Wonderful Scrapping Weekend

We have just had another wonderful Scrapping weekend. The 13 ladies have all attended before and a great time was had by all. they started to arrive at 10 am on the Friday morning and came from Wagga Wagga, Stockinbingal, Cooma, Queanbeyan as well as three ladies from the local area.

The wonderful Scrappers

 During the course of the weekend I conducted three workshops and gave one demonstration.  I am always amazed at the quality of work that is produced in these workshops.  This retreat was no exception.

There were many jokes and laughter not to mention the eating of food.  I heard one lady say that she had been on a diet so that she could enjoy the food over the weekend.

 Saturday morning seen most of the ladies make a trip to Scrapping4Keeps to add to their stash of paper and embellishments. It is intriguing to see how much they bring to the weekend and there is a lot of idea swapping on the storage devices for hauling all their goodies.

 I usually run two weekends a year.  The second is in September but all the ladies booked for this before they left on Sunday.  Bridget, from Scaping4Keeps, has asked me to run an extra retreat this year as she has a lot of enquiries and she felt that other ladies would like to enjoy a retreat also.  We have planned another weekend for the 21^st – 23^rd June.  If you are interested in attending this please contact me.

Back Home

After a wonderful 10 days of Scrapping and Cursing we are back to reality. The trip was wonderful. We met a great bunch of scrappers, had some great workshops, saw some new things and above all had a great time. Mellissa Kennedy from Kaiser was great. She has a vibrant personality and is wonderful to work with. Her diverse selection of workshops were enjoyed by all.

Lorelle Hardt, who is an Australian married to an American and the organizer of the trip, did a wonderful job. She is hoping to organize another one next year. I can recommend to trip to all scrappers. Thank you Lorelle.

We made a wonderful ship album for a memento of the trip. A Christmas double page layout, a single page layout, a box and a beautiful double page layout title ‘All about me.’ This layout used papers and colours that I wouldn’t normally have chosen but I was very impressed with the results. Thank you Mellissa.

We had access to a large scrapping room 24 hrs and could come and go as wee pleased. This was great.

Anne Marie for ‘Memories that Last’ had a small ‘shop’ which was great as we all purchased something. She also gave a bonus class featuring an acrylic hanger as a memento of the trip. Thank you Anne Marie.

Scrappin Cruise

Kay, Pam and I are going on a Scrappin Cruise on the 21st November. It is getting very close and getting very exciting. There are five days at sea and each day there is a workshop by Melissa Kennedy from Kaisercraft. We are looking forward to going and are starting to get daunted at what to take to scrap. We have access to a Scrapping Room where we can set up for the cruise. Also looking forward to meeting other Scrappers from far and wide. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
