Meet the Dream Team… the “How Did I Forget Her?!” Edition! Yesterday I shared our Dream Team post… and somehow managed to leave out the woman who helps make sure I don’t forget things.

Meet Cheryl, my incredible assistant! ❤️

I truly could not run The Whole Kit N Kaboodle without her. Cheryl is one of those people working behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly long before an event ever begins. She creates documents, organizes details, anticipates what we’re going to need before we need it, and makes sure both our team AND our attendees are taken care of. So many of the little details that make our events feel organized and seamless have Cheryl’s fingerprints all over them.

She keeps me organized, keeps the team prepared, and probably keeps me from losing my mind more often than she realizes.

Cheryl, I’m sorry I missed you yesterday—but you are absolutely an essential part of this Dream Team. We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️

Meet some members of the Dream Team! These are some of the smiling faces you'll see working at our in-person events. From setting up and tearing down, answering questions, keeping things organized, and doing about a million little things in between, this crew helps makes the magic happen.

But our Dream Team is even bigger than the faces you see here. We have additional amazing team members working in production and die cutting who help create, cut, package, and prepare everything that eventually makes it way to our events - and to your home.

It truly takes a team to do what we do, and I'm incredibly grateful for every single person who plays a part in our Dream Team.

One of my absolute favorite parts of our events is seeing the excitement and pure JOY on someone’s face when their name is called during our prize giveaways! There’s just nothing better!

At last weekend’s Create & Inspire: Doodlebug Style, The Whole Kit N Kaboodle gave away more than $2,500 in prizes—and that doesn’t even include all of the amazing prizes Doodlebug generously gave away throughout the weekend! Congratulations to all of our winners, and THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our inaugural Doodlebug event so incredibly special.

Want to join in on the fun next year? Mark your calendar for August 20–22, 2027 to be in Noblesville, Indiana. Registration opens Monday, August 31 at 12 noon Eastern!

We have a feeling year TWO is going to be even bigger, brighter and more colorful!

When you attend a crop weekend, what's your #1 must-have. So much goes into a crop - from the theme, perks, activities, food, shopping, prizes, space, etc. If you could choose just one thing that makes a weekend crop a "must-attend", what would it be?
