Cruise News and Changes

Many of you have been asking when we're having the contest for a Cruise Giveaway. Well it's coming up. First week of November in fact. We'll be doing an online crop coordinated by Megan Ann with some help from McCall. There will be several challenges and each challenge will have a prize--free cruise tickets on the CropChocolate.com Cruise 2011, a Cricut, a Slice Cordless Designer and more. What's more, we'll be running other prize contests where you can win the same stuff--all thanks to some changes to SweetTALK.

If you don't win the Grand Prize don't worry your pretty little faces, CropChocolate.com is going to offset a lot of the cost for the cruise and offer tickets for only $299 per person. SAY WHA??? $299? Yep. We're finalizing the dates in March and the ship and destination but rest assured, it will be a great ship and good fun will all your friends from CropChocolate.com!... and any other friend/husband/sister/son/daughter/neighbor you want to tell.

More info is on the way.

In other news; you may have noticed the "gift card" tab in the upper CropChocolate.com tab bar. You can now buy CropCredits from anybody you want. Weather they're a CropChocolate.com customer or you just want to give a Christmas gift to a scrapper in your local crop. It's pretty simple, just choose an amount, enter the person's name and email address and we'll take care of the rest--after you finalize the gift transaction that is. The person will receive a SWEET email with a gift certificate and a unique token key that they can redeem. Pretty simple stuff.

Knowing that the time of giving is upon us, we're also going to do some shopping for YOU. Over the next few months we'll put up links to different stores, product, and stuff that your lover, mother, or dog may love to get. Simply click that link or one of the google links in The Crop to see what's up. We'll help you find some cool things... we hope.

Huck and McCall are healthy and well. Thank you all for your gifts, prayers and thoughts of interest on our behalf. We are SWEET on YOU because you're so dang SWEET on others.

One more note, because of some constraints, we are going to change some of the la Carte rules. At any given time, we are floating about $200K in product in the la Cartes. If we can minimize some of the debt this puts on CropChocolate.com we will be able to continue with the la Carte program and the sweet deals. In order to do that we are going to test a 31 day la Carte rather than a 45 day la Carte in efforts to keep product moving.

Pretty cool news huh?

Sweetly,

  4. That is an AMAZING price for a cruise! If that was the only cost I'd definitely do it but being in Canada and having to pay for a flight to wherever in the US is probably going to be too steep for even just me to go right now. Sounds like it's going to be a great time too.

  5. That is a great price on a cruise! Just wondering where is would be leaving from cause the plane tickets might cost me more than the cruise... lol. I wonder if my sidekick would be willing to go too!!! Great job Jon! Can't wait to check out the crop. When and where will it be since there is no message board on CC. That seems a little difficult to conduct.

  6. Thought I posted a message but apparently that was just a brain-fart! I'm IN!! Dh said I can go no matter what, but it's my Christmas & Birthday gifts all rolled into one :-)

    Wondering if there will be family activities or more just for scrappers? Any clue what the dates might be? I know... details, details, details

    I am so excited. I definitely want to go and probably take my mom with me.

    Question: Do we need a passport and/or will we need Visas for this cruise????
