October 22-24, 2010 Retreat IS SOLD OUT, a waitlist will be available for anyone interested, so call your friends and sign up soon for the December retreat so you can get some projects done before Christmas.
 
Our theme will be Movie Night at the Oscars, as well as, Breast Cancer Awareness Month!  Bring out your best Oscar Pink for Saturday night dinner, prizes are on the line. 
 
We will also start collecting unwrapped gift for Santa's Anonymous at this retreat, if you are able, please bring a donation.
 
A new item for the 2010 retreats will be our mini garage sales.  Bring any quilting or scrapbooking items with you that you would like to sell (personal items only please no retail or shops).  In other words, if you bought a ruler or a special stamp set and now you realize you don't use it as often as you thought you would, bring it along, put a price on it, and your name and who knows, it might turn into another persons treasure.  This is a great way to increase your stash and supplies at a much cheaper rate and to "clean up" your own stash by selling your own stuff.  You are responsible for your own items, cash transactions, etc. we do not accept responsibility for anyone's items.
 
I will be bringing out both scrapbooking and quilting items.  This new endeavour will be our year long event to help everyone to clean up and organize their crafting supplies and areas
Friday:
 
We start at 4pm, all tables and sleeping accommodations are prebooked, so no need to worry, we will have you with your friends.  Snacks will come out around 7pm.
 
This is always pajama night, come out, unload your gear, get settled in and stay comfy and cozy.  
Saturday:
 
In honour of our theme of the Movie Night at the Oscars, come to dinner with your best Oscar PINK on!   Prizes are on the line!  
Sunday:
is always our day to get our projects completed, finished up and then do the dreaded pack of shame! 
We must vacate the lodge by 4pm so please plan your Sunday to complete your projects on time.
 
How much will you get done this weekend?
Tips for Bittern Lake Lodge:
 
There are hardwood floors, so bring a pair of slippers.
 
The sleeping accommodations are a quiet zone, please use headphones if you are wanting to listen to music before bed.  Also, please ensure when you get up and go to bed that you respect the other guests who may be sleeping.
 
Bring any snacks or drinks that you would like, there is a refridgerator we can use for any soda's, alcoholic beverages, etc.
