Actually it started on Wednesday beforehand when my good friend Tracy arrived down from Whangarei. We spent a fun couple of days hanging out before camp. Her arrival coincided with the reopening of our local mall (shut since the February quake) so all in all it was a very auspicious week!
The retreat was set in the picturesque area of Oxford in North Canterbury at GlenTui Meadows.
I had been there once before on school camp, aged 10! but obviously didn't really remember it that well. It was a stunning location to scrap, with gorgeous views out of the crop room windows which let in lots of lovely natural light to scrap by. The mood in the room was constantly cheerful (was that the alcohol or the sweets perhaps?) and the idea sharing and laughter was awesome.
Please excuse Robbi in this photo, she just can't resist being a little bit cheeky!
Part of the appeal of camp this year was having an international tutor come over to work with us on two classes, one off the page and one layout. Steph Devlin (of Websters DT, Prima designer, etc!) was a real inspiration and even though I am not a big fan of OTP I did find myself really enjoying the class.
But my first love is layouts, and I did manage quite a bit of work over the course of the weekend!
Had so much fun I have already submitted my registration for next year, just can't wait! These chicks made our table just rock with laughter and fun the whole weekend!
