Stamping with aMac March 2022 Craft Retreat
March 14, 2022 /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.
Thank you so much to all of the contributors of the prizes!
There were so many prizes to choose from!!!
Here’s all of our lovely crafters.
I’ve received such wonderful feedback and I’m so happy everyone had such a wonderful time and loved the retreat.
Thanks so much for coming everybody!

Stamping with aMac July 2021 Craft Retreat
August 1, 2021 /Apologies for the lateness of this Craft Retreat post – my website had been down for a bit over a week but is back on deck now.
What a wonderful weekend getaway we had. We were so very fortunate to enjoy it given the current COVID-19 circumstances.
I arrived early to set up the room with the help of Maree, Robyn and Theresa 😘
At this retreat, we were fundraising for Bornhoffen PCYC to buy flyscreens for the windows of the hall. This will benefit us greatly in the warmer months when moths and beetles are attracted to the lights at night.
We raised an amazing $630 and I’ve been informed that the screens are getting installed in 2 weeks’ time!
Thanks so much to everyone’s generosity!
We had some wonderful displays…
We also celebrated Toni’s birthday with a lovely fresh cake!
Here’s our wonderful groups of crafters who had a great time with good fun being had by all!
Here’s just some of the MANY projects that were created over the weekend. Some ladies were very productive!
A huge THANKYOU to all you who came and extra thanks to all those who helped out in various ways. I really appreciate you. 😘
Looking forward to our next retreat 12-15 November. Let me know if you want to join us!
Happy Stamping,
Angela 😊x
