'Tis the Season to be Jolly!!

Create-A-Weekend

Held over the weekend of Friday October 22^nd and Saturday October 23^rd our bi-annual Create-A-Weekend was a resounding success!!! A huge thank you to all who attended and helped make the weekend a lot of fun.  We launched heaps of new challenges, demos, make and takes and our personal favourite - the photo booth!!!  Ladies, you are lucky Lyndal wasn’t around the photo-hog that she is! Though not compulsory, it’s always fun to see the layouts entered for our competitions and we really admire all the hard work and creativity that goes into completing the entries!! A big round of applause now to our winners from Create-A-Weekend!!!
