Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas crafters!
Just a quick note to let you know that I will be taking a short break from today until 3 January 2024.
I would like to thank you all for supporting me in various ways through out the year.
It’s been a pleasure having you at my classes, workshops, fundraisers, retreats, interacting with my Facebook page and shopping with me! It’s all very much appreciated.
It’s been an extremely busy year on many fronts and challenging in many ways but we’ve made it through.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. I hope the New Year brings you good health, happiness, laughter, blessings and lots of crafting.
Even though I’ll be having a break my shop will still be open if you feel the need to shop and registration is open for the next retreat 😉
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄🤶
Looking forward to sharing in the New Year with you.
Inky hugs

Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat – October 2023
I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all who came to our Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat last week/ weekend.
The purpose of the retreat is to provide a pleasant and creative getaway for everyone who attends.
What a wonderful time we had together; sharing, caring, laughing, crying, eating drinking, crafting and recharging our batteries.
Here’s some photos to share our wonderful experience with you.
There’s a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into preparing these events. I always have amazing helpers which make the job more fun and much faster!
Thank you Maree for helping me design the bag and place tags, the pillow gift decorations and make and takes.
Thank you Robyn C, Janet, Jackie M and Jackie D for all of your help with prepping before the event!

I try to fit as much as possible in without squashing anything!
I don’t like things sliding around so every nook and cranny is filled, mostly due to necessity.
Bornhoffen is in the beautiful, serene Numinbah Valley and everyone enjoys the surrounds.
There’s just something so relaxing about stopping and looking at the beautiful valley, seeing and listening to all the different birds and enjoying the nature. It’s so peaceful.
I received some feedback over the weekend which sums it up perfectly:
"The food is amazing, the company is fantastic, the scenery is sensational and having the opportunity to relax and focus is very healing for the mind, body and soul".Janet KStamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Stamping with aMac Craft Retreat October 2023Helping me set up was my childhood friend Jackie and cousin Mariann, who both came all the way from Sydney for the retreat, along with my Dazzling Divas team member Elaine.
Setting up was a breeze! Thank you ladies 😊
I always hold a fundraiser for a worthy cause and this time, together with our amazing group of craft ladies we raised an incredible total $1,072 to support Black Dog Institute.
The Black Dog Institute is dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental illness.
We had a majority of the prizes kindly donated by Jackie McGee as well as additional prizes donated by Wendy L, Kylie-Jean M, Robyn C, Leanne C and thanks to anyone else I may have missed.
My Dazzling Divas Team Member Jan organised an additional raffle raising $95 and Kylie-Jean had a clearance pile for gold coin donations and raised $57 which was all added to the fundraiser.
The beautiful display board full of Stampin’ Up! goodness.
This retreat has the specific purpose of:
- Togetherness – gathering with like-minded people
- Mindfulness – ‘running away’ from home to recharge your batteries
- Joy – providing a positive, fun and relaxing experience
- Giving – sharing ideas, making connections and supporting a charity
We always have a wonderful time catching up at our retreats!
It’s amazing how small the world is. We had a few ladies discover that they lived in the same street in Canberra while they were growing up.
We also had a purple theme on Saturday in case you are wondering why so many are dressed in purple.
Here’s a few photo’s capturing the togetherness and joy we shared.

What can I say about the food?
I had so many ladies comment how good the food is, how much there is and how satisfied they are with it! We are so well looked after, especially the dietary requirements.
The GF and DF range was so amazing.
