Our Annual Crop

Mark Your Calendars/ Save The Date!!

Our 5th Annual Weekend Getaway Crop is set for April 17- 19, 2009! It's at the Hampton Inn in Clinton, NJ. Right next to Cracker Barrel and Walmart! It's going to be a fun filled weekend- lots of exciting things to do to celebrate the 5th year of doing these crops! The weekend includes:

Your crop space.. 6 ft table for yourself!

Cropping from 5pm on Friday- 5pm on Sunday! (I'm working on getting into the crop room earlier than 5pm on Friday for those that want a head start.)

Dinner- Friday night, lunch & dinner on Saturday and brunch on Sunday!

Goodie bags, snacks and drinks, giveaways, raffles, use of the Cricut and our non-consumable tool table PLUS a layout & technique class taught by Kelli!

Of couse we'll have vendors as well (CM, Breezy Designs- used to be TLC, CTMH and of course, Pieces of Time)!

This weekend is only going to be $160 per person- which is less than last year! A $50 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required to hold your space.

Be sure to call the hotel and reserve your room. Rooms are $99/room plus tax per night. Make sure to mention Pieces of Time when you reserve your room to get the special price! Continental breakfast and Internet is included in the price of the hotel!

Be sure to look for us on Facebook! Pieces of Time Scrapbooking!

A fellow scrapper is looking for a quote that will work with pictures she has. The pictures she has are of her son and daughters. Anyone have a good quote about sisters & brothers? If so, please post it here!

Are you Watching?

Are you watching the Inauguration of Barak Obama? What do you think? I'm thinking I'm glad I'm watching from the warmth of my job.

I want to see if you have an patriotic layouts. Everyone who submits I'll put your name in a hat and pick a winner and send something to you. An extra entry if you are able to incorporate the Inaugurartion into it. Be sure to tell your friends!

When you have your layout go to http://www.piecesoftime.yuku.com/ and go under the scrapbooking section and you'll see a spot to upload your layouts.

Simple Scrapbooks says Goodbye... :(

I hate that the economy is hitting so many people! Simple Scrapbooks was a favorite of mine.

The Official Announcement Loyal readers and contributors,I am saddened to share that, due to difficult conditions in both the economy and the publishing market, the May/June 2009 issue of Simple Scrapbooks magazine (on sale April 14) will be its last. Since its founding in 2002, Simple Scrapbooks has been simplifying the process of scrapbooking for tens of thousands of scrapbookers worldwide, providing solutions that keep them engaged in and passionate about sharing their stories and memories. The end of Simple Scrapbooks as a magazine is not the end of this message. It will continue as part of Creating Keepsakes magazine, where, starting with the July 2009 issue, we will integrate Simple concepts and personalities into our editorial mix, and continue providing ideas and inspiration to help beginning and experienced scrapbookers alike fit scrapbooking into their busy lives. Implementing these editorial changes does not mean Creating Keepsakes readers will lose the content they know and love. It only means that the magazine will be further enriched by the Simple Scrapbooks approach—the best of both worlds in one publication! With 75% of readers subscribing to both publications, CK Media feels this change will also benefit subscribers who are feeling the current economic hardships. All current Simple Scrapbooks subscriptions will be honored through the May/June 2009 issue, at which point any remaining issues will be fulfilled by Creating Keepsakes magazine, beginning with the July 2009 issue. If you are already a subscriber to Creating Keepsakes, your subscription will be extended accordingly. Any questions regarding submissions can be directed to http://us.mc625.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=simplescrapbooks%40emailcustomerservice.com or by calling 866/334-8149.Thank you for your loyalty and support. We have enjoyed our association with you, our loyal readers, and look forward to continuing it as part of the Creating Keepsakes family. Sincerely, Lin Sorenson VP/Editorial DirectorCK Media
