Winter Crop

I had such a great time at the Winter crop I hosted today!!!!

I hope everyone else did as well.

Not that I got a lot done, but I really enjoyed spending time with my friends….which is my whole purpose of hosting these

But if I get some creating done…bonus ;)

I didn't get around to putting together treat bags for my friends, so I made them all bone folders :)
I took a wood stick (about the size of a tongue depressor) and cut the end to the shape of a bone folder and then sanded it down.
I then punched a hole at the other end with my Crop A Dile and threaded some twine through it with a jewel on the end.

I was thinking of painting the wood, but then thought the paint would transfer on the paper when it was used.
I then thought I would stamp the recipients names or initials on the end, but the wood didn't take the stamp very well.
Lastly I thought of inking the jewel with alcohol ink to add some colour.
But then I though, just keep it simple…which is hard to do sometimes ;)

What else do we do at a crop besides creating and spending time with friends…eat of course, teehee.

I made some finger sandwiches and some veggies and dip. 

Myra brought some cupcakes, as I forgot ;)

For supper we all pitched in for some pizza and wings, as well as a yummy salad made by Verna :)

Thank you to all of my friends who were able to come to my crop today…because of you, you made my day a really good one….Thank you.
I hope you all enjoyed a very Creative Saturday :)
