New RETREAT Date Announced!!

Hi Everyone!

We had a great retreat last weekend and have announced our next date - November 4-6, 2011! The retreat will be at Gladstone Oxford Suites. The cost for a 6' scrap table for 3 days is $45. We do get deals for the hotel rooms and will alert you to the deals about 1 month prior to the retreat. You then reserve your room directly with the hotel. We have 3 spots left - let us know if you are interested!

Happy Scrappin'!

March 4-6 Retreat!!

Hello Ladies!

We have the hotel info and it is a GREAT DEAL!!!
Oxford Suites Portland -Gladstone
75 82nd Drive • Gladstone, Oregon 97027
Phone:             (503) 722-7777

2 Queen beds, plus sofa sleeper per room - up to 4 people per room
$89
+ tax per night (total, not per person!)
This includes breakfast and their happy hour/appetizer selections and
2 adult (or not) beverages.

So, basically if you have 4 people to a room, it will be $25 per
night, per person.

We've reserved 3 rooms, which will need to be paid for by you a week
prior to the retreat (or at least reserved with a credit card). At
that point, our hold on the rooms drops off. Please call the hotel
and
tell them you are with East Side Scrappers and they will have all of
the info.

Who wants a massage?  The masseuse we had last time was amazing!!  If
you are interested, please let me know, as we need to book her for 3
hours to make it worth her while.  She charges $60 per hour and will
break it into 15 minute increments for a table massage or charge $1 a
minute for a chair massage. 

Thanks!
Debbie and April!

Upcoming Retreats!!!

Pictures from our Oct 2009 Retreat - so much fun!

Hello!!

I know that you've been waiting for this post, mainly because some of you have signed up without even knowing the details of where we're going!

First things first - our next local retreat will be April 23-25 at The Oxford Suites in Gladstone. We love these local retreats because they are so close and so inexpensive, whether we stay at the hotel or not! The cost of the scrap room only, for the entire weekend, is $45. We do reserve a block of rooms that you would pay for directly to the hotel - for budgeting purposes the rooms are generally between $80-100 per night for 4 people and includes breakfast and an evening reception. We will have pricing on the rooms approximately one month before the retreat (if not sooner). Our local retreat scheduled for next weekend filled up at the last retreat 4 months ago - if you want a spot for April, please let us know ASAP!

Now for a drum roll....the BEACH RETREAT!!! Mark your calendars for July 23-25! This retreat will be held at a great bed and breakfast 11 miles south of Newport in Seal Rock, OR just 75 yards off of the beach! The retreat will start at noon on Friday and go until Sunday at 4pm. Breakfast and dinner will be served. Seal Rock is a 2 3/4 hour drive from Portland. Each room will sleep 2-3 people (double bed/single bed/bunk bed combos) and they will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis. The cost is $125 per person and is a steal! The good news is there are 8 spots, the bad news is that 4 are already taken and paid for. This one is going to go fast - let us know if you want in ASAP! Again, our local February retreat is next weekend and we don't expect a spot to be left after the February retreat.

Below are pics of the beach house in Seal Rock, OR!!

This is the view from the deck and the front of the beach house!

The living room looks onto the deck and will be made into our scrap room. It opens to the kitchen (which you will have use of during the day and for lunches).

The other side of the living room and an example of one of the bedrooms.

Please let us know if you have any questions - we are happy to answer! We hope to see you at one of our retreats! If you aren't able to make it to the spring or summer retreat, our last local retreat will be October 22-24.

We hope to see you soon!

Happy Scrapping!

Debbie and April
