"Hello Crafters!

I am hosting monthly crops at Leverington Presbyterian Church at Ridge Ave & Hermitage St in Roxborough. (Park in the parking lot to the left of the church and come in the door that says "office.")

What is a crop? It's a time when crafters meet somewhere to work on their individual projects. Everyone brings their own supplies for whatever they're working on. It's a lot of fun and a great place to get ideas! You can scrapbook, make cards, make jewelry, or any other craft you can think of!

• 
  For those of you who haven't been to a crop before, here's some suggested things that you should bring:
  Paper
  Adhesive
  Scissors
  Trimmer
  Photos
  Embellishments
  
  I will bring my Cricut machine for everyone to use, plus my Gypsy which houses my cartridges. Please bring your own mat. I will also bring my big shot for everyone to use, with my platform and some dies. 
  
  I will have some breakfast treats, but lunch is on your own. I will get a case of bottled water plus coffee. You can either bring a lunch or there is a Wawa about 3 blocks away. There's a Dunkin Donuts 1 block away also. 
  **We do not have access to a refrigerator or microwave at the church. Please plan accordingly.**
  
  The cost is $15 per person.
  
  Please e-mail me (laurenmullarkey@yahoo.com) to RSVP and specify which date(s) you plan to attend. Feel free to pass this along to invite all your crafty friends!
  
  I hope to see you there!
