• 10. Unwanted Scrapbook Supplies - We usually have a give and take table set up so you can give away supplies you don't want and take away supplies you do want. It is a good way to lighten your bag! The rule for supplies is much like that of clothes... if you haven't used it in a year, you probably won't!

• 9. A Covered Mug - We generally have a social hour with cash bar in the evenings but you might get thirsty before then so bring a covered mug... no one wants a spill to ruin a layout or pictures! We will provide free morning coffee and a water station throughout the day so you can put your mug to use with those items or bring your own favorite beverage to fill it with.

• 8. Snacks - Cropping, shopping, and talking can really work up an appetite! The Divas will provide a little something sweet at your table but you may want more than we can supply! Feel free to bring your own snacks or even meals if you don't want to lose any precious cropping time to go out and grab something.

• 7. Tools and Supplies - Although you would probably be able to find a vendor who sells just about every tool you could imagine it would be a good idea to pack your "gotta have tools" like your favorite trimmer and adhesives. However, it is a good idea to coordinate what you bring with your friends to save space…three Cricuts might not be necessary! Speaking of Cricuts, if you need electricity at an event, be sure to request it when you register and bring your own extension cord.

• 6. Your Frequent Cropper Card - Don't forget your card! Remember you get your card validated for each crop you attend and after 4 validations it is worth Five Diva Dollars which can be redeemed at the Diva booth for products or used towards crop registrations. If you attend both days of any two day event you receive two validations. Cards must be validated at the time of the event.

• 5. Your Diva Designs Apparel - If you attend our crop wearing a Diva Designs shirt, you can enter a special prize drawing! If you buy a shirt at the event you will be eligible to enter as well.

• 4. Layers - Regardless of where the event is held or what time of year it is, the temperature in the room is always the exact opposite of what you dress for! We suggest that you dress in layers or bring a jacket or sweatshirt with you to help you stay comfortable throughout the crop. Remember, there are sometimes 200 women at these events - it is next to impossible to regulate the temperature in the room to make everyone comfortable at the same time. At past events we have tried, and been met with steely glares from the maintenance person after about the 4th request to turn the air up or down!

• 3. Your Favorite Credit Card or Your Secret Cash Stash - There will be fabulous vendors on site for all of your scrapbooking and shopping needs! If you use all your favorite adhesive or need just one more piece of avocado green Bazzill cardstock, you are sure to be able to find it around the perimeter of the room at one of their booths. Our vendors are also very creative and can help you get over your "scrapper's block" or provide great tips and ideas on how to make your page or project one to be proud of! You might also want to take advantage of our on site massage therapist for just a dollar a minute. Please be aware that not all of our vendors accept credit or debit cards so having some good old fashioned checks or cash is a good idea.

• 2. Lots to Work On - With 15 or 36 hours of uninterrupted cropping time you are sure to get lots done. We have had croppers who got so much done that they had to go home and get more photos to work with!

And the number one thing to bring to a Diva Designs crop is...

• 1. Your Friends! - This is the perfect time to plan a day out with your girlfriends. While working on your scrap books you can enjoy each others company, catch up on the latest news, trade stories about those crazy loved ones in your lives, and even have a drink together at the cash bar.
