the venue

Have just spent some time at the chalets at Lakeland Park where we will be staying. The view is beautiful out the large windows in the chalets and there is a lovely lakefront track which you can walk along when you need some fresh air. It's about 10 minute drive to Frankton (the airport and Remarkables Park Shopping Centre) and about 20 minutes to central Queenstown.

The room will be a tight squeeze, but we should all fit as long as we only take what we need. Please don't plan on bringing any cricuts, wishblades, expressions, diecutting machines, anything bigger than a xyron 250, computers/printers and anything else that might just take up too much precious scrapping space.

We will be limiting your supplies also e.g. one average sized tote & one other carry bag for scrapping stuff to go into the scrapping room.

There will be a cuttlebug, & expression there for everyone to use but you may have a per cost cut unless you are able to supply your own mat & blade. These will be avaliable to purchase at the retreat.

We are unable to access any bigger scrapping spaces as the park is booked out over the weekend.

Will update you as we get more info sorted :-)

a question answered

it was asked what the $$$$ covers...
well it covers your accomodation & your kai (food) as well as water & hot drinks.. we'll see how the budget goes for juice.. but if you really want some - BYO.

Thanks to our sponsors we will most likely have some goodie bags & a couple of classes/workshops or make & takes over the weekend.. as well as some surprises we are scheming!

you will need to provide your own bedding, towels etc & your own scrap stuff though a little birdie tells me that there may be limits on how much you can bring in the way of supplies as scrap space will be at a premium... not just the top bunks Tanya! but in saying that there will be goodies avaliable to purchase from a store or two that will be at the retreat!

full!!!

well, in less than 24 hours... we have no spaces left!!!!! & I might have to sleep at home! Although you may have missed out at this stage... (we'll have to book bigger accomodation next time).... send us your name etc & if people pull out you may be able to grab their space... no promises!!!

Both Scrapbook Outlet & Scrapbook Essentials have generously offered to sponsor the retreat so look forward to some yummy goodies coming your way in March 2008.... there are some other 'treats' in the pipeline too... so keep an eye out for updates on this one :-)
