Hello everyone,
We are both excited, and nervous that
the 2014 Scrapping with the stars - retreat in Phillip Island is only 8 days away !! Where
did that time go?
We have a lot to get through in this
email, so let me get started.
Firstly, for those of you unsure of
how to get to the retreat the venue details are as follows
Phillip Island Adventure Resort
1175 Phillip Island Road
Cowes
Vic. 3923
On arrival, once entering the premises, look for a
big bunch of balloons as this will be our meeting point. There are car parks in
the area near the pool. Leave your belongings in the car and go to the meeting
point. There will be someone there to greet you, and show you to your rooms.
NOTE a message from the venue: Guest’s cars should be angle-parked outside the sleeping
accommodation, and on the asphalted areas as directed or sign-posted. Drivers
should not exceed the speed restrictions whilst on-site and pedestrians should
obey the usual road safety rules. Please note that parking on the property is
at the owner’s own risk.
Remember the retreat starts at 4pm sharp. Please no early arrivals. There
will be another group before us, so the venue is very strict on this.
You will be required to bring
1. Clothes, toiletries
etc (there is a pool on premises)
2. Sheets, pillow
cases, sleeping bag or doona, towels
3. Crafting supplies
and photos
4. Alcohol and soft
drinks if desired (tea, coffee and water
supplied all day)
Drink and
snack machines are located in each of the BBQ recreation areas. Machines accept
$2, $1, 50c, 20c, 10c coins.
NOTE: We still have a few places left in all classes, so, you still have
a chance to book. All 3 classes are incredible, as you can see by the images
below. The focus of all our workshops is on ‘learning’. So, not only will you
go home with an incredible piece of artwork, you will also learn lots of new
skills, and techniques, that you will be able to incorporate into your own
projects.
For those already booked into the
classes, and are having trouble sourcing some of the product needed for the
class, don’t worry too much as we do have a few shared products (2 x heat guns,
punches, script stamps, clear embossing ink)
PLUS, we have purchased a few bottles
of Dimensional magic (used in Steph’s class) which we will have for sale. You
are welcome to email us, and order a bottle to avoid missing out.
