Thanksgiving Message

What a beautiful weekend in Pacifica!   Who would have known it was the beginning of November?  We were greeted with blue skies colorful ocean sunsets at our "Scrap with a View". We feel as if we've made many new friends who made this event very special and memorable. Special thanks to our instructors, Trina and Judy and our vendors Remember When from Vacaville and Pleasant Hill, Bee Impressed, Q's World Scanning Services, The Gotta Crop! Shop and Stephanie from Creative Memories.  Our Queen of the Gotta Crop went to Christi Mitchell from Las Vegas, NV. It was Ho Down night at the Gotta Crop Coral on Saturday night and there were several cowgirls including the Rhinestone Cowgirl, the Country Cropper and Scrapbooking Sheriff who had her hermafix by her side and ready to draw if necessary..oh yes, and one very special cow. Our winners for the Western Theme party were cowgirls Jacqueline from Phoenix, AZ. and Jessica from Chicago, IL, sisters. (pictured above).  Friday night Tina from San Francisco won the PJ contest wearing a sushi ensemble with chopsticks artfully arranged in her hair.  Our grand prize winners were Jacqueline from Phoenix, AZ., who won a Crop in Style Navigator and Lori from Benicia, CA who won a Gift Certificate to a future Gotta Crop!  Lots of prizes were given away and LOTS OF SCRAPBOOKING got done! We were pampered and spoiled by our massage therapist Scott and Gigi our professional makeup artist and esthetician. We were made to feel "Very Sexy" by Tracy from Victoria's Secret. The outstanding staff at the Lighthouse Hotel is part of the reason we keep coming back, THANK YOU!  Don't worry, if you missed out on this event at this beautiful hotel in Pacifica because we'll be going back in 2003 (several times!) and we hope to see you. Openings are still available for Pacifica 2, March 28-30th.                                   

Carmel Welcome Packets and Classes.. will be mailed and posted online by November 13th. We have lots of great classes and fantastic instructors in store for you.  Scrapbook Dreams from Sunnyvale will be joining us as well as Ann from Creative Memories and our very own Gotta Crop Shop. On Saturday night we'll be at the Crop Hop where the good ol 50's will be our theme. Break out those poodle skirts and leather jackets and we will see you in lovely Carmel by the Sea.

Thanksgiving Message -  This Thanksgiving we at Gotta Crop! have so very much to be thankful about. We very much appreciate the support and loyalty of so many fantastic people we have met along the way.  We have so many repeat Gotta Croppers, we feel as if they have become good friends. We look forward to each and every Gotta Crop! seeing old friends and making new ones. A special thanks to our families, especially our husbands, moms, and kids who put up with our long hours and being away on the weekends, we could not do this without you. Here's wishing all of you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.

We'll see you at a getaway soon...YOU DESERVE IT!!
