I love my Crocs. My podiatrist told me that they are really good for your feet. I am so glad because I love to get home at the end of the day and put my purple one on. I want to get some more. I am thinking orange...for a silly reason. One of my favorite Dr. Suess stories is "I Wish that I had Duck Feet". If I get orange then I can pretend that I have duck feet.
Have a great day.

Crocks DO rock!!!
Now put me out of my misery and tell me the punch line from the T shirt in your photos (picture 6) "You say psycho scrapper..."
The things that catch my eye LOL
Posted by: Jody | February 14, 2006 at 01:58 AM
I love my crocks!! I've been wearing them for about 2 months now and I never want to take' em off!! they are just too comfy!!!
Posted by: Toni *FoxyCropper* | February 14, 2006 at 02:37 AM
I have been wanting a pair of Crocs since MT last year...and kept seeing them on peoples feet.
Now for the laugh........the boss keeps telling me that we are a "REMOTE" store (due to being in the country, and I found a store that sells crocs. I have a pair on hold, and pick them up tommorrow.
Thanks for the laugh, those photos are cool. We will have to find you something fun to buy between classes when you are here!

After Heidi's post when she got back from CHA - I ordered 2 pair - and they actually fit (that's a big accomplishment since I have wide feet and people don't usually cater to wider width people). I got pink in the beach style, and black in the professional style. The light pink is sort of pepto bismol pink unfortunately, but still very comfortable !!! :) I'm going to have to order some different styles for summer !
Posted by: Brooke | February 14, 2006 at 06:54 AM
Oh yeah - where were the letters purchased ? I love the block style like that - but all I can find are bubble looking styles at my local Michaels.
Posted by: Brooke | February 14, 2006 at 06:55 AM
Crocs are the best and they originated about 20 minutes from my house! We've had them here in CO for about 4 years. They were first designed for boaters since the material is great around water. They're great for kids too but unfortunately still cost $30 for kids!
A word of warning about going up and down the stairs though...they easily catch on the steps and can trip you up.
Posted by: Brandi Ginn | February 14, 2006 at 07:00 AM
I ordered a pair after I saw the pics from CHA that Heidi posted. I LOVE them. I am goingto add another pair to my collection soon and of course they are pink but the green looks pretty awesome too. Happy V-Day Donna!
Posted by: Vee | February 14, 2006 at 07:43 AM
great pics!! i had a BLAST this weekend, thank-YOU for coming to teach!! it was amazing!! still holding out on the Croc, i literally have like 50 pair of birkenstocks!! LOL
Happy Valentines Day!! :D
Posted by: kara | February 14, 2006 at 07:48 AM
You enabler, you!!!!
I have a vision, DD, like a Pied Piper, leading the single file scrapper parade from scrap store to croc store and back again!
There will be a run on croc stores everywhere, with scrappers matching the color of their shoes to their favorite printed paper or their totes or their Fiskars Drill....
Posted by: Felecia | February 14, 2006 at 08:40 AM
Yup, those crocs are awesome. Just got my first pair last week and have 2 more on order coming next week. There are a few online places on the web that sell them for $29.99 and free shipping... so happy shopping out there for people that want to get a pair. When you answer the question about where to get the LOVE letters can you post that for all of us. I have been looking for them as well and have not been able to find them.
Thanks Donna!
Can't wait to meet you in Provo.... getting excited for your classes. I hope I get into them OK.
Happy Valentine's Day to you..
Posted by: Shannon Stamp | February 14, 2006 at 09:04 AM
you all kill me. Don't you know I started the croc trend??! Here in Iowa, I am serious!!! Got my pepto bismals on right now.
Hugs Donna!
Posted by: slcoleman99 | February 14, 2006 at 09:21 AM

Posted by: Deanna | February 14, 2006 at 09:50 AM
Like little mini trampolines on your feet. I'm so glad you are spreading the word!
Btw -- when are you coming to Spokane?
I want to take a class from YOU!!!!
Love ya.
Posted by: Stacy J | February 14, 2006 at 09:50 AM
Hmmm crocs eh? gonna have to look into those!
Did your IKEA bookcase arrive? I have a couple questions about it, if you don't mind me being nosy/picking your brain.... =)
Posted by: Holly | February 14, 2006 at 10:29 AM
LOVE my crocs! And a cool thing I learned about them recently... you can ask the store if they'll change out the back strap to a different color. My pink Crocs have a lime green strap. FUN!
Oh, and for those asking about where to get the big letters, I bought some from www.creativexpress.com this past weekend. They're Provo Craft brand and were just under $3 per letter.
Posted by: Sheryl | February 14, 2006 at 11:38 AM
OMG...how rockin! These were just on Oprah the other day too!! They are so ugly they're cute! I hear they are really comfy too!!
BTW...I'm having Treo envy...I so want one, and my phone is almost caput..so, so tempting!
Posted by: jen | February 14, 2006 at 11:39 AM
YES...CROCS ROCK!!!!!!
I love my crocks! Have you seen the little crocs? I just bought my 4 yr. old a pair of the bright pink...they are sooooooooo cute!
Posted by: Shelly | February 14, 2006 at 12:35 PM
Ok, this was the 'sign' I have been waiting for--I am buying my Crocs today! I bought a fake pair from Target, but have been convinced that they just aren't the same.
I need a favor from ya Donna, if you don't mind. I can’t make it to the classes you are hosting in Norristown, PA, so I was pumped to hear about your classes in Quakertown just a month later! I called the store for info since they don't have a website, and they gave me the class names and costs. Is there a way you could email a description of the Saturday classes though? I need a little more info to help me decide which to take...also, can you tell me what supplies I would need to bring? I would really appreciate it! The woman at the store said they opened up registration on Friday and that the classes are already half full! I wanna get in before time runs out!
Thanks Donna!! (Sorry I wrote a book!)

Posted by: Heather Moll | February 14, 2006 at 02:08 PM
Adorable! I *NEED* a green pair of crocs!
Posted by: Jen | February 14, 2006 at 02:08 PM
I love my crocs... have them on right now! Boring black, but it's the only color I can really wear to work.
Bought them while in Vegas for CHA... my poor tootsies couldn't stand sneakers another minute!
I'm thinkin' I hear those orange crocs calling my name!
Glad you had so much fun!

Wish I lived in Lubbock. I tried to get them to send me your classes in kits since I am in Iowa. Are you going to do any of these classes at BPS? Especially the album that you are not doing at CKU.....I would love it. And take it....You are amazing, but I know that everyone tells you that! I have seen those big letters all over the internet too. Do you know where we could get some?
Thanks!
Posted by: Kim G | February 14, 2006 at 03:36 PM
Ohhhhhh I love my Crocs! Khaki..sorta boring esp for me--but they go with everything.
Glad you've discovered them :)
So am I ever going to get in a class from you again? Whip me up a kit next time you teach--you know I am good for the dough :)
Posted by: April Lambert | February 14, 2006 at 05:18 PM
Hi Donna! I had a great time with you and all the croppers in Lubbock! Thanks for letting me try on your crocs!! They were so comfy...will have to look for some here.
I loved your album class. You have inspired me to buy a Fiskars Craft Drill --I just ordered it from Joann.com--$12.99 and free shipping!! :) Thanks girl...and thanks for the laughs--that was so funny--about the drill :D
Come back to Texas anytime!!
Posted by: Cathy | February 14, 2006 at 06:13 PM
Right back at you beautiful!! I missed ya!! Now when can I see pictures of those flip flops!! You know you want to!! Hugs Wanda

Posted by: Bonnie K | February 14, 2006 at 07:06 PM
I have heard of Crocs but now, well I just HAVE to have some. I checked out the link you gave and by golly there is a store in the next town (I live in backwoods Alberta) that sells them. I feel a roadtrip coming up tomorrow!! THANKS! Were they very expensive?
Posted by: elsaduff | February 14, 2006 at 08:12 PM
I wanted to buy a pair of these this summer at REI, but my hubby told me they made my feet look like Ronald McDonald!!!
Poo on him, I am sooooo getting a pair....maybe green or pink instead of Ronald Red! LOL
Posted by: Jennifer Pebbles | February 14, 2006 at 08:34 PM
I just saw some knock offs at Walmart...in case you want to get your girls some matching ones ;)
They are the new rage!
Posted by: Maureen | February 15, 2006 at 06:39 AM
OMG!! Those are sooo cool! I so gotta get some!! Gonna go shopping, Gonna Go Shopping!! hehe
Posted by: Noella | February 15, 2006 at 08:45 AM
I agree! Crocs are awesome! Hey Donna...whatever did you do with all of the tags? DId I miss a post on the outcome?
Posted by: Heather D. White | February 15, 2006 at 03:01 PM
Hi Donna,
I love my Crocs soooo much that I made a layout for them in an "All About My Shoes" Album. (yes!! I made an album about all of my favorites shoes. I really take too many pictures.)
If you'd like to see it, I'll upload some pics.
Posted by: Kathleen | February 15, 2006 at 06:18 PM
The Crocs range in price from 29.99 and up, depending on the style you purchase.
Posted by: Kathleen | February 15, 2006 at 06:20 PM
:) Those DML girls are too fun.
Posted by: Care | February 15, 2006 at 11:19 PM
That is a perfect photo for a Croc ad! Totally fabulous. You all look like you had so much fun.
Posted by: Kathy | February 16, 2006 at 12:24 AM
I found a supplier for crocs here in the UK and am now the owner of a lush pink pair! Also bought some for my other half (he's not seen them yet though cause they only arrived this morning). First thing I did was try them on and i've yet to take them off....crocs rock!
Posted by: Caz | February 16, 2006 at 08:33 AM
I had never heard of crocs until I came on your site! How freakin' cute! I think I am going to run out and get some! They look comfy! Sending some NC love your way... YOU ROCK!
Posted by: Erin C. | February 16, 2006 at 02:07 PM
Those letters really are too cute? Would you mind sharing where we can get those. I can't find any that classy around here.
Thanks, and love your blog.
Posted by: Jennifer | February 16, 2006 at 11:34 PM
thanks for the info on the Crocs I've already bought a pair and maybe another.
Posted by: Ann Fowler | February 17, 2006 at 05:00 PM
I've seen these on the theatre staff at the hospital where I work... what has decided me to get some is the fact they are recommended by podiatrists. My feet are wide and hard to buy for, so thank you Donna for the heads up!!
Posted by: Jenrigg | February 17, 2006 at 06:16 PM
Crocks are addictive! I bought my first pair 2 years ago and now own 11 pairs. I am lucky in that I can wear them to work most of the time. The problem comes when I do have to dress up a little; what shoes do I wear? My feet are so spoiled right now!
Posted by: Debbie Musick | February 19, 2006 at 10:51 PM
Had never heard of Crocs before, but fell in love with them when I saw them on here....just my sort of shoe - I live in clogs usually.....anyhow I am now the proud owner of a pink pair, and have to keep them under lock and key as my 14 yr old daughter keeps trying to steal them. They were a huge hit a church yesterday!!!! Crocs rock!!!
Posted by: Jules | February 20, 2006 at 08:36 AM
I bet the Lubbock classes rocked! Those were actually the ones I wanted to take (vs. Oklahoma City) but I couldn't come up with a good reason to convince the others to drive from Dallas to Lubbock other than the fact I went to Tech and wanted to see the ol' town!
Posted by: Jennifer Lynn | February 24, 2006 at 05:34 PM
Loving the foot photo! How fun! :)
