Themed crops Depending upon your group, you may enjoy having a themed party, such as a slumber party and wear pajamas or a Silly hat day and encourage members to all wear funny hats. At Christmas, you may decide to play special music and bake seasonal favorites. Some groups encourage members to bring small, scrapbook related gifts either wrapped or hidden in a bag. The members then each draw a number and in order, chose an unwrapped gift or steal one that has been previously opened. This is a fun game and also a way to recycle supplies that you may have bought and then not needed.
Some groups have a table set aside to swap supplies.
Perhaps you bought the same punch or pen twice without meaning to or were given a gift of an item you already own. Maybe you have all boys and received a paper piecing gift made in all pink. One person's idle supplies may be exactly what another scrapbooker has been desperately searching for. By placing a basket in the center of the tables for scraps, many 'leftovers' can be recycled by other scrapbookers. Punch art enthusiasts especially enjoy this treat.
