Croppin' Train Virtual Scrapbook Retreat

 

Croppin’ Train Scrapbook Retreats invites you to join us on our first **VIRTUAL TRAIN EXCURSION**!

 Sit back, relax, enjoy the scenery, and scrapbook with us!

 We will be pulling out of Chicago’s Union Station on Thursday, November 11, 2021, travel through the Badlands of the Dakotas, view the majesty of Glacier National Park in Montana, and enjoy a coastline sunset in the state of Washington.

Each day of the 5-day virtual trip will highlight a different area of this scenic historical part of the U.S.  Accompanying this trip will be projects related to, or inspired by, each day’s featured area, but will be applicable to any scrapbook layout you choose.  In addition to the individual projects, there will be a mini album for you to assemble. 

***

 **PROJECTS**

 Mini Album

 2-page layout with vibrant colors and lots of texture

 2-page layout using a waterfall technique

 2-page sunset themed layout featuring mosaic scrapbooking

Complements specific to your “home state” (where you were born, where you live, etc. – whatever you consider your “home state”).  Project contents will include a state title, facts about your state, and embellishments related to your state.  (State name must be included with registration information.)

 ***

 Once you purchase your ticket for our Virtual Train Excursion, you will be added to a private Facebook Group.  Within this group, we will host both Live and Recorded presentations for the featured area projects.  You will also get daily updates as Croppin’ Train makes its way to each destination.  All presentations will remain available in the private Facebook group so you can view them at any time and as often as you wish.

 Full payment is due at time of registration.  First 25 registrations will receive a free 6x6 paper pad.

 Cost:  $100 plus $20 flat-fee shipping in US

It's still a Virtual World!

 Well, here it is, March 7, 2021, and we're still not scheduling in-person events. :(  Just tonight, we did a pop-up virtual crop via Facebook.  These virtual get-togethers have been awesome!  It's so nice to see people!  We all look forward to the time we can actually get together in person, though.  Watch Facebook for event updates!  Thanks - stay well!

In-Person Events Coming Soon!

We are cautiously scheduling some in-person events in December.  These events are subject to change pending the environment. We will have restrictions. If you are not comfortable with our restrictions, there may be other solutions (for example, shirts can be a dropped off and picked up). Let us know.

Hobby House Restrictions:

- only one person per 6 foot table (unless you live together)

- a mask must be worn properly

- you must wash your hands when you arrive

- max of 10 people for class

Fall 2020 Scrapbook Retreat

 We haven't published a blog post in a long, long time, but are going to try and keep up with it again.  Today we get to start by thanking the awesome women that joined us at the Fall 2020 Scrapbook Retreat in Branson!  We had a terrific time with these ladies!  Lots of laughter, a few sips (?) of wine, a little shopping, and lots of paper-crafting!

We are working on 2021 dates, and will post on Facebook and the blog as soon as we have confirmed our plans.

Girls & Dolls Valentine Party

Hobby House invites your favorite girl and her 18" doll to our Girls & Dolls Valentine Party! The girls will enjoy a light luncheon (menu to be announced), then some crafting for themselves and their dolls. There will a photo booth, and digital images will be supplied to you electronically afterwards. We are limited on space, so must ask that no other children be brought to the event. There will be space provided for one adult per child, with a beverage and snack for those adults wishing to stay. 
Sunday, February 11, from 3:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the Hobby House (213 NW A Street - Bentonville). $20 per child; pre-payment required.
