Crafty Bean to hold scrapbook retreat at local Airbnb in Florala

Scrapbooking is a way to express oneself. Imagine getting away for a weekend, but not going too far, to craft your memories into a scrapbook, make new friends along the way, compete in crafting challenges, play games and win prizes.

Join us for our 3rd Annual Crafty Bean Crop. This weekend scrapbook retreat is the perfect opportunity to have the staycation you’ve been wanting while creatively expressing yourself and meeting new artistic people. The third annual crop will take place Sept. 20-22, 2024, at the Guest Suites of Florala, located downtown at 23206 Fifth Ave, Florala, AL 36442.

Sandi Scroggins, the owner of Craft World and The Crafty Bean, is thrilled to put this event on again and help create an atmosphere for creative people to express themselves together and document their memories imaginatively in a scrapbook.

“I’m most excited for people to come together and finish their projects,” Scroggins said.
Scroggins loves to foster this community of crafters and encourage each of them to be creative in their own original way.

Croppers are encouraged to bring their scrapbooking projects, photos, paper, stickers, etc. Craft World is located five doors down from where the retreat will be taking place, so if croppers run out of supplies, they can pick up whatever they need at Craft World and get a 10% discount.

The theme for the weekend will be Las Vegas, so get ready for some fun.

There will be two croppers at each table with a maximum of 50 croppers.
