Crop and Cruise HAWAII

in November 2012 is getting SUPER exciting!!!  We already have just under 40 people from all across Canada planning to come and it is going to be a seriously HOT TROPICAL PARTY!!!

And guess who our 

FEATURED INSTRUCTORS

are going to be????

If you don't already know, I'll give you a hint (if you already know... shhhhh just for awhile to let some others have fun guessing :)   

All I can say is this next Crop and Cruise I get to plark (AKA "Work and Play, but more play than work") with my dream team in Hawaii!!!  These ladies are not only seriously talented, artistic and  internationally experienced teachers, but splendiferously FUN to hang with as well!!!!

And we would love it if you joined us!!!!

It's turning into a PARTY!!!!

It's still over a year away and we already have 30 people registered to come with us to Hawaii in November 2012 on our next Crop and Cruise scrapbooking and photography event!!!

IF you are thinking of joining us, we strongly recommend that you register sooner than later as space in portions of the event are limited (and certain rooms/cabins fill up quickly like triple and quad occupancy). 

 Also, the sooner you register, the greater chance of being able to take advantage of PROMOTIONS that come along (like right now you can get up to $250 in cabin credits, but only until the end of October!!)

Now to completely switch directions...

Be sure to watch Breakfast Television on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 7:50am for a fun Halloween crafting segment with my good friends Christine Collier and Christy Riopel!!  We are gathering some super fun ideas... I've caved and joined Pinterest and WOW!!!  I can totally see how addicting it can/will be, but it is a huge resource for ideas like these super cute and easy candles and check this out... 

What a great arrangment with some BLING!!!!  Just click on the picture to go to the websites for instructions!!

And be sure to watch on Thursday for more fun ideas!!!

I know it's still summer time, but I'm dreaming about Crop and Cruise Hawaii in the winter of 2012!!!!

I just met with Corlann, our travel agent from KeyWorld Travel and we spent several hours working out a ton of hot tropical ideas for this event!!!  

Remember that there are TWO parts... a land event which will take place at a beautiful resort in Oauhu right along the beach...

And the following week will be an island-hopping cruise visiting 4 different Hawaiin islands and 5 beautiful beaches!!!!

Because we are going to be at port a fair bit on this cruise (almost 100 hours!), we are making sure that our crop room has HUGE windows to enjoy the view while on board :)

Can't you just imagine crafting in that room with friends and some of Canada's TOP instructors!!!

Be sure to watch the Crop and Cruise website over the next few weeks for more and more information!!!  Remember, you can take part in the LAND only or the CRUISE only or BOTH!!!!  It's up to you :)

Start saving and planning NOW to join us!!!!
