The price of your all-inclusive scrapbooking weekend retreat is $280.00, plus sales and hotel tax. 

Your weekend rate includes lodging, linens, every single delicious meal from Friday night to Sunday brunch, (Thursday guests receive late night appetizers and a continental breakfast on Friday) all day snacks, beverages, and technique demonstrations.

Guests may arrive any time after 3:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon.  Check-out time is 12:00p.m. on Sunday.

We require that your weekend be paid in full one month prior to your stay. A $65.00 non-refundable deposit is due with your registration. The balance of your stay can be made in 4 additional payments (we will email you the payment schedule) or you are always welcome to pay in full upfront. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Checks, and Money Orders. 

Thursday check-in is a service we have offered for many years … for an additional $50 you can get an extra 24 hours of crafting time in!    

Check-in is 3:00 pm and you’re on your own for dinner.   We serve fresh from the oven homemade tollhouse chocolate chip cookies and cold milk along with a homemade spinach dip for a late-night snack.   

Friday morning is a continental breakfast and you’re on your own for lunch.   

Full service begins at 4:30 when the rest of the staff arrives.   

There is a hostess on staff at all times to be sure you have fresh coffee, a full fridge of pop and the snack and candy jars are full.  

I think it’s safe to say once you try Thursday check-in you can’t imagine coming without it!  

We welcome singles as well as groups.  If you come by yourself, you will leave with new friends.

Currently we only offer weekend packages, but keep an eye on our website for upcoming events, we may offer them in the future.  

Our home and cropping area are both air-conditioned for your comfort.

Cropping Daze is a smoke-free environment.  However, we do have smoking areas outside the home where you can sit quietly on the deck and enjoy nature.

The bedrooms are only shared within a group - you will not be sharing a room with people that you do not know.  

You will have unlimited use of the cropping area from the time you arrive Friday until you leave at noon on Sunday.  You will be pampered with delicious meals and treats from Friday dinner through breakfast on Sunday.  Fresh linens and comfy beds in attractively decorated bedrooms will enhance your enjoyment. Full amenities in the bathroom included. Complimentary bottle-dispensed spring water, coffee, diet and regular soda, and snacks are at your disposal.  Your hostesses for the weekend will be at your command.

Meals are at scheduled times, however, we are flexible based on the group's requests. This weekend is for your relaxation and fun.  You can stay up all night and sleep all day if you like.  On occassion we offer specialty events like our Cricut weekend - watch our Facebook for special events.  

We carry a limited supply of paper, adhesives, page kits and other miscellaneous items for purchase in case you run out.  We still recommend that you come with all the supplies you will need.  

We offer several tools free to use during your stay, including a Sizzix die machine with miscellaneous dies and two alphabet sets, hundreds of rubber stamps, embossing tools, decorative scissors, punches, and decorative corner rounders. A wireless printer is often available for use.  Basic tools should still be part of your personal scrapbook supplies.

We comfortably host a maximum of 12 guests.  However, we can always sneak in a 13th guest .. we can add an extra bed to either the Angel or the Sweet Dreams room.  We do have an extra 8 foot table.  We set up the dining room a little differently as well.  Email croppingdaze@gmail.com for more information.
