Jeanne Wines-Reed has hosted several of the largest crops in the country -- more than 1200 people attended a single crop she hosted at the Great American Scrapbook Convention! Wines-Reed says management techniques culled from large conventions can easily be adapted for home crop parties. - Organize supply stations to manage traffic flow for a larger groups. Have participants label any supplies brought to the crop.
- Create an "Information Station" where croppers can peruse magazines and books for new page ideas.
- A swap basket facilitates easy supply trading. Croppers simply put in items they no longer need, then search for new items to take home.
- Consider providing a kit to participants, or take a collection up to buy needed supplies for the crop.
- Contests are a great way to stimulate creativity and add to the fun of any crop. Croppers can create clever centerpieces, quick pages or paper dolls.
