I often wish I had more friends to scrapbook with - or more time/chances/opportunities to attend crops. But with two small children and a husband that works from 4 -12 Friday through Tuesday it's VERY hard! I am lucky to get to go to CKC and maybe one other crop a year. I do have a good friend who we trade nights I go to her house one weekend then it's her turn to come to my house. (BTW - Natlie it is SOOOO your turn) That way we take turns packing up all our stuff! I have another friend who HATES to pack up her stuff so she practically refuses to go to crops - she thinks she needs to take it all!
So for those of you out in the boonies, with no scrap friends, or you HATE to pack up your stuff - I have the solution!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLINE crops!!!!!!!!!! I know it sounds a little crazy but it is way fun!
Here are some sights with online crops:

Splitcoast Stampers - this will link you directly to the Virtual Scrapbook Night thread .

This is all about the scrappin! Time restrained challenges with a central theme - I have been a hostess! There are also mini ones. There are no games or real prizes for this one. There is also a Virtual Stamping Night.

Addicted Scrappers - this is a kit site - The link is the MB - not sure how often they have crops. Lots of games, projects and one big overall prize

Scrap Freak - This is an AWESOME message board with a store and lots of fun stuff. They just had a crop that was all about the members. We made up our own challenges and games! It was sooooooooooo much fun! (sorry Jodes) they have lots of monthly challenges and such too - and chats with diff manufacturers like Page Maps and Pink Paislee. Nice crop cause all challenges were posted early - also some games - so if you had to hold a baby all night you could still participate and chat.

Serendipity Scrapbooks - Great, fun site! They have an online crop about every 2 months!!!! Lots of games and challenges. Daily door prizes, Blue Light Specials - special 50% off on certain items in the store for certain amounts of time!!! Good stuff too! There is a theme but challenges that would work for LOTS of different layouts. This is a new site to me but I am lovin it!!!!!
