Packed with scrapbooking supplies, cardstock, patterned papers, embellishments, adhesives, mixed media products and crafty treasures, the shop is available throughout the retreat for those little essentials and those not-so-essential-but-I-absolutely-need-it purchases.

One of the best parts? You can see products in person, chat about ideas, discover new favourites and get inspiration from what other crafters are creating. It's a little bit of shopping, a little bit of enabling, and a whole lot of crafty fun!

Many retreat guests also place orders before the retreat and choose Retreat Pickup, allowing them to have everything ready and waiting when they arrive. It's the perfect way to plan projects ahead of time and maximise your creative weekend.

Just be warned... the Retreat Shop has been known to inspire a few unexpected purchases and plenty of "I wasn't going to buy anything, but..." moments!

JMany of our retreats include fun creative challenges designed to inspire you, encourage you to try something new and add an extra element of fun to the weekend.

The best part? Our challenge entries are not judged. Instead, every completed entry goes into a random prize draw, giving everyone an equal opportunity to win. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crafter, it's all about joining in, having fun and celebrating creativity rather than competition.

Our challenges are designed to be light-hearted, inspiring and enjoyable, making them a great way to step outside your comfort zone, use your supplies in new ways and share your creations with fellow retreat attendees.

Our retreats are about more than just the projects on your table. Throughout the weekend, you'll enjoy music videos playing in the background, creating a fun and uplifting atmosphere while everyone crafts away. We also love a bit of friendly competition with trivia, games and themed activities that bring plenty of laughter and connection.

As the day winds down, settle in for a cosy movie night on the big screen with your crafty friends. It's often these simple moments — singing along to favourite songs, reminiscing over classic movies, sharing laughs during trivia, and enjoying time together — that become some of the most treasured memories of the retreat experience.

There's always something happening beyond the craft table. Enjoy music videos playing throughout the day, adding to the creative energy and sparking plenty of sing-alongs and happy memories. Join in our trivia games, fun challenges and other activities designed to bring everyone together.

When evening arrives, grab a comfy seat for movie night on the big screen and enjoy some well-earned downtime with your crafty friends. These shared experiences often become the highlights of the weekend, creating the perfect mix of creativity, laughter, friendship and fun.

Many of our retreats include optional classes, make-and-take projects and creative demonstrations designed to inspire and spark new ideas. From scrapbooking and cardmaking to mixed media and journalling, you'll have the opportunity to learn new techniques, try different products and create something special to take home.

Classes are always optional, so you can choose to participate or simply continue working on your own projects. It's all about enjoying your creativity, finding inspiration and making the most of your retreat experience.

Throughout the retreat, you'll have the opportunity to participate in optional make-and-takes, product demonstrations, technique showcases and fun creative activities. These relaxed sessions are designed to inspire new ideas, introduce different products and encourage creativity in a supportive environment.

Between crafting, you'll also enjoy plenty of time for conversation, laughter and connection. From sharing ideas across the table to gathering for group activities, our retreats are as much about friendship and community as they are about creativity. It's these shared experiences that help make every retreat feel welcoming, inspiring and memorable.

Absolutely! Many of our guests attend their first retreat knowing nobody at all. One of the things we're most proud of is the warm and welcoming atmosphere at our craft retreats. You'll quickly find yourself chatting with like-minded creative women who share your love of scrapbooking, cardmaking, mixed media and paper crafting. Many lifelong friendships have started at our retreat tables, and new attendees are always made to feel welcome.

Our craft retreats are designed for you to work on whatever creative projects you enjoy most. Many guests bring scrapbooking layouts, cardmaking projects, junk journals, mini albums, mixed media pieces or unfinished projects they've been wanting to complete. The retreat is your creative time, so you can work at your own pace on the projects that inspire you.

Most attendees bring their favourite crafting tools, supplies and projects they would like to work on during the retreat. Before each retreat, we provide information about table space, power access and any special activities so you can pack with confidence.

A craft retreat provides dedicated time away from everyday responsibilities so you can focus on creativity, relaxation and connection. Many attendees tell us they accomplish more crafting in a weekend than they do in several months at home. It's also a wonderful opportunity to find inspiration, learn from others and recharge your creative batteries.

Our retreats are built around community, creativity and connection. We create a friendly environment where crafters can relax, make new friends, share ideas and enjoy their favourite hobby. With themed weekends, fun activities, creative challenges, shopping opportunities and plenty of laughter, our retreats are about much more than just crafting.
