Stamping with aMac October 2022 Craft Retreat
We had our very first three night retreat!
There was a choice of two or three nights and my crafters loved having an extra day night and day to enjoy!
Thanks so much to all of the wonderful crafters who were able to join us! We had a very creative and fun filled event where we shared ideas, hugs, fun, food, drinks and laughter.
To be honest, I’m exhausted but it was worth every minute to create a place for friends to connect and forget about the other ‘stuff’ that we have happening in life.
We had great weather other than the hail storm… but thank God no cars were damaged!
This was a very much needed, and welcome, weekend of fun for many at beautiful Bornhoffen PCYC in the Gold Coast hinterland.
Have a look at what we got up to…
Here’s a glimpse of the beautiful scenery which we are surrounded by at Bornhoffen…

This Retreat we fundraised for You Have a Friend.
This is a local charity who are 100% not for profit, supporting the homeless, marginalised and single parents/children in the Coolangatta/Tweed district.
We raised an amazing total of $800
The prizes were donated by Stampin’ Up!, Jackie McGee, Jan Howly, Belinda Seaton, Robyn Cavuoto, Marnie P and myself.
Apologies if I missed someone and thank you so much to all of the contributors of the prizes!
There were so many prizes to choose from!!!
I also collected donation cards which I’ll drop of to their Op Shop and they can either donate them or sell them to raise more funds.
My amazing Dazzling Divas Team member Jan Howley, generously created some projects to add to the fundraiser and raised $164, which is included in the tally above.
Thank you Jan.
You are awesome!
I always like to surprise my crafters with little pllow gifts in cute packaging. Here’s what I did for this retreat…
Here’s a few photos of our happy Crafters!

Stamping with aMac March 2022 Craft Retreat
We were so fortunate to be able to go ahead with our March Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat.
After everything that nature has been dishing out lately, everyone was SO excited that we were able to attend! It was a very much needed, and welcome, weekend of fun at Bornhoffen PCYC in the Gold Coast hinterland.
Thanks so much to all of the wonderful crafters who were able to join us!
Have a look at what we got up to…
My car was packed to the max and here’s a bit of the hall set up. I bring all of my card stock and inks as well as a big range of retired product for sale.
Here’s our lovely Goodie bag and the contents worth $100! Everyone received a bonus Sale-a-Bration item of their choice.
Here’s a glimpse of the beautiful scenery which we are surrounded by at Bornhoffen.
Here’s the beautiful display provided by my lovely friend Laura Stranks who is very talented!
Thank you so much Laura.
This Retreat we fundraised for Mater Chicks in Pink. The funds go directly to women affected by breast cancer for things like wigs, mastectomy bras and counselling as well as other services.
I was part of the Fun Run which was changed to a virtual event due to the flooding this year. I received online donations for the retreat fundraiser prior to the retreat as well as donations for our raffle on the day.
We raised an amazing total of $1475 this was including $500 worth of online donations – $975 was raised at the retreat!
The prizes were donated by Stampin’ Up!, Jackie McGee, Belinda Seaton, Robyn Cavuoto, Toni Weir, Marnie P and myself.
