Additional Scrapbooking Retreat Information
Our Weekend Retreats have been happening now for nearly as long as we’ve been operating (over 20 years!) and have become a highlight of our Calendar.
We generally hold 4 retreats at our store in Nambour (on the Sunshine Coast an hour north of Brisbane) each year – they commence at 4PM on Friday afternoon where you arrive to ‘setup you creative space’ for the weekend and chat, craft and enjoy yourself – through to 3PM on Sunday.
All meals are included from dinner Friday night to lunch Sunday as well as morning and afternoon tea and suppers! As you can see by the photos on our Facebook page – we have fun dressing up and each retreat is themed to add a little fun to the weekend!!
Please note accommodation is not provided with our Retreat inclusions – however there are several motels in Nambour as well as Air-BNB options – the closest to our store being Nambour Lodge Motel, in Currie Street.

Contents includes a scrapbooking layout kit (in lieu of a formal class) with materials and instructions, colour images and full written instructions as well as other goodies and snacks.
On Saturday evening everyone is invited to get dressed up in the weekend’s theme for dinner – when some great photos are snapped for future layouts!
