Hi again Girls
Just a quick reminder for you all to get in your registrations for the next crop. I know it is a crazy time of year and some of you may be busy with other Christmas parties. There will be many more days to come.
For those of you who are wondering where we will park on the day - don't stress.
McCanns - next door closes at 12.30 - this is one of the reasons for the time change. Also there is parking behind Pegasus antiques.
Had a few people not happy about the change - please try and understand that this is a trial and we will see how it works out in comparison to the church. If you knew how long it takes to set up at the church you would all understand why I am jumping at the chance to try out the new workshop area. Just the fact that the workshop area is permanently set up is a bonus in itself. Im sure you will all tell me which you like better after the day.
Little bit of news - Kylie Hatton, one of our regular ladies who attends the crops - went into labour early and has had a little baby boy - Mason. Can you believe she emailed me shortly afterwards and said that all she could think was now she can attend the next workshop. Congratulations Kylie and IF you are feeling up to it we would love you to drop it and say hi....make sure you bring your new little bundle to show us all...
Look forward to catching up with many more of you again in a couple of weeks.
love
Lissy

Christmas (December) Workshop
The time has come and finally the registration form our next Crop for A cause workshop is available for download over yonder on the right side of this blog.
After the huge success of the first ever 100 - 1 Scrap off - we are going to hold the next workshop in the Kaisercraft Factory Outlet workshop area (back of the shop)
This is truly exciting..... Well for me it is - the workshop area is awesome and it means I don't have to set up tressles and lugg around stock as it is already done. If you haven't checked out the new outlet and said hi to Chez in there then you are seriously missing out but at least this will give you a good excuse to have a look.
As it could be difficult for parking in the morning for such a large number of you - we have decided to change the times for this one....(and see how is goes) as after 12.30 there will be extra places to park next door. Before I woffle on too much here are the details and if you would like to register please get all forms to me as soon as possible.
WHEN: Saturday 6th December
TIME: 1pm - 11pm
Dinner is included (bring your own snack/lollies etc or rest of day)
WHERE: Kaisercraft Factory Outlet
506-508 Latrobe Blvd, Geelong. (next to Pegasus Antiques and McCanns)
COST: $25 - $35 (Depending on kit)
PLEASE BRING ALONG A NON PERISHABLE FOOD ITEM or something to add to the Christmas hampers.
Money raised throughout the day (sales and raffles etc) will be given to Debbie Grinter for the Leukemia foundation and the Christmas hampers will be given out to some of the families we have helped out during the year.
$25 - Come along, bring some friends and just scrap and chat for the day - dinner included
$35 - For this you also get all the new December paper releases for FREE (This is 12 new double sided papers - 3 new paper collections)
Please make sure you mark down what you want on your registration form.
Numbers are strictly limited and places will only be reserved for those who have paid and registration forms have been returned.
Close off date is STRICTLY 30th November.
For those of you who haven't yet attended a Crop for A Cause, bring along what you are working on at present and enjoy some well earned time out, meet lots of new friends, lots of laughs and hopefully actually get some scrapping done - all whilst helping out someone at the same time. As I say by outselves we may feel that we can't do much but together we can make a difference.
Look forward to catching up with you all then.

100 to 1 - Kaisercraft Scrap Off
Hi girls, just me again
This time this has nothing to do with Crop for a Cause but it is for a cause just the same….
Just letting you all know of an event some of you may be interested in. Would love to see many of the familiar faces from our workshops.
This is about that event I mentioned at the last workshop – You all know the shows on TV – Ready steady Cook etc etc, well we are having our own scrapbooking version – Paper, scissors, Cut….. Ok well not quite but ....
It’s the Kaisercraft Scrap Off….
Kaisercraft are holding a 100 to 1 Scrap Off competition
– 8th November. This is something you won’t want to miss. Be apart of this and possibly see yourself on our planned DVD. We have an exciting day planned for those participating and something you probably have never done before - I know I haven’t seen this happen before.
I am personally inviting you all now as Im not sure if you plan on getting into the outlet prior to this date. This event has strictly limited places. What I CAN’T do is hold a place for you. You will need to register and pay yourself through the outlet.
If you are interested visit the new outlet shop on the 11th October to pick up registrations forms etc. These will all have to be handed in from 18th October to receive kits.
It does cost $30 to enter but believe me when I say the kit for the first rounds are well worth it. You will then have two weeks to complete a project with what you are given.
ALL money raised will be going towards the Kaisercraft causes – orphanages, homes etc
Lorraine Bate from Scrapbook Creations Magazines will be down from Sydney and is sponsoring one of the rounds(prize is awesome), along with Fiskars sponsoring another round.
Winner will receive a $300 Kaiser gift voucher to spend on their choice of products. There will be other door prizes (vouchers $150, $50, $25) and giveaways on the day.
Feeling that you all NEED to register….lol… are you feeling it yet???
Come on out and support the kids again and have a fun day out.
If you are knocked out in one of the earlier rounds feel free to hang around and scrap…..
Download information here. If you need further info feel free to email me regarding this, otherwise see Chez at the outlet.
Feel free to pass this onto any friends but please note – this is event is limited to the first 100 people only. It is being advertised through the outlet and on the Kaiser site - so don't leave it to late to register.
Please note:
The new outlet shop hours are 9 am – 5.30pm Monday – Saturday
(not as in attached flyer)
Hope to see you all there on the day….

Scrapbooking Cruise - woo hoo
As mentioned at the workshop, here is the informtion about the cruise...
A SCRAPBOOKING Cruise - how does that sound.
Are you tempted yet..
21st November - 1st December 2009
Whitsundays, Great Barrier Reef etc etc
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Rhapsody of the Sea
10 days -24 hour private work room
Prizes, Giveaways
and guess what??????
If being picked as one the Masters this year wasn't enough, I have been asked to take the classes/workshops onboard this cruise... As well as an awesome opportunity
How much fun is this going to be. I still can't quite believe I have been asked to do this as I thought that maybe they may be after a bigger "name" if you know what I mean but still totally stoked to be asked and can't wait. Hope I don't get sea sick!!!!
What would be even better though and make the trip even more unforgetable would be if some of you guys who I know could come too...
Check out the details HERE and download all the info.
Have a read and if you have any queries you can email me or Lorelle, the organiser on lorelle@thecruisecrew.com
Also the deposit has been reduced to only $100, so get your names in early. You even have a whole year to save up.
We are going to have so much fun - if you think Kaisercraft has some great products out - wait until you see what we have planned for this.
These crafting cruises happen regularly in America but rarely here so why not make the most of this opportunity...

Thanks to EVERYONE who attended workshop
Huge thank you to all ladies who attended the last workshop. Apologies for the heating but as you saw the function room isn't quite complete but by the next one can pretty much guarantee it will be a bit warmer. The views were worth it though, weren't they???
Thinking all you ladies need a bit more practice with the handballing skills though. Only gave away two prize packs. Anyway lets hope the Mighty Cats and their skills are better this Saturday. Car'n the Cats.... back to back would be nice..
Tracey was a little dumbstruck when we called her up and handed her the cheque. She honestly didn't guess it was for her so it was a lovely surprise. A few teary eyes when we placed the song
"PROUD" - by Heather Small. It says it the song "What have you done today to make you feel proud?" and I just hope that everyone who attended did feel proud of themselves for what they achieved that day and for helping out Tracey in a small way....
Anyway a huge thank you again to the Winter family for cooking and catering for us. They do such an awesome job and it just wouldn't be the same without your support, thanks Robyn and Terry for everything (and family too) and also to Raqual at Chandon for her genereous discount vouchers, and helping out with the Cricut machine etc.... The poor machine sure got broken in as it was running hot all day. Thinking though at the next workshop there will be page limit for everyone at a time as there were some people waiting for quite some time for a go....
Also thanks to all who helped with set up and pack up
Thanks to Fiskars for the aprons, and Scrapbook Creations for the magazines and naturally Kaisercraft for the goodies in the showbags....
Next workshop is still planned for 6th December - more information regarding cause to follow.

Only a Week Away
Not sure if you are getting excited - but I am. This workshop has come around fast and its now only a week away.
For those of you who are interested we have 80 participants paid up and registered. Registrations have now closed so I am hoping you haven't missed out. The blinkin' footy is keeping a few away - and then we have hubby's who just don't get it that us girls NEED to scrap for 12 hours... and why not ...
We have been given some wonderful donations from Fiskars and Scrapbook Creations and am really appreciative of their support. Lots of other little prizes and raffles throughout the day so remember to bring your small change.... The "Cause" for the day will be revealed on the day but Im sure you will all believe me when I say it is a worthy one....
Another exciting thing is I have finally purchased us Cricut Expressions machine to have for the workshops- this will be demonstrated on the day and there for you to use (not abuse.....) and so trusting that if you really aren't sure how to use it after demonstration you get someone who can to help you out.
For those of you who were there for the Samaritans Purse Christmas shoe box appeal - I will have shoeboxes available next week to pick up. So if any of you are interested in filling a shoebox for a child in a third world country - make sure you grab a box before leaving th eworkshop. These will have to then be returned to me by the 15th October (so they can be shipped off)
Also thinking we will have some very exciting news to tell at the next workshop regarding someone who maybe coming down to do a special little class during the day.... trust me girls if this happens you will want to bring the "Poise". This is one of the loveliest, down to earth and funniest person I have ever met but one extremely talented lady - anyway can't get you all excited just yet as nothing is confirmed.... the last workshop for the year will be the best yet... Mark in your diarys 6th December and stay tuned.
Well look forward to seeing you next Saturday. Bear in mind there is still a lot of work happening around the church but we will be in the new function room - with the most gorgeous views overlooking the valleys. woo hooo - how exciting...
