Thanks Croppers!

The Real Women Crop Event was a lot of fun! Thanks to all the croppers and vendors for making it a great day!! With the cold snow outside it was a perfect day to be inside with our warm memories. We had a full house with 118 croppers in attendance and 6 vendors on site.

There was a lot of work going on but also a lot of laughter, chatting, shopping, and WINNING!!! Everyone was a winner of a small goody with our lottery, lots were winners of a little something with our "scrap-o", and some lucky ladies won fabulous prizes donated by the Divas, vendors, and others in the industry.

The next Diva Designs crop will be July 26th & 27th in Lawrence, Kansas. We will post information on the site very soon. In the mean time, check out those calendars and start making plans with buddies to join us for a fabulous 36 hour event!

We want to give a big thank you to everyone who attended the Mission Impossible Crop on January 19th and 20th! It was a lot of fun for us and we hope it was for all of you as well. We were surprised and happy to have over 25 people still cropping at our 4 am prize drawing - although that number dropped by about 20 shortly AFTER the prize drawing! We would like to say "atta girl" to those crazy few of you who did not stop cropping to sleep at all!!! It might take a week or so to catch up on all that missed sleep but I imagine we will all be ready to do it again by the time April's 36 hour event rolls around! Congratulations to all who won prizes and contests and to Kim Crouse for successfully trading prizes to get her beloved Photo-opoly game!! Hope to see you all in April and Thanks again!!!!

Enjoy a fun and creative atmosphere

Our first ever 36 hour crop has come and gone and we would like to thank all of you who participated, croppers and vendors alike. There were a little more than a dozen die hard croppers who survived the entire event without any, or only very little sleep. It was great to see people taking advantage of the very extended hours offered!

We had a lot of fun and, based on the feedback from cropper surveys, those in attendance did too. We continue to review surveys and comments received and will use that information to build upon the success we have enjoyed with our crops so far.

We would like to acknowledge our vendors and donors as an additional thank you for their participation. Please take a moment to visit their sites and see what they have to offer. Be sure to let them know you saw their link on the Diva Designs site.
