More Information

What makes your event or camp different from others?

Our event is different because we provide a creative and educational component to our weekends. We come with tons of samples, creative ideas and inspiration. Our goal is to provide you with a fun weekend, (and we do have fun) but also to inspire you and educate you. We will have make and takes and various demostrations running all weekend long. We will have professional creative talent avaiable all weekend long. We create an atmoshphere of sharing, so if you need something we'll ask the crowd if they have something to share with you. Our customers consistentently return to our events because of these factors. You would be hard pressed to find another event with the level of skill and talent that we bring to our events. We offer this to you, as a means of helping your grow your skill and enjoy your hobby!

We have paper crafters from all levels at our events. It doesn't matter your skill level is. You can come and work at projects at your own pace. You won't be rushed, or made to feel silly about your layouts or projects. We are all on journey in life, and in our skill development and we love it when all skill levels show up to craft! Do what you love. Do it the way you love to do it.

I'm adding this here to help you out. Please put your name on your cell phone charger, any multi plugs and extension cords you bring. Put your name on your die cut machine and any cords that go with your equipment. I have found metal rim tags with strings work great on cords.

Shopping at camp

We will bring our scrapbook supply store to camp with us and there will be several vendors on site. We will no longer be running tally sheets at our events. All merchandise taken from the booth must be paid for when you purchase it. We do accept credit cards but I do not know about the other vendors. You should NOT plan on writing checks while at camp with vendors.

Drink Service

We will offer iced tea, water and lemonade at meal times. You should provide any other drinks you want during the weekend.

All attendess must register. We do not allow people to "sit in" on our classes or crafting events. If you have a friend who wants to sit and craft with you they should register as a paying guest. We do not allow any children under the age of 11 to attend this event. Children over 11 may attend the event as a registered guest ONLY.

Can we sell rummage sale items at this event? (sell left over or used supplies)

I have hosted this kind of event before and it causes issues. One of the biggest issues is what happens when one woman who has a stack of stuff to sell at her table. This draws a non stop crowd of people hanging around her table. This causes a great deal of activity, noise and issues. Lots of issues are raised by crafters who just want to come and craft, and not be bothered by all the coming and going that the shopping at the tables creates. We will not be having a garage sale. We allow shopping and selling from registered vendors ONLY. You should NOT be selling anything from your table. If you want to vendor you may contact us for a vendor application.

What about Smoking and drinking at camp?

There is no smoking in the building. Drinking alcohol is not allowed on the property.

Can I bring my heat gun and spray mist?

If you bring a heat gun or spray mist YOU WILL BE responsible to replace any and all things damaged by their use. Attendees will be responsible for any property they damage while at camp. If you are bringing a heat gun please bring a heat proof mat.

I have a small home based business or work with a direct sell company. Can I sell products at your event?

I limit the number of vendors at our events because I do not want our customers being asked for money all weekend. If you would like to vendor at our events you can contact me about paying the vendor fee. Please do not bring your merchandise to sell at camp. Please do not bring catalogs to take orders at camp unless you are vendoring.

Music, Computers and TV

We play a mix of oldie music off and on during the event. I would prefer you leave your TV at home. All devices that are putting out sound must be used with headphones. Please be aware that singing with headphones on can also really annoy your neighbors. so. don't. do. it. ;)
