Fall Crafting Retreat
From Friday, September 20, 2024 - 03:00pm
To Saturday, September 21, 2024 - 08:00pm
Look At What You'll Be Crafting With:
We have loads of crafting fun in store with colourful card projects that will delight you in so many ways. Each attendee will be receiving two stamp sets - Penciled Pear and Everyday Details, along with watercolour paper, 6x6 Designer Series Paper and a fun embellishment pack. These are yours to keep. You will also receive all the card bases, envelopes and loads of other coordinating project materials to help complete the TEN fabulous projects we have designed for you. We will be playing with some fun and simple colouring techniques as well.
FRIDAY 3-8PM
After you load in and get your crafting space all set up, grab a hot or cold beverage and a treat from the refreshment table and join us for some light crafting fun with our popular Pick & Choose Crafting Session and social get-to-know-you activities. This will be followed up with our fabulous "LUCKY HAND" card game with lots of fantastic prizes to be won! We will have light refreshment Friday evening as well.
If you're making a get-away weekend of it, you may wish to stay overnight in a nearby hotel or guest house and come back in the morning refreshed and ready for a full fun day. (Hotel stay is not included in your event fee. We will include a list of reservation phone numbers and locations of the most convenient places in your confirmation email).
SATURDAY 9AM - 8PM
We will be starting bright an early with hot beverages and the unveiling of the Main Retreat Crafting Package. We will have a full day with lots of fully prepared crafting projects - 5 for each of the two stamp sets. We will have table gifts, special treats, door prizes and prize patrol for everyone throughout the day. At Home attendees will find table gifts, pre-selected door prizes and prize patrol in their boxes too.
PAYMENT
Total retreat cost is $219 In person - $224 At-Home Box. Your non-refundable $130 deposit is required at registration to secure your crafting product order. The balance of your fees is required no later than Sunday April 28th when registration closes.
If you do not complete your final registration payment to attend the event, you will still receive your crafting product (pick up in Upper Tantallon or pay $20 to have it shipped) but you will forfeit door prizes, prize patrol, table gifts and other event attendee perks.
In the event something comes up that you cannot attend after you have registered, you can either transfer your registration to someone else (taking payment from them and letting us know the change), or you can request that we make your retreat an At-Home Box shipped to your home address.
