We scrapped!

Arrived to the above table set ups - love the Prima Flowers Andrea of Scrapbook Outlet NZ set aside for us!
Technique booklets, handmade scrap bags with Precious Pages, papers, embellishments.....and that was just the tables, little parcels awaited each guest on their beds for the weekend.

The fireworks display on Winter Fest Opening Night was brilliant and the Hot Chilli Chocolates were even better than I remembered them!

The scrap room
Looking out over Lake Wakatipu and Ben Lomond - treat for our eyes! Open fire and plenty of space.
