Come join me in the beautiful Adelaide Hills for a wonderful ‘Christmassy ’Crafty Weekend where you can experience some focused time away from it all and learn some fabulous craft techniques using stamps, ink paper and other fun mediums. You will receive a Goody Bag with all the projects kits, a Stamp Set & coordinating Dies, embellishments and full instructions to create CARDS, HOME DECORE & 3D PROJECTS. I will be there to help with any questions or techniques too!

There will be no set agenda so you can craft and create your projects at your own pace. This way, you will have time to relax, learn and have fun while creating beautiful designed projects in your own time.

You will be given a project booklet with all the set projects and full instructions to keep. There will also be video tutorials recorded on a private Facebook page for you to access during and after the event.

Your fabulous weekend begins on Friday whatever time you can arrive. Craft room opens at 10am. Morning tea will be served at 10.30am (it can be put aside for you if need be) with setting up your own table and unpacking all your goodies from your Goodie Bag. Everything you need will be in there. You can explore the Resort Park by taking a leisurely walk around the grounds, sit and relax with a cup of tea or get started on your projects. There will be samples on display so you can see what the completed project will look like.

There will be internet access so you can also log into our private Facebook group to watch the tutorial videos.


This is a perfect opportunity to build up your Christmas card stash ready for December and gain some fresh new ideas using fun and creative techniques in a relaxing environment among friends. You can choose to make as much or as little as you want. Everything you need will be in your kits so you can finish at home if you wish.

We will be using brand new products from the Stampin’ Up! July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue. It will truly be just like Christmas, but a little early!

Those who know me, know that I LOVE to spoil you and try to make your weekend as special as possible. My Christmas Elves will have prizes, pillow gifts, games and other sweet surprises for you throughout the weekend.

Keep in mind that July in the Adelaide Hills can be cold! So, remember to pack layers to keep warm. The craft room will be warm and comfortable as will your cabins with air conditioning and electric heated beds!

Please feel free to bring along any other projects you wish to work on.

The food is delicious, the setting is beautiful, the accommodation lovely and the time away precious!

Refund Policy

Due to the time, effort, personal details, planning and investment put into this intimate event far in advance for everyone attending, all deposits and payments are 100% non-refundable. In the unlikely event the retreat is cancelled by the attendee or organiser due to illness or COVID restrictions you will have an option to attend a rescheduled event or have your Goodie bag and gifts sent to you to create at home.

There is also an option for you to transfer your spot to another if you can find someone.

Cancellations of accommodation is between you and the Resort…keeping in mind, you will need to settle the fees with your cabin buddy (unless you can find someone to take your place in the cabin, out of fairness and consideration, you will be required to still honour your share of the fee).


Any more questions? Please send me a message, I’d love to help.


I am very excited about this event; I believe it will be fun and magical and a perfect time to spend 3 fabulous days indoors crafting during the cold and woolly days of winter! I can’t wait to start designing all the beautiful projects and sharing them with you.

Looking forward to seeing you there,


Hugs,
