Shop and Crop at Creek Bank Creations!

May 1st, 2009

I’m driving to Muncie, Illinois tonight to attend a 2-day crop at Creek Bank Creations. I really like the owner, Julie, and am looking forward to taking her class tonight. I have a studio in my home, so I’m not the “going out to a crop” kind of girl. I actually went to another one she held in February and forgot to take half the things I needed. It’s hard for me to decide what to take with me since I am so used to just having ALL my stuff right here at my fingertips. I never know what I will use until I go looking through my cabinets and drawers and something catches my eye. You can’t really plan for that, so it’s frustrating for me to figure out what to take. Last time I forgot all of my PHOTOS. Can you believe that? BUT this time I am making a list! haha Of course, I’m sure to still forget something, right? Cause that’s my life! haha

Tomorrow morning I’ll be going back and taking a class from Marcie Morgan. I met her at the last crop and her pages were beautiful, so I’m interested in seeing what I can learn from her. I’m thinking of teaching a class myself for Creek Bank at the fall crop this year and I want to see how other people teach so I can get some pointers and adapt to my way of doing things and come up with something. We’ll see how it goes.

If you haven’t been to Creek Bank Creations, you should consider it. The store is housed in the old elementary school, and it is the cutest thing EVER. I really love Julie’s style of decorating and using “found” things. The store is darling! It’s always stocked with new stuff, too, and they make lots of products themselves that are awesome. You can shop at their online store too. I’ve got to get busy planning what to pack. Hopefully I can get lots of projects done over the next 2 days and then will have lots of things to show you here on Sunday! I have several “in the works” things that just need a bit of finishing up and they’ll be done. I love it when that happens because I feel so productive. Never mind that they were actually all started 6 months ago…..that’s beside the point, right?
