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.

 

Email us if you are interested in booking any classes’ scrappingwiththestars@yahoo.com.au

 

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.
