~Retreat~

We are excited to finally be able to announce the details of our inaugural Imagination Factory Annual Retreat.

It will be held at Cave Hill Creek, a short drive from Beaufort, in an idyllic bush setting.

The dates are Friday afternoon/evening the 17^th of October to Sunday afternoon the 19^th of October, 2008.

The cost for the weekend is $150 per person. Which includes accommodation, meals (excluding Friday afternoon/evening), and outdoor activies.

Just bring along your scrapbooking, quilting, embroidery or any craft supplies & be prepared for a weekend of fun & friendship. Ian & Julie from C.H. host Scrapbooking weekends for other groups frequently & are well request in what crafters request.

In cases of extreme weather, you can thaw out in front of the roaring log fire, or take a dip in the adjoining lake to cool down. The overhead lighting is great, & the natural light is even better.

So Mark it in your diary, and if you would like to attend, you need to fill out this form:Download IMG.pdf  & either mail it or bring it to The Imagination Factory with $50 non- refundable deposit to secure your spot.

Unfortunately, numbers are limited, so we will be accepting bookings in order of deposit received. (Phone payment of deposit may also be made by credit card) Balance of deposit may be paid off; full details will be distributed to customers after booking in. Hope to see you there!

Happy Scrapping,

Tracey, Stacey & Fiona

*School Holidays*

School holidays are finally here and what a long term it has been.  Our children's classes are already fully booked (sorry to those who missed out) - we will hopefully schedule 2 classes per week next holidays.

We raised $633 at our resent Melissa Frances/bumble bee workshop day and were very happy to be able to donate this whole amount to Dragons Abreast. The ladies were so grateful that 10 members attended the store to accept our cheque & present us with a lovely certificate of appreciation.  Hopefully some photos will be published in the Courier soon.

As usual  we have lots of new stock arriving, including Prima paper, flowers & embellishments, and the new nifty paint dabbers from ranger and not forgetting the beautiful range of bloom from KI Memories.

If you're interested in the calendar layout, then a bit of preparation is needed ahead of time.  we ask that you take your camera with you everyday for the month of July and try to take at least 1 picture per day. most of these images are then heavily cropped & used in a single layout -good luck!

until next time
