Hi ladies
I hope you are all enjoying your Easter break; not long now before our Retreat - I'm getting quite excited!!
Just a few last minute bits and pieces to let you know about... in addition to the items you have already been requested to bring along, can you also bring the following please:-
- Your craft mat(s)
- Cuttlebug/Big Shot (or similar) machine, only if you have one (just would be helpful for the class to save some time)
- Clear stamp block 15x7cm (only if you have one)
- an extension cord if you are planning on bringing any electronic equipment
- a champagne/wine glass for Saturday's Glitz & Glam night
The items above that I have marked in orange are just for the class use; we will have these items available, but if we could have a few more, it will save some time getting around to everyone so if you don't mind sharing, it would be fantastic if you could bring these with you.
By the way, for our group photo on Saturday, can you wear blue/green/purple tonings in your clothes - that would go well with the papers we have chosen for the Photo Challenge.
I will send emails out to you all directly regarding this,but for those of you who regularly visit the blog then you have this info sooner.
Anyway, that's it for now, chat soon

Hello everyone Well my house has turned into a warehouse at the moment with all of the boxes of stock piling up. Kits are being prepared and the last minute touches are being done to ensure that you all have a great time at Kilcoy in exactly two weeks time! You all have the information you need for the weekend at this point in time; don't forget to bring your craft mats too and perhaps a cushion for your seat - have to be comfy when we scrap!! The lovely Brigitte will also be joining us to give us some pampering if you so choose it; this is an additional cost, but sooooo worth it. Let me know soon if you wish to partake in a lovely massage/reflexology treatment - you won't regret it, believe me. There is still time for you to book a place at the Retreat if you want to come along, even if it is just for part of the weekend or to attend the fantastic class with Michelle Jamieson. You can call me on 0413 21 6096 or email info@queenslandscrapbookingretreats.com.au for more information. By all means, contact me if you need to know anything about what to bring for the weekend - happy to help. The countdown is on!! Take care, Ann :-)
Hello there
Well for those of you who are attending the Kilcoy Retreat at the end of this month, you would have received an email from us giving you all of the details of the weekend...where we are staying...what to bring....and all the fun things that we have planned!! If you didn't get your email and you are registered to attend, please let me know.
We have a Glitz & Glam night planned for Saturday evening; so dust off your blingiest jewellery, get out your feather boas and get ready for a night of Glam Frivolity!! It will be so much fun!!
If you haven't booked yet, you better get in quick and do so as places are now limited. Email us on info@queenslandscrapbookingretreats.com.au for more info or call Ann on 0413 21 6096.
It won't be long now!!
Take care, Ann :-)
Hello everyone
I'm so excited to show you a sneak peek of the layout that Michelle will be teaching us on Saturday 30 April at the Kilcoy Retreat. Here it is:-
She will be showing us lots of techniques and tricks with this one which we can apply to future pages. Lots of colours - so click on the image to see it a bit closer and that will help you to look through and find some suitable photos to apply to it. Otherwise, black & white photos always look good.
I will contact you all directly with instructions, information and your requirements for the weekend shortly, so keep an eye out for an email from us soon.
The Retreat will be here before we know it - I am really looking forward to it!!
Take care for now, Ann :-)
Hello everyone, I would like to let you all know that I will post Michelle's class layout on the blog later today - it's a fantastic layout - lots of elements and techniques, so check back tonight for a sneak peek. In the meantime, it seems that I haven't received a couple of emails of late; if you have emailed me at all in the last week or so and I haven't responded, can you try again please or give me a quick call on 0413 21 6096. Don't you just hate technology sometimes!! I ALWAYS respond quickly to emails so please let me know if you don't hear from me pretty much same day. Chat soon, Ann :-)
Hello everyone
Well, Michelle has received the kit for the scrapbooking layout class on Saturday 30 April at the Retreat, so we will have a sneak peek of the layout very soon - I'm sooo looking forward to seeing what Michelle will be creating. She will be showing us how to make some embellishments as well - something to keep our scrapping costs down and save money.....so we can spend on other scrapping stuff!! :-)
I've also got some goodies to show you soon as well, that will be available at the retreat shop which I will post shortly.
If you are thinking of coming along to the Retreat, please contact me or book via the website soon. By the way, if convenient to you, I am happy for day participants to attend and give the local residents an opportunity to come along. You can come along on any day and stay as long as you like (until closing time) then go home if you want to. You can just come along for Michelle's class if you want to - no problem. Just drop me a quick email if interested - you would be surprised as to how cheap it can be!!
The Retreat will be here before we know it, so make your booking soon.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Take care, Ann :-)
Hello there
If anyone is considering coming along to the Retreat at Kilcoy, I can offer day participant rates if you live close-by and would prefer to travel to and from the Retreat on a daily basis over the weekend.

The rates would include your scrap pack, the class & kit for Michelle's class on the Saturday morning (if attending), and all meals. Please contact me if this is a preferred option for you.
I'd love to see you at the Retreat, even if it is only during the day (and part of the night!).
My email address is info@queenslandscrapbookingretreats.com.au, or you can call me on 0413 21 6096 - we can tailor a package to suit you.
Take care, Ann :-)
