AUGUST & OCTOBER RETREAT DATES :)

We just wanted to announce to you our upcoming retreat dates. We do still have a few openings in April - April 3rd, 4th & 5th, but June is SOLD OUT & we currently have a waiting list. We were going to wait til the Fall to hold our next retreat, but we have had so much "new" interest in our retreats, we decided to "GO FOR IT" and book August & October!!!!!!

August dates are August 21st, 22nd & 23rd
October dates are October 23rd, 24th & 25th

Since we do have a LOT of "regulars" to our retreats, we are going to once again offer a discount on your deposit if you wish to book for the August &/or October retreats. The details are as follows:

If you are coming to either April &/or June your deposit for August &/or October is only $25.00 each to hold a spot in those retreats (ie. - you're coming in April & you want to come in August - send $25.00 to hold your spot or you're coming in April & you want to come in August & October, send $50.00 to hold the spots)

If you're not coming to April or June, the deposit required to hold a spot in August/& or October is the usual $50.00 for each retreat. As always, to be fair to everyone (since we tend to book up quickly), your deposit is due within 5 days of requesting a spot.

You can either mail your deposit or send it via paypal. The paypal address is: tkillough@yahoo.com Please email us for the mailing address.

Please feel free to email us if you have any questions about the deposits or the retreats.

We will be having a YARD SALE in April, so that's a great time for any of you who haven't been to one of our retreats to come look around. (More info on the YARD SALE later)

Hi Ladies, Just a quick note to let you know that we have a few openings left in April & June. PLEASE email us before sending your money so that we don't accidentally overbook.

Also, Lori has designed us a new t-shirt for the Spring/Summer. We love the red, but since it was originally supposed to be aqua we're getting that for the new shirt!

The picture above is the back of the new t-shirt. Sorry it's a little blurry. It's taken me all afternoon to figure out how to get a pdf file converted to a jpeg & then I had the bright idea to just print it & take a picture!!!

The front of the shirt will have the Simply Scrappin' bee on the front pocket area with the words Simply Scrappin' Retreats below the bee. The t-shirts will be short-sleeve and the cost is $15.00. We will take orders for the shirts until Friday March 20th. This is the only order we will be placing for these shirts. We do need pre-payment for the shirts and cannot take paypal, check or cash only.

Please let us know if you have any questions! Hope to see you at a retreat real soon!!!!!!
