Scrap Question of the Day - 03/23/2023

[tammyfolk]

For you ladies that scrap places other than your home-

Do you have just one bag of scrapbook essentials or do you have a duplicate bag to grab and go?

[tammyfolk]

I haven't scrapped anywhere else other than home in a really, really long time, so no bag for me. I just start scrambling for things to take with me hoping I'll be somewhat productive.

[Deanna13]

I've never scrapped anywhere but home. I really don't know of any crop places locally.

[Tracy F]

I haven't scrapped anywhere but home in many, many years. But when I, did I just packed what I thought I would need each time.

[Jan Mosier]

Jan plays better by herself.....just ask her mother.

I haven't scrapped anywhere but home in years. If and when I ever do, I too would be scrambling to gather supplies and would probably over pack. I have only scrapped from home a couple of times in the 20 plus years I've been scrapbooking and each time I got nothing done.

I make up kits and have them in some expandable files so that I am ready to go at all times even if it is just home and I feel like doing a quick project. When I go, I grab that and a small bag of supplies and I'm off. The crops that I have started going to here in NC crack me up. There are ladies that bring their entire scrap room. Plus I have the bonus of going home from these retreats to sleep so I take all my finished projects home each day and bring back anything I need for the next day. At the end of the retreat, I have only half of the stuff I started with. After the retreats, I spend a few more days replenishing the kits.

Ive just started going to crops again, but only once, maybe twice a year. I don’t have spare supplies, just back up what I think I’ll need for the retreat!

Since I am actually leaving for one in a couple of hours....this is what I did. Today we are making a junk journal and they listed things that you would need like, two sided tape, etc. I do have a separate bag with supplies to grab and go (I have duplicate tools) so I can only take one bag today. Tomorrow I will have a different set of tools that I take and since we do projects there I don't take a lot of extra. I rarely have extra time since I am the photographer that keeps up their facebook page as we go. I have table gifts and goodies to bring but I think this time I won't need my bag on wheels. I have it down to two bags. I also do what Patti does, come home each night and get what I need for the next day and leave projects at home that are finished.
I usually go to four or five retreats a year. This year I am also doing two virtual retreats in addition to that.
I'm sad you guys don't get away often. I may have to crash at Jan's sometime so I can bug her and let her know she doesn't have to scrap alone!

I usually just take my basic bag with my tools and then scramble to bring photos and paper kits that could match.

If you don't mind crashing with the dogs, come on!
