Spring 2013

Hi Ladies!
 
I am excited about next weekend. There are only 15 of us so far, so I  had to email the camp to see if it is still viable for them to have us come up. I've told them that we were prepared to use the downstairs area, since there are not very many of us. We will all have our own table, on the positive side of things!! Also, Miranda, our masseuse, knows that there are only 14 ladies going. We have 5 - 60 minute sessions planned for her, and 1- 30 minute sessions. If anyone else is thinking about having a massage, you can pay her at the camp, but she just wants to know in advance, so she can decide if it is viable for her to come up, since she has to pay the fee, as well.

If you know of anyone else who is wanting to come, please bug them to email me, so I can get the final numbers to the camp before the weekend.
That's all!
Last time we had a group this small it was nice and intimate.  IT will be so nice and QUIET!!! he he he! NIce and relaxing with TONS of room for us to craft!!
If you have any questions, and if you want to add a massage session ($1 per minute) please email me back!!
Enjoy the rainy Sunday (a great time to scrapbook!!)
 
Cheers;
Dunja

One of the classes offered will be similar to this one above with 12 cards in total. Twelve delightful pretty homemade holiday cards go a long way especially since Christmas is far enough away for you to make more of these kinds of cards. We'll be getting out the glue, glitter, spray bottles, embossing powders there will be plenty of sponging going on. These cards are definitely sponge worthy!
