Girls Just Want To Have Fun...FAQS

Morning folks....FAQS about GJWTHF....what's that all about I hear you ask....I thought I would share some answers to...
Frequently Asked Questions 
posted recently by my buddy Debbi and if there is anything you want to know...please get in touch with Debbi @wiccababe@btopenworld.com....I promise she doesn't bite...


I'm a cardmaker/scrapbooker, are these crafty days suitable for me?
Absolutely, the techniques and products that we use for our projects can be translated to a range of different crafts
I'm a beginner/intermediate/experienced crafter, what about me?
Yes, we cater for all abilities and each tutor will guide you through each project
Do we bring anything with us?
No, just yourself :) If you have a favourite pair of scissors then feel free to take them along with you but we don't have the space to accommodate everyone taking a tote with them. We provide all the materials and tools you'll need on the day.
What about payment, can I pay cash/card on the day?
Sorry, no, we need to be able to plan, prepare and kits ahead of time so please send a cheque in advance, when you reserve your place you will be sent booking info which tells you when we need your payment.
What exactly will we be making on the day?
That's Top Secret I'm afraid :) But you will be making 3 unique projects that you won't see anywhere else. Keep a look out on the Facebook Page and Kath, Anne and Debbi's blogs for sneaky peeks.
I can't attend, but can I buy a kit instead? 
We make up a limited number of kits for sale on the day and these are exclusively available only to people who attend the crafty days, sorry.
So what actually happens on the day? 
You arrive at 9.30am so we can get you all settled in and you can all have a tea/coffee then we split you into 3 groups and each group sits down for a 2 hour workshop with either Kath, Anne or Debbi. We then have a break for lunch - we lay on a simple buffet lunch and refreshments. Then the afternoon is spent doing another 2 x 2 hour workshops with the other 2 tutors. So you will be going home with 3 unique projects and hopefully you'll have had lots of fun.
