2011 Craft Retreat Teachers

While you are waiting for registration forms to come out (next week, I hope!), I thought you would like to know who our teachers will be this year. If you have been to previous retreats, you will recognise most of the names: 

• Val Laird - Val Laird Designs and her blog
• Kris Meares - the Tag Along Teddies' lady and her blog
• Liz Whittaker from Scrap n Patch and Facebook page
• Leanne Midgley who will teach folk art
• Tonya - The Crafty Mummy and her Facebook page

Of course, you can bring your own craft project to do (or reading, or whatever else you might want to do!) and enjoy a relaxing weekend away. Make sure you tell your friends and family about it - it's a great, affordable retreat and caters for those who are on a budget... and those who aren't! You will find photos of previous years in the photo tab to give you an idea of what we get up to!

You can also start making goodies to sell at the craft stall if you are that way inclined and if you want to be really organised, you could start thinking about your name tag - whether you make a fancy one or whether you will just right your name on a piece of paper! It's up to you.

Some Updates for 2011

You may have noticed a few changes here at the Creative Craft Retreat blog. Do you like the green for this year?

For a start, I'm not Janelle! I'm Tonya and I'm a friend of Janelle's who is helping out a little here in the Blogosphere. I usually blog over at the The Crafty Mummy. Nice to meet you!

You can now get updates in some new ways:

• Via email - by entering your email address in the little box in the sidebar over there you will get all new posts in your Inbox. Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.
• Via Facebook - at our new Facebook page here you can chat on our wall and read updates as they appear.

You can now email to our new email address: CreativeCraftRetreat {at} gmail {dot} com

The Retreat is being held at the end of October this year - Friday 28th to Sunday 30th. Janelle is currently working on finalising all the details and getting the Registration process ready so watch out for more information soon.

(Don't tell her I told you but she has been a little busy though... See what she has been up to here. What a clever lady!)
