Today I spent the day with the lovely ladies at Scotties Crafts. They are preparing for the Sanzi Craft Tools weekend with the amazing team from Spellbinders and Sanzi.
It looks like a fabulous weekend. 4 classes, make n takes and a goodie bag worth minimum $175 for $275.
I am lucky to be involved in helping out. I can't wait. Especially after what I saw today. Bring it on! I hope to see you there!
But that's not all that's going on in NZ THIS year.
Louise has her Indulgance retreat coming up shortly. I believe September 7th? Janine Koczwara is coming over from Aussie and I get to meet her for the first time afterwards and I can't wait!
Prima is coming 'down under' again. Who is hosting this year? What dates do we have?
I'll be down in the South teaching for Artfull Crafts at their weekend retreat in Mid September (14th and 15th). Can't wait!!!!! For more details click here. I'll also get to meet Lowri McNabb for the first time. A big plus for me. I totally rate her scrapbooking and creativity. Amazing artist!!!!
Plus Nic and Lucy's Spring Escape is coming up mid October. Nic and Lucy have been putting on their Taupo escapes for a number of years now and they're always a huge success. I believe they have Paula Cheney coming 'down under' this year who is now working with Tim Holtz. What an incredible opportunity to learn from a top notch tutor!
So what else is coming up? What have I missed? I'd love to know of other retreats going on around NZ this year.
Let me know!
Lots happening and I can't wait to meet you Trina!! It is only about 3 weeks time!

Oh I so wish I could have been there today stupid cough! It better get better with the anti bugs I got today!
Another couple of events coming next not including Scrapfest :) is creative adventure downunder in may with Heidi Swapp, Teresa Collins and Donna Downey as well as NZ s own Maggie Armstrong. And finnabair in March!
I will be at Louise's retreat manning the shop and have chosen Scrapfest next year as the tutors are awesome and it's at a stunning Venue! We are thinking of having a family holiday at the same time as the kids have not been to the South Island and Andrew will look after the kids while I am at Scrapfest. So looking forward to it!
