Hope your week is starting superbly.  We have all your favourite classes on this week.  Thursday night is Crop Night and Scrapbooking Techniques with Tracy then Friday night is Mega Crop night with 6hours of scrapbooking madness.

Our recent Saturday scrapbooking workshop was very enjoyable with our scrapbookers getting right whizzy and twinkly with the sewing machine and glitter.   We have prepared another goodie coming up for Saturday 2nd June especially for those of you who find the evenings a bit much of a challenge.

It's no secret I have turned homebody of late.  Gardening, baking, crafting (of course!) and now pets.  It was a hard choice whether to scrapbook the bunnies or the chooks (sorry kids! hehe)  anyways bunnies it is.  Parsnip and Blue feature again in this Saturday workshop layout.  Of course your photos might be children, family, location, wedding.... anything! Such a versatile composititon and colour scheme. Note the little pink detail on Blue's side?  Makes it a bit more girlie if you choose.  Enjoy a couple of hours scrapbooking Saturday afternoon of Queens Birthday weekend.  By the way, children are welcome to attend this workshop if they bring an adult to assist.  

Phone 09 912 0665 to book or for further information.
