the goodies

Well... have you got yourself organised yet? I haven't! Been putting together some make & takes as well as the goodie bags & sorting out all the RAKS & prizes... there are more boxes arriving tomorrow!!!!! these are just some of the goodies in store for you at the retreat with huge thanks to Scrapbook Outlet & Scrapbook Essentials. There is something coming from digital max, a great prize from up2Scrap.. a very useful prize from scrappyware, some Queen & Co stuff from Nic H via Megan R and hopefully some fiskars products too! I think we are being spoilt! The chef is doing the ordering tonight and prepping for the weekend come Thursday - he can't join us at the retreat - he has to look after our children!
OK, I gotta stop procrastinating... not sure if there will be anymore updates till after the weekend... hope you all travel safely, remember your scissors and are prepared for relaxing, creating, pampering & being challenged!

Later.

Here's a sample of the Scrapbook Essentials sponsored Make & Take for the retreat....
I recognise some of the photos from Bannockburn :-)

This looks like fun, thanks Meg & Megan!

Fiskars

have agreed to donate some goodies for the retreat... just gotta cross fingers that it gets here in time!

are yours crossed?

another supporter

Nik has just offered to donate a Scrappyware prize for the retreat!

She will also have some there for sale (I use my scrappy bag all the time).

Valentines card Competition

I'm hoping all entries got to me.... had a few email issues lately... so sorry if it didn't get here... but there will be other chances to win stuff leading up to the retreat and or at the retreat... so don't loose hope! I'm not getting online till later in the day so thought I'd post this now rather than make you all wait.

Thanks heaps for all your inspiration in these cards... I found a card that i purchased ($6.50!!!!) for dh last week (& had to give it to him later that day cause it was so perfect)... it reads:
LOVE. "I love being married! It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life." rita rudner. Was made by icandy. Check out the great cards in the two posts below!

Ok, for this one (the album kindly donated by Scrapbook Outlet NZ)... Miss 7 did the old pull a name out of the bowl trick.... & the winner is....


Janine!

This album will be waiting for you at the retreat Janine.

sneaky peeps

Here is an indication of the cool make & take that Megan (yep you guessed it :-)) is preparing for Scrap Retreaters... different theme & a few different products (big thanks to Scrapbook Essentials) but way fun!

get thos 'challenge ideas' posted in the previous post to be in for the RAK & so far only have one valentines card to be in the runnig for the Making Memories 12 x 12 album... great odds of winning so far!

Feel the love...

Another little comp with a Making Memories 'noteworthy' album as the prize courtesy of the Scrapbook Outlet for Scrap Retreaters.

But to win this, you have to do something.... I want to see some valentines cards - not just any though, they need to be created both for someone special & especially for this comp (don't want to see them on other online galleries - but on your own blog if you have one is fine (though if your recipient will see it there maybe keep it hidden).... to share it please email it to the link up to the right there on the blog but please make it less than 100kb so my email can cope.

The winner will be randomly drawn on the morning of Wednesday 13th Feb & announced on the blog here on the 14th along with images of all your creations.

so... create a valentines card, email it to me (less than 100kb) before midnight Tuesday 12th Feb and it might just be you who has the above album waiting for you at the Retreat!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!
