In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole and Lisa finally meet in person for the first time at the ScrapRoom Crop, and we’re putting our bold idea to the test: Are scrapbooking crops more about the people than the layouts? We share our first impressions of each other, talk through the fun, connection, and community that make crop weekends so special, and even revisit a past crop horror story involving a haunted hotel. We discuss what we love to bring to a crop, what we always forget to pack, and whether we come to be productive or to connect with other scrapbookers. We also sit down with Rochelle, owner of The ScrapRoom kit club, to get an inside perspective on hosting a scrapbooking crop, running a scrapbook business in today’s online world, and why her event only happens once a year. Plus, we hit the crop floor for “street style” interviews with fellow scrappers about what they’re working on, how much they’ve accomplished, and why they keep coming back. If you love scrapbooking retreats, crop events, scrapbook kit clubs, and the creative community that surrounds this hobby, this chaotic and heartfelt episode is for you.
