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?

home

our other make and take is all about being home (you can change the theme... but why not scrap your space)
there will be something see through to get your creative juices flowing... so get those photos of where you live ready for playtime!

Photo Prep

less than 3 weeks to go now!

can you please get some pics of where you live... maybe your special place to sit, eat, fave room, fave piece of art or decor... your favourite cup, where you feel most creative, your front door step, your mail box, your street sign, your 'main street' the corner dairy....

would love 5 -10 pics & no bigger than 4 x 6....

all will become clear in good time... watch for some sneaks....

if you don't get these it's ok, you can add later.... but would be great to take it away finished....

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).

scrapping goals RAK

yep, I've 'heard' that some of you talk - ALL THE TIME... but it would be fantastic if you all set yourselves a goal or two for the retreat weekend - preferably scrappy... it might be about using a different technique, about using some of your stash, about sticking to a spending budget, to create 2 layouts...complete a particular project... make all your birthday cards for the next 6 months... something!

leave a comment with your scrappy goal for the retreat.... RAK will be Drawn on Thursday 28th Feb (just one week before the retreat begins for some people).... so set yourself some goals and a RAK might just be waiting for you at the retreat... along with your goodie bags, make & takes, great company, tasty food.....

my goals:

• I hope to get at least 10 layouts done
• Use my left overs to make cards
• get 5 pages of my sons 5th birthday album done

guess if I aim high I might surprise myself LOL.

Day Scrappers

If you just want to join us for a day, here's what it will cost you:

Thursday evening - no day visits
All day Friday - over 2 meals (lunch & dinner) $35 + something to share for morning or afternoon tea
Friday evening (from 7 till late) $5
part day Friday (only there over one meal time) $25
All day Saturday $45 (something special...)
Saturday evening (from 7 till late) $15
Saturday over lunch (say from 10 - 4) $25
No day visits on Sunday.

there may be a few 'goodies' for day visitors but not as spectacular as what the full campers are getting (we only planned for 25 of the make & takes & goodie bags as we didn't have the space initially for more people), there will be lots of laughs, chat & maybe a little creating, but there will also be 2 Scrapbook Shops set up in rooms just off the main scrap hall.....
