This past weekend I hosted the Camp'n Crop. We had such a blast. The ladies and I played scrapbooking games and ate some wonderful food. We had snacks to last the entire time, complete with smores, carmel apples, nuts, mints, pnut m&ms, skittles, and the list goes on. I managed to get about 8 pages completed, which I consider remarkable. We also had our technique class in which we learned how to use water color pencils and we did a technique called chalk popping. We had so much fun that I'm considering hosting another crop in January....I feel a frosted crop in the air. Stay tuned for further details.
I also may have the opportunity to host a crop that will benefit the shattered lives program. In case you've never heard about it, the shattered lives program is a program that focuses on showing the pain and devastation that comes as a result of drinking and driving. It is a very moving program. There are teens involved and it's live action with police, fire, and ems responding to a mock accident scene. It goes on to show the hospital and funeral scene. It's a real community effort. The parents of the involved teens acutally have to come up with a mock obituary. The grim reaper actually goes into a classroom and taps the teen and the teen is removed from the classroom and given instrutions to return to the class pretending as if they aren't really there....to see how others respond to the news that their classmate has been killed in a drinking and driving accident. The whole purpose is to raise awareness about the consequences of the choices they make.
