A Rose by any other name...

I do not often quote Shakespeare but it fits.

Where did my blog name come from?  Seven years ago there was a LSS in town and several of us met there to crop.  As many LSS's it closed and left us with no place to crop.  About that time I moved into my husband's parents home and claimed a large space for my scraproom and crop space.  The store closed and we bought tables and started meeting at my house.  Seven years later we have been together longer than the LSS was open!

We all went to CKU and wanted a group name and thus we became  The Cherokee Croppers because the name of my road is Cherokee.  And I live in the an area of the country which is home to the Cherokee Nation's Eastern Band.  And...like a lot of us here, I am part Cherokee.  So it was a natural and probably the easiest part of creating this blog.

Trick or Treat for Charity

Each year we have a charity drive for state employees.  In my office we auction off items by using tickets earned by making donations.  This year I have made a candy box to be auctioned.  I started with a simple wooden canister.

100 Days

Well, 96 now but anyone who even remotely knows me knows that I am retiring 1/1/11.  Needless to say; of course, I have scrapped this milestone.  My kind friends have refrained from pointing out that I have an extra end in "fund" which has been corrected but not rescanned.  Oh yes, and those are 3 years of The ScrapRoom kits I plan to play with when I retire!

A beginning?

Well, I never thought I'd never have a blog!  And of course I was pushed into it you might say.  It is in the birthing process and I hope soon it will be more interesting.
