Hi Everyone,

Here are the last minute things that you will need to know with only 4 sleeps to go.

First, the time for arrival on Friday afternoon will be from 4pm.

Next, here are the final pictures for the Workshops over the weekend.

Workshop 1 - Prima Layout

Everyone will love this beautiful layout - photo size required will be 5" x 7" - however we have cropped this to 5" x 6". Using a landscape photo would also suit this layout. Additional requirements will be the printed paper - what has been used is pages out of an old novel. You will also require some ribbon (left side of page) to go through the canvas. We have used black as it blends in with the background of the photo.

Workshop 2 - Queen and Co Layouts

You will not believe the amount of product that you will receive for this project. You will not need any further items for these. We will also have some other layouts that might inspire you with any of your leftover items.

Workshop 3 - Canvas

The finished size of this canvas is 20" x 16". The only extra item that you will need is paint for the sides of the canvas. We have used a lemon colour, however a chocolate brown or bronze colour would work very well also. We will have paint out at the retreat for purchase if you do not have any. The photos are 3" x 2 1/2" portrait - however an 8" x 6" photo would work just as well. Alternatively you could change the canvas to landscape instead of portrait.

Workshop 4 - 7 Gypsies Photo Stand

We will be supplying the majority of the product for this workshop, however there will be extras available for sale at the retreat. There are a few different ways that you could use this, as a photo album - one customer said it would be great for a baby album as the colours are dusty pinks and blues. Another would be to use it as a perpetual calendar.

We will be posting a timetable for the weekend shortly.

See you there!!

Final Payment

Hi Ladies

Final payment is now due, please call us on 3378 7257 with your credit card, or pop in and see us.

Many thanks
Leisa

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
Leisa
