Hi Ladies

Firstly I would like to wish you and your families, a Happy and Safe Easter. I hope you can all get a rest and maybe some scrapping done.

Now, did you know it is just 25 more sleeps, wow, how exciting.

Many of you will know that our Retreats are famous for our Massages. Yes Daniela and Jess will again be honouring us with their presence, and their hands LOL.

Ok, it is really really important that everyone prebooks the massages. This is so that the Massagers can plan their time, and that we can have them for as long as we need.

The cost is $22 per 20 minute session. You many have as many 20 min sessions as you like, whether you combine it to be an hour, or have 20 min one day and 20 min the next day, that is also ok.

They will be coming on both Saturday and Sunday. So yes you will be able to have a massage both days if you like.

If you have never had one before, both ladies are qualified Remedial Massagers, no Beauty Salon stuff here. And you can take it from me, that they are very very good at what they do.

They bring along their massage tables, and the massages are done in the privacy of one of the bedrooms. So you can have a full body massage, or you can choose for them to work on your "problem areas", whatever you prefer. Most ladies who have had the chance to experience the massages from Daniela and Jess before, rebook every retreat.

Please give me a call at the shop on 3378 7257, or email me to book in. Payment is made directly to the massagers on the day in cash please.

See you all soon

Pre-Retreat Evening

Hi everyone,

On Tuesday 13th April from 5pm to 7pm we will be having a Pre-Retreat evening. Come along to view the 4 fabulous workshops that we will be creating at the Retreat. On the night we will be able to let you know any additional requirements for each of the workshops plus photo requirements.

See you then, Kerri

Challenge Kit Sneak Peaks

Hi again

I forgot to mention that we have also purchased the Challenge Kit products. I have told the SBC Design Team about these products and they are nearly "wetting" themselves with excitement about this beautiful product range.

Ok so the kits are for sale, they are $50. I have just added up the value of them and the retail price of the kits is $100. So you need to secure one quickly, this time there is only 18 up for grabs (which makes them a HOT, HOT item), but unfortunately you need to pay now upfront.

Sorry no money no kit. Nasty aren't we.

Some clues to whats in the kit

- the collections are from a Company we have never had in the store before

- there is 2 collections, and you could say 1 collection is girlie, and the other boyish

Check out the pictures I hope you like!!!!!

April Retreat

Hello Everyone,

Can you believe it is just 70 more sleeps until the April Retreat, YAY.

Now I will start with the yukkie things 1st if I may........

Everyone should have now have paid a deposit of at least $200, if you have not done this, please, please call us today on 3378 7257, this will save us a phone call to you, Thank you.

Final payment is due by 9th April. Please consider a payment plan if you don't already do this, we are more than happy to help you with this.

Ok, now onto the fun stuff.........

Don't forget the dates are Friday 23rd April until Monday 26th April. The Monday is the Anzac Day Public holiday, so no need to take a sickie.

The price of $375 includes all meals, starting with dinner on Friday night (approx 6pm), 3 nights accomodation (don't forget your linen and towels) plus 4 wonderful workshops.

Now speaking of workshops, some of you will know that we have now purchased all the class kits whilst we were in the States, and of course, in true Scrapbook City style, you will be receiving lots of goodies, which is all new, new, new. We couldn't be seen creating in last seasons products, could we now LOL.

Now we just love Prima Flowers, and I know we have done this before, but we could not resisit, these beautiful flowers. So Workshop #1 is a Layout using Prima products, and of course lots and lots of NEW Prima Flowers. Check out the Sneak Peak at the top of the page.

Now Workshop #2, is using products that we haven't really had much in the store before. You will create 2 Layouts and 2 Cards, and you will need to bring an extra suitcase to take home all the product you will receive in the class. Needless to say you will have lots of leftovers. Stay tuned for Sneak Peaks for this workshop.

Workshop #3, is our "Off the Page" project, and we have decided to go with a beautiful work of art on a "Canvas". Both Kerri and I were both blown away when we saw this project, we are really excited about this.

And Workshop #4, is our Album Workshop. An Album with a twist this time, check out the photo up the top of this page. The Album stand, the Album itself, and the papers, and all the wonderful blingie things are all from 7gypsies. We hope this will take pride of place in your home.

That's it for now ladies, but coming soon, we will have more detailed info for you regardings photos and tools etc.

Don't forget about our Retreat Preview Night, if your not sure what this is give us a call at the shop.

Bye for now

Leisa and Kerri
