Scrap secrets..

i got this on the email today.. please leave a comment to let us know youre intersted.

New Site coming soon featuring crop days and retreats.
Starting May ..
Crops and retreats will be held in different parts of Victoria, so that even our country cousins can attend.
Online stores and kit clubs, scrapping stores, are more than welcome to attend to have a shop at the crop days or retreats..
Costs will be dependant upon location, at the moment we are just interested to see what people are looking for in a retreat, and a crop day.. what kind of things do you like to see at crop days retreats? Good venue, food, do you want a shop close by or at the retreat? Would you like classes to be available, or do you just want to do your own thing? how much do you want to pay ??
Goodie bags, theme nights -?? Tell us what you think here on scrapcalls (leave as many comments as you like) and you will be entered in the draw for a free crop at one of our venues.
Competition closes on the 25 th April 2011.

Thanks.



So leave a post and win..
