Mid South Scrappers Newsletter # 1 December 1, 2009
Hello Mid South Scrappers!
Welcome to our first-ever newsletter and it is packed with information!
March Pajama Crop Party News! ~
Registrations and deposits have been steadily coming in! ALL the “bed/table to yourself” spaces are SOLD OUT! (That was exciting!) The “shared bed/table” option is filling up very nicely, so much so that there are ONLY 36 places left for this event!
More GREAT Pajama Crop Party News! ~
Glynn and I have discussed the $175 fee ($100 deposit and $75 balance) and have decided to offer splitting this up into three payments in an effort to make this easier at this time of year and economy. You may now register with a $60 deposit and you will have two payments remaining, $60 and $55.
Ideally, you could register the first week of December with your $60 deposit, make your second payment of $60 during the month of January and your balance of $55 in no later than February 26, 2010 as indicated in the brochure. Glynn has already set the buttons on the website for PayPal for those of you that want to use your credit card for each of these three payments.
Three Vendors will be setting up for the Pajama Party! ~
Here’s the line-up of vendors that are committed to the event so far …
Melissa Brazelton/Creative Memories from Olive Branch, MS …
Kristin Taylor/Scrapbook Memory Garden from Sheridan, AR …
Sherae Martin/Scrap Chic from N. Little Rock, AR.
You will be updated as to their email addresses and/or websites as we get a little closer to the weekend for pre-orders, etc.
Gift Certificates Available for the Pajama Crop Party! ~
Since it is Christmastime and some of you might want to get this Pajama Crop Weekend as a Christmas gift, you can drop that little hint along with my name and email address and I’ll be glad to send them a beautiful handmade Gift Certificate just for the occasion! They can pay the event in full or pay the deposit securing your spot and I’ll send them a Gift Certificate in the mail for them to have for you under the tree.
January 16th “All Day and Into the Night Crop” ~
Spots for this crop are also going at a steady rate! The deadline for the $40 fee is January 2, 2010 which is after Christmas, but why risk loosing your spot? Also, you don’t want to forget that I’m offering a $5 rebate for each “new to my event” cropper! Five dollars per new, registered referral can add up pretty quick and I’m sure that everyone knows a cropper or two out there that would be new to me! Plus, if you’re entitled to a “half-price crop” or have a gift certificate for a free one, why not use it now! Please send your gift certificate in with your registration form in substitution of payment. (I need your registration form for claiming your space.)
For those of you that might be interested in driving in for the "All Day and Into the Night Crop", I've worked with my rep at the Hampton and she's really done some negotiating with the management and is giving us a $89 per room, per night rate! These rooms will have two double or queen beds in them so up to four of you could split the cost making it much more affordable. You'll even get breakfast included in your room rate! I've been down there at breakfast time and your selection of hot and cold items are awesome! If you decide that you'd like to come in for the crop and stay overnight, please contact me as soon as possible so we can secure rooms close to the crop room for your convenience. If some of you come in for the crop, I bet we'll crop a little longer!
We’ve got a Blog! ~
I told you we’ve been busy! I haven’t posted much to the Blog yet as I was holding off, waiting for this Newsletter to come out but will begin posting on it later this week.
While the Blog will have information about the Hampton Inn – Olive Branch crops and latest weekend information, it will also contain information about workshops that I will be hosting as well. These workshops will begin in January with the first one being in my mom’s home in Southaven, MS. Pictures of the cards and projects will be posted in January, so you’ll want to stay tuned for that information!
Other information that you’ll want to file in the back of your mind is that there are crops in the works for more locations in the mid-south area! I’ve got a couple of locations in the works for Memphis as well as over in Arkansas. Hopefully one will be scheduled for the Jackson, TN area soon as well!
The Blog address is: http://midsouthscrapperscropsnweekends.blogspot.com/
Mid South Scrappers is on Facebook! ~
I've also got a Mid South Scrappers group set up over on Facebook, so feel free to check that out as well! You might just find some of your old croppin' friends from around the mid-south on there that you'd like to catch back up with!
The Facebook address is:

Please feel free to email me with any questions, suggestions or just a note to say "hi" at:

Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This is your registration form for the Mid South Scrappers (MSS) “All Day and Into the Night Crop” for January 16, 2010. The cost for the crop is $40.00 per person if paid by January 2, 2010 and $45.00 if paid at the door, space permitting. There are 24 spaces to be had at this event! We will have a maximum of three vendors at this event. There are no “write me down’s” due to lack of fulfillment and participation as well as the limited number of spaces available.
Referring New Croppers … How about some rebates! In an effort to really get the word out about these crops and fill the seats so that they can continue, I’d like to offer you a rebate for new event customers! For each new person that you refer, i.e. someone that has never been to one of my events (weekend or crop) and registers to come to a crop, you will receive a $5.00 rebate for each person up to $25.00 per crop towards your next crop fee.
This is an All-Inclusive Crop! Your fee includes all snacks and beverages for the day as well as your lunch and dinner. Beverages that are provided are Coke, Diet Coke, coffee and bottled water. Lunch is Chicken Salad, chips and pickles. Dinner is Mexican Casserole and all the trimmings.
You will have an entire 6 foot x 18 inch table to yourself. (I call these seminar tables.) I strive to sit all croppers within their group. Tables are grouped together in pods of six with four pods in the room. Please note: If you are going to bring your Cricut, Silhouette or other electronic equipment, please bring an extension cord to plug it in. Let me know if you’re planning on bringing something requiring electricity so I can sit you near a plug. You will also need to dedicate a portion of your crop space for it.
New policy from Hampton: Music is no longer allowed to be played in the Meeting Rooms due to hotel rooms being across the hall and next to the Meeting Room(s). If you’d like to bring your radio or Ipod and earplugs, you are welcome to do so.

New Blog for Mid South Scrappers ...
Hello and Welcome to our newest endeavor! I say "our" as my husband is responsible for creating this Blog along with our new website, www.midsouthscrappers.com, which was created almost a month ago. While I'm the dedicated cropper, Glynn is very instrumental in helping me further my goals and aspirations.
I started scrapbooking about 13 years ago and looked forward to the monthly Friday night crops at Georganne's house. However, trying to gear down from the day at work and start cropping found me often having to pack it up and head home when just when I'd really gotten those creative juices flowing. It was out of my desire for the extended crops and weekends that Mid South Scrappers was created and run through Yahoo since October 2006. Since we're located just outside of Memphis, TN and I crop with girls from Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, the name "Mid South Scrappers" seemed to fit the bill.
I've held several all day crops and weekend retreats since the group's formation in October 2006. Our 2010 schedule of events will kick off with an "All Day and Into the Night Crop" held at the Hampton Inn in Olive Branch, MS. Our first weekend retreat will be a "Pajama Crop Party" held at Kirkwood Cottages in Holly Springs, MS the weekend of March 26th.
If you'd like further information for these events, please email me at: terry@midsouthscrappers.com.
I look forward to hearing from other stampers and scrappers around the area!
Happy Fall Y'all!
