Adoptee Becca!! ;)

[Elfin]

Ellie,

Just bring your tools and what you want to work on. That will at least get you started :D

Maria,

I have watched lost series two up to episode 9 but have not seen any of the new ER or Greys Anatomy.

I look forward to meeting you both on Saturday.

Elaine
x

[elliebaby]

Thanks Maria will bring something to work on. My hubby is my craft robo LOL so can't bring him but will get him to cut me some layers and photos. I can't cut a straight line to save my self. Leaving him at home working on my new hobby area. It is looking good so far.

Kat hope you are ok for Sat

Second series of lost is so much better we have seen up to ep7 I think

Chat to you all on Sat

Elaine

[Helliebabes]

Hey whats this i hear about you guys watching new episodes of Lost & greys annatomy???
No fair! I wanna watch them too....*sulking now*.
Does that mean i can grill you guys on whats new??

Well have got all the ingredients for the carrot cake.....how many are we expecting this saturday Sharon.Just so i can decide on how big the cake is going to be.Whether it be large or small?

toodles for now
xx

[Helliebabes]

Oh one more thing....does anyone have any of this paper.
It's the bottom rose one i'm after or anything like it?

I'll happily pay for it or swap some stash for it?
I only have this little 6 x 6 piece and was wanting more....can anyone help?

thanks
xx

[Clay 36]

Kat, hope everything went well :wub: and remember that's what you have Doug for :lol: , all that heavy lifting and things. Would have offered to help but we're not going to be there Saturday. Faith says to look after yourself and we'll see you soon. Enjoy.

[sharonfruit]

Helen - I don't have any of that paper, sorry :( I hate it when you get one sheet of something and then you never see it again!

We are expecting about 12 people according to my list. That's the number who have confirmed anyway :)

Kat - you don't need stash! We never get any scrapping done anyway :lol:

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

Thanks for letting me know sharon. :D
Someone on Uks said she had some and was sending them.....but that was a week ago. :mellow:
Another member sent me the one on the top of the pic.....have plenty of that now. :D
Looks like i'll have to look for something else. :o had it all planned out too!
Oh,well.Back to the drawing board! :lol: :lol:

Looks like i'll be making a fairly large cake then!! :lol:

xx

[Kat]

was up and about and did some washing up this morning... not a good idea. Still feeling drowsy and dizzy from standing up ... will retire to bed again for the rest of the day ... hope tomorrow is better.

Heather - Doug won't be available for the lifting etc - unfortunately he has an implementation at work so won't be able to give me a lift... :( We'll see how I feel and what I will be able to carry about ....

[sharonfruit]

Kat - you take it easy or I'll be round there to look after you, young lady ;)

Don't worry Elaine and I will come and carry all your bags to the crop. Won't we, Elaine? :lol:

Sharon xx

[Elfin]

lol sod that I'll be too busy setting up the room for you all, what do you think I do between 10.15am and crop time?? :blink: :lol: Kat you can share my tools etc and I'll have all my sizzix dies. Just bring your papers, glues and photos. If you pick out your embellies beforehand as well. Or you could just bring yourself and blether all day :)

[sharonfruit]

lol sod that I'll be too busy setting up the room for you all, what do you think I do between 10.15am and crop time?? :blink: :lol:

Stand and talk to me while ordering minions about :lol:

Elaine's right! Just bring the bare essentials and we'll cobble together the rest for you.

Sharon xx

[Clay 36]

Kat, be careful. We wouldn't want anything to happen to you. Sharon will be round with the big stick if you don't do what she says mind :lol: .

[sharonfruit]

Sharon will be round with the big stick if you don't do what she says mind :lol: .

Hey, that's my Graeme you're talking about ;) It's a pretty apt description actually :lol:

Sharon xx

[Clay 36]

As if I would say such a thing about Buttons - Faith refuses to call him anything else now! :lol:

[sharonfruit]

Awww, I'm sure "Buttons" will be pleased to hear that :lol:

[sharonfruit]

Crop day tomorrow! Can't believe how quick it has come around again :)

I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

Cake is baking as we speak.....lets hope it turns out well!! fingers crossed. :lol:

[Wishstar]

Kat, not sure if you'll check this before you head off but I'm happy to give you a lift if you want one! I'm online now for a bit before I head off but I'll PM you my number. See you all there! :)

[Elfin]

[Elfin]

A big wave and thank you to Becca, Maria and Elaine for coming along today and joining us regular croppers it was lovely to meet you. Hope you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to seeing you again next month :)

Helen thank you for your Carrot cake it was soooooooo scrummy. Becca the other two cakes were lovely too according to my OH :)

Becca, thanks soooo much for giving me a lift home - will see you tomorrow at 2:30pm.

The cakes were really nice and the tray bakes...well done Helen and Becca.

Glad the paper copied ok Helen...know we are not supposed to copy stuff :nono: but when it can't be found anywhere and it is a last resort and is not for resale well what can a gal do!!!

Thanks again it was nice to meet you all and I look forward to the next time.

Elaine

[izzy]

Helen - the first time you manage a full day and I am not there! We will need to get better organised! :P

[izzy]

AWWW! my feelings is hurt! :blink:

[Elfin]

AWWW! my feelings is hurt! :blink:


If I believed that I'd give you sympathy Izzy :P

[**Maria**]

How often do you run your fantabulous crops - I'm heading your way in the summer and might be able to squeeze a visit in.

[mumof4boys]

was thinking the same maria :)

[**Maria**]

Sorry should have said I'd be up in June and August :)

[Elfin]

Yaaaaay come pay us a visit. We hold them on the third saturday of every month Maria. Although we currently hold them in the hotel we are looking for a bigger venue so we can cater for everyone who wants to attend. Hope to see you at one of them soon.

[izzy]

Hi maria
they are held on the 3rd Sat of the month! I cant get to everyone of them but I do know that there is always some delish baking there as well as good fun

[**Maria**]

Thansk to everyone for a great day out yesterday! I can't believe how fast the time flies when you're at a crop! Thanks to everyone for making my first one so enjoyable. What a great bunch of ladies you are. I had so much fun!!:)

And a special thanks to everyone who put up with my endless questions....I learned so much from you all! Hubby was most impressed by my distressed tags. And I'm almost over the trauma of the paper tearing - almost. :)

Can't wait to see you all next month again!!!
