Craft Mad Retreat 2013

As I mentioned last week we held our annual Craft Mad Meet up in Brisbane during the Labor Day weekend.
We had a group ladies from various part of Australia here for 3 days of crafting eating and absolute loads of fun.
Over the next little while I would like to share some photos of our weekend and I promise not to upload the whole 500 + photos
Today  will start with some photos of our group and our venue.

I painted a Kaisercraft Advent Calendar box and also painted the drawers and inside and out. I covered the drawers with Couture Creations Vintage Rose Garden papers and added drawer knobs  from Kaisercraft.  On top of the box I created a scene with flowers, sewing machine, artist easel, mannequin and sewing basket and paper rolls as well as  teddy.
