After a chat with Sue last night, we decided that perhaps we should clarify exactly what this scrapathon is about.
While we had been discussing it for a while (Sue, Meredith and myself) the whole idea seemed a bit daunting.....
there was a date that had to be decided and booked. With footy, local shows and then windrowing we knew it would be tricky to fit it in.
and then there was the pressure of it all and this is basically what this post is about.
If you are coming along to this please do not expect a retreat like we have in March. There will be no goodie bags, no classes, no competitions, no prizes. It is quite simply an opportunity to sit and scrap as long as you want, sleep over and scrap again the next day. You will be disappointed if you expect all the bells and whistles of our March retreat.
Sue, Meredith and myself would love to go to a retreat where we can just sit and scrap with the rest of you. Kick back and enjoy without the pressure of organizing classes, food, kits, goodies, giveaways etc. Don't get me wrong - we love doing this for our March retreat but it is a big stress time. Nothing at all relaxing for us about it.
This is a total NO FRILLS basic scrapathon.
At Karkoo there is also no bed situation. We will be camping out in an old hall - in swags on the floor. (byo swags!) Unless you want to bring your own caravan or sleep in the car. Again - nothing fancy. It is very basic and that old hall is very cold so bring lots of blankets!!!
We would love as many people to come as possible and i know it will be a great success with everyone pitching in but we wanted to clarify that everyone is on the same page with how basic this will be.
Just a big girls sleep over with no frills.
Hope to see you there!
