Super Saturday

We have to tell you about our Super Saturday!! Well, the class started like it was supposed to...Kylie got the painting of the lovely frame going...then Sharon took over for the fabulous double page layout - no sooner had the ladies cut a couple of pieces of pattern paper when Sharon's phone rang with the news that Kenz had fallen from the bars at gymnastics and broken her arm!!

Poor Kenz had broken both the bones in her forearm and needed surgery to set them straight. Poor Sharon had to leave our Super Saturday class to spend the day, evening and then her Mother's Day in the hospital. Ever the trooper Mackenzie is doing well after her ordeal and ever the SCRAPBOOKER Sharon has some amazing photos that she has been showing us.

Thanks to the Super Saturday ladies who didn't mind the early interruption to their class, they all went on to produce amazing works of art and we enjoyed our very first Saturday workshop!!

Bits and Pieces

The last couple of weeks have been dedicated to getting ready to bring you awesome classes and we are happy that our classes started this week and they were fantastic!!

Thanks to everyone who came along and supported us in our new endeavour!! Riverstone is a great venue for our classes - the hall is bright and has fabulous natural light and the centre room also has great lighting and a cosy atmosphere.

This week we sewed on our pages, glimmermisted our titles, some painted, some inked and we all enjoyed Tim Tams and a wonderful Choc Peppermint Slice (thanks to CC for making it and bringing it along for us to share). Sherie was at each class with her wonderful range of products - heaps of new papers and bits and pieces. We love new product!!

This Saturday's workshop is almost full - there are a couple of spaces still available if your interested.

We have been planning the Saturday workshops for the rest of this year. Do you believe we are almost half way through and we hate to say it but Christmas will be upon us before we know it, so we thought we would be super organised and therefore this years Saturday workshops will be as follows:

JULY - Mini Album
SEPTEMBER - Christmas Cards and Gifts
NOVEMBER - Christmas Projects

We still need to finalise the exact dates and we will announce those as soon as we have them.

June's weekend retreat filled up so quickly that we went back to Castlereagh Academy to beg for another cabin and luckily one was available so there are now a few more spots. Be quick though as they will book fast. We have planned fantastic classes including a layout using the Cuttlebug, quick demos and yes there will be scones with jam and cream!! AND, you can arrive anytime after 12 noon on Friday so you can start your scrapping early!!

We've also booked the Girls Night In weekend retreat for the last weekend in October - as well as spending a whole weekend scrapbooking we will be fundraising for The NSW Cancer Council and the girls night in is all about women's cancers so THINK PINK and get on board for a great cause. Both weekends are going to be lots of fun!!

Until next time...
