Fi’s Scrapbook & Craft Supplies

Well it was a fantastic weekend, despite the cold. Thankfully I remembered to take my hot water bottle this year, so I was able to sit that on my lap and take it to bed to keep out some of the chill. Thankfully that was only the first day I went up. I think that must have been the coldest day to date. When we got up in the morning the grass had turned from green to white and their were these frosty little shapes on my car. I think it tried to snow whilst others keep telling me it was just frost…..LOL, Im sticking to the snow story. Will post pictures later tell me what you think.

The challenge this year was done on a Friday night, as one of the guest had to leave late Saturday afternoon, all though everyone dread it, they get on with it, with some amazing results. This year in their goody bag they each received a tin, lettering, paper, stamp and some other odds and ends. They had to decorate the tin and make 5 cards to go with it. They were or gorgeous and it was hard to pick a winner. Karen Holder was the winner, winning herself a Letter Storage donated by Printblocks.

Next year is booked again, at this stage if nothing changes it will be held in May, looking forward to catching up with everyone again.

Keep checking back as I will post pictures of the challenge as well.

Well the count down is on with just over 5 weeks to go.  Before you know it we’ll be on this wonderful 3 day scrapbooking weekend.  The cost of the retreat is $155 and whilst it may not be the Hilton its definately worth every cent.  The accommodation is clean and tidy and the views a gorgeous, with the hustle and bustle of every day life,  know where to be seen. 

Retreat includes:

6 meals

Accommodation is dormitory sleeping, cubicles section the beds off giving you plenty of privacy.  Four beds available to each cubicle.  This gives you the option to sleep on your own or share with friends.  The choice is yours.  Linen will be needed and since it will be winter I would suggest packing warmer items.  Bring you slippers and they will come in handy at night if you decide to stay up and scrap, Im even thinking a hot water bottle might be handy to warm my bed up….LOL

It would pay to call before you come out.

 This beautiful palette of soft colours would work well for Wedding and Heritage Pages.  Or, if you are in the process of making your wedding invitations then Windermere would add a romantic whimsical look.

WISTERIA - Just arrived in store and is gorgeous.

Looking for something social to do?   Well why not come along to one of our crops.  We have Social Crop every Wednesday.  What to save 10% everytime you shop and scrap for free???? Then ask about Club Crop.

Midnight Scraps are held on a regular Saturday Night for a small charge of $8.50, so why waste time watching TV when you could come out and meet new people who share the same passion.

It alls seems that I only just got through saying their has been more new products released when what do you know their is more again.  Due to economic crisis, I know how we all hate hearing that, but its true.  Their has been a terrible down turn in the $$$$ causing all the products coming into the country to be a lot higher prices. So whilst Im going to give you some pre-views on the latest products maybe this is a good time to also challenge yourself and actually use the products you have in your stash.
