What a Sweet Retreat

We had our Retreat back in March at Mudjimba....and what a sweet retreat it was! It was a cupcake theme...from the bags all decorated, to the sweet recipe cupcake book...crazy thing was, there wasn't a real cupcake in the place!! Fat Free, Sugar Free!!! Well there were heaps of lollies....and lots of laughs! Here's a couple of pics to share....

That wave was for you Robyn.

We had games and competitions all weekend, Make and Takes, and it was great just how many projects were made.....amazing what a weekend without interruptions and housework can create!!!

Even tatts were "scrapped"!!

We will be having another retreat next year, however the next best thing is our twelve hour crop scheduled for Sat 24th October.....stay tuned!

For the love of SHOES!!!

We wanted to create something a little kooky for Valentine's Day, so we thought we'd scrap Shoes!!! One of our other little passions!!!!! Mum covered one in Paper, I floral punched and went bananas with crafty stickers....Mum went beserk on kindy glitz.....so much so, we all wished they'd fit us and that we'd have matching pairs!!!! Pretty sad huh!!! But just like you can never have too much paper.....you can never have too many shoes!!!! Tee hee!

Kylie's Classes

Kylie creates the coolest cards!!!! She loves incorporating punches, ribbons - this lot even uses napkins!! Her love of texture means you'll always have lumpy bumpy embellishments. Check the Newsletter for her next lot of Cardmaking Classes!

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009

Well, I found it....my blog!!!! Nov '07 was the last time I wrote in this. That was my New Years resolution last year to get computer savvy and blog.... This year, no resolutions....I'm just doin' it. I'm here behind the computer on my own doing this....no help from Robyn who's still in Abu Dhabi, (She was the one who got me onto this!!) So we'll just wing it! I plan to post photos of what we're all up to here in Passion for Paper. We've had loads of Christmas classes, and now the kids classes will be coming up. We've had our "resident" mini-crafters making all sorts of stuff at the moment too, so I'll post some photos of that. If you hear the "B" (bored) word around your way, you'll know what to do!!! Just bring 'em on down!!! I'm looking forward to a new year as well, with so many things planned for Passion for Paper in the new year, it'll be exciting to get into it. We have our retreat too, so that'll be great. And while the shop's shut, I hope to get in and do a huge tidy up! I was in a photo shoot with Point Shoot Play girls and I'm hanging out for those photos too and so I'll have that to look forward to scrapping as well as all those Christmas photos. I seem to find I don't take nearly enough photos over Christmas, but I'll try to this year. Well, rambling on... this blogging's kind of like type-talking to yourself....I'll get the hang of it!! Anyhoo, have a Merry Christmas, take heaps of photos!

Perfect Gift Idea!!!

Flower Pot Pens.....This is a pen with the lid in the pot - perfect for teacher presents, to keep on at the telephone. This class was great fun - I don't know how many made it as gifts...everyone loved their own they couldn't part with them!!!!
