The beginning.....

"If you build it, "they" will come"

this is my new mantra to stop me from doubting how big this new venture will be!!!!

I have two definate venues - check the side bar --------->>>

and I will be booking in dates tomorrow when I call the places

so make sure you "watch this space".

I am still working out final costs as well as which teachers I will assign to which venue

but at least if I can give you an idea of dates this will help

you plan and decide which one you can attend.

I hope you are able to make one next year as I have so many great ideas I want

to do with the 1st years retreats which will be ONE OFF things to celebrate

SFS Designer Retreats 1st Year.

Till I get set booking dates check out the venues and see what you think

they are both great for many different reasons and I can't wait to use both of them.

Welcome to "SFS Designer Retreats" new blog

"...Focus on the journey,

not the destination.

Joy is found not in finishing an activity

but in doing it."

Author: Greg Anderson

and I am having SO much fun right now organising a vast array of Scrapbooking Retreats

with my Assistant Retreat Coordinator

Carol

[AKA My best friend]

We have started viewing venues, measuring conference rooms, checking out accommodation,

testing coffees and reading some YUMMO menus in order to find many different venues

but ones that fit the SFS Designer Retreat requirements.

I have been holding retreats in my home for the past 4 years and love having everyone here, cooking, teaching and scrapping - but it is time to expand and venture away from home giving more scrappers the opportunity to become

'one of the flock'

The SFS Retreat@Pete's Place

will remain the same

-ALWAYS be held the LAST weekend of October

and will ALWAYS be held in my home.

This retreat is generally booked out from year to year but

occasionally a place or two becomes available as a 'one off' attendance

if someone has 'other plans'.

SO please keep an eye out for this retreat information on the

SFS Retreat@Pete's Place blog.

So then what is an "SFS Designer Retreat" and how is this different I hear you ask

- well that's easy.....

these Retreats will be held throughout the year, 4-6 in total, at different venues.{not in my home}

They will be 'designed' by me with each of them having a few differences so no retreat is the same.

I have been emailing some very talented Australian Scrappers to ask them if they would like to teach and demonstrate at one of our 'Designer Retreats' and so far the response has been overwhelming.

Please note if you are a 'Scrapbooking Teacher' and would like to offer your talent to us

PLEASE email me HERE

Also if you have been to a class with a great teacher please let me know about it

as word of mouth is my favourite advertising.

I do not have definite dates and venues lined up to give you today

but I can tell you that "SFS Designer Retreats" have dates put aside in

February

May

June

August

and maybe

November

of 2012.

For 2012 most of these will be held in the Hunter & Central Coast and close surrounding areas

but we will be looking at venturing further a field in the near future.

Retreats will all be inclusive of

Accommodation, Meals, tea & coffee,

morning & afternoon tea, crop room facilities, a goodies bag and demos....

NB: classes will be an extra amount on top of the set retreat cost and will include a

class kit & a list of tools and any extras required.

You will be required to book and pay for your class spot prior to the retreat being held.

So now that I have set out a bit of an idea as to what is happening here

I hope you are all hanging with baited breath for more details so

you can come and experience one of the

1st "SFS Designer Retreats".

Become a follower and please advertise this blog so that ALL scrappers get to be up to
date on this exciting NEW venture I am launching.

I am so happy that after 2 years of "talking about it" has finally paid off and I am getting

some plans set in stone.

I know there will be a retreat to suit everyone

- and if there isn't contact me

and tell me where & when you would like a retreat held [obviously within reason]

- get a group for scrappers together and I will organise and run a full retreat with teachers, classes & scrap shop there for all your needs.

Can't get much easier than that.

So I hope you are now as excited as we are here

let us know by commenting here.
