Classes

I can now announce what the 3rd class is
Blind Scrapping....
A class with a difference - step by step instructions with measurements and placements but without seeing a sample page for guidance...
Challenge yourself and come and join in on this creative fun class. The class is $12 per person with the WHOLE amount going to MD.
This class will be taught by Peta McBeth from http://www.scrapbookingfromscratch.com/index.html
Now a few very clever ladies guessed that the 3rd class would be blind scrapping and have booked in already, so if this is something that would interest you do not leave it to long to book.

Do not forget that we have two other classes available on the day taught by Marion Werren http://marionspassionforscrappin.blogspot.com/ and Jen Hall http://www.jenhall.typepad.com/ if you are unfamiliar with their work check out their blogs, you will be amazed by their talents. Both these classes are at least 1/2 full so do not leave it much longer to book.

None of the teachers have planned out their classes at this stage, i would not expect this for at least another month or so and as soon as i know more i will post information on the blog.

I will be back soon to announce some exciting information about some recent pledges i have received for donations

its all happening

Hi Girls

just popping in quickly to let you know that i am still here and am really busy with all the fundraiser planning.
Last night i emailed all the ladies who have been in touch with me about booking tables, if you did not receive an email from me please contact me ASAP on newcastlefundraiser@hotmail.com
If your table is fully paid for I did not send an email.
On the class front, places are filling up very quickly for Marion and Jen's classes. I also confirmed a 3rd class last night and will be back with more details very soon, just waiting to hear back from the teacher, but i can say this class is a little different from the normal class.
Pledges for donations are starting to roll and i will have more detail very soon.

At the moment new bookings are on hold until i can confirm that all the ladies who are booked are still attending. However I have started up a waiting list, so please email me if you are interested.

update

Hi Ladies

sorry for being a bit slack on the updates this year. A lot has been on going both for me and for the fundraiser.
On Fundraiser news: there are not many seats left so please get in quick so you do not miss out. We are limited to 75 people so when i reach this number i do have to stop bookings.
I have donations rolling in already, two companies that have pledged prizes already for this year are www.scrapbookingfromscratch.com and www.scrapboutique.com.au both are local stores so please show your support. Thank you to both these stores for showing their support it means a lot to MD, myself and all my little helpers.
Sasha at www.shopandcrop.com.au is also lending her support again this year as the shop on the day. If you live in Newcastle you can find Shop and Crop in Elder St Lambton.
Unfortunately i am unable to announce any information about the 3rd class, but i can say their will be a 3rd class again this year.
Jen and Marion have not made their plans for their classes, i would not expect this to happen for another couple of months yet. But if you are a fan of either of these ladies and would like to do the class without seeing a sample bookings are open (and also filling fast)

As of next weekend i will be away for 3 weeks, so if you email me and do not get a response please do not panic or get upset with me. I promise to reply as soon as i return home.

great response

Well ladies i am blown away by the response so far.
I already have 14 ladies booked in.....i seriously didn't expect anyone to start booking till next year.

Marion Werren and Jen Hall have confirmed that they will be returning as teachers again next year.........thanks ladies your support is amazing (check out the side bar for links to their blogs.) But if you would like to take one of their class now you can find a great online Xmas class by Marion here www.scrapbookdivas.com.au Jen teaches once a week @ www.shopandcrop.com.au

Shop and Crop have agreed to return as our shop.....thanks Sasha, your support really means a lot. visit the shop in Elders St Lambton or visit on line www.shopandcrop.com.au

Michelle from www.scrapbookdivas.com.au has something big planned to help us raise money before the fundraiser even gets here. Will post more information in the new year.

Once again Edgeworth Bowling club as generously donated the room hire for FREE. Last year a few people (ok maybe more than a few) experience bad service and food while dining at Edgeworth bowling club, I can assure you that will not be the case next year. There is a new bistro at the club, the staff are extremely organised and the food is good.
