Never Grow Up
2/18/2021
0 Comments
In the coming week or so, I will be posting sneak peeks of the new lines that will be available to purchase at the March and April retreats. Patterned paper will be sold by the sheet, and I will also have some of the coordinating embellishments that go with each line. First up is Never Grow Up by Shimelle/American Crafts. I will have more patterns and embellishments than are pictured here, but these photos will give you a good feel for the line...
Please read here about what the March 18-21 retreat in Auburn will look like due to COVID restrictions. Please understand that things could change at any time, but that I will post updates as things change.
Upon arrival at the retreat, you will need to fill out a health screening form. Information on the screening form will be sent to you via email. Please do not attend if you have had a positive COVID test in the past 10 days, if you have any COVID symptoms (unless you have a current negative test), or have been exposed to COVID in the last 10 days. My priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy, while still being able to gather together to share our passion for scrapbooking and other crafts. Here are some details about the weekend:
All of this good stuff will still be happening!
Food and Drinks No outside food will be allowed in the ballroom at this time. What this means is that meals cannot be eaten in the ballroom. If you order out, or bring food, it will need to be eaten in the lobby or in your hotel room. Keep in mind that each hotel room has a refrigerator and microwave. The lobby will be set up with socially distanced tables for eating. Please do not move any of the tables or chairs around in the lobby. When ordering food for delivery, please ask the delivery person to deliver to the main lobby and to call you to come meet them. No food deliveries will be permitted in the crop rooms/ballroom. Again, this has to do with me not exceeding our limit of how many people are permitted in the room. As far as snacks in the ballroom, if you have individual snacks or candy, you may eat that at your seat. However, there cannot be any shared snacks or other food in the ballroom. Please do not eat while walking around the ballroom or around public areas of the hotel. Cancellation policy If I cancel an event altogether, you will receive a full refund, less any PayPal fees. If you choose to cancel, normal cancellation fees will apply. The cancellation policy can be found here: https://www.scrapbookcreationsny.com/policies.html I will continue to monitor COVID guidelines/restrictions and will continue to be in touch with the hotel. I will provide updates with any new developments or changes. As you may remember, when registration for the Spring 2021 retreats opened, I asked that everyone limit themselves to registering for only one retreat weekend. The reason for this is because I am capping the size of each retreat at 50 people, in anticipation of what the gathering size limits may be in March and April, and I wanted to be sure that everyone who wanted to could attend at least one retreat. For the time being, I am leaving the size at 50 people each. I will open all remaining seats if the gathering size limits are lifted prior to the retreats.
Now that registration has been open for several months and everyone has had the opportunity to register, I am opening it up so that you may register for additional retreats if you desire. Here is the current status of the spring retreats: March 18-22 in Auburn, NY: 1 seat open April 8-11 in East Aurora, NY: plenty of seats open April 29-May 2 in East Aurora, NY: Sold out If an event is currently sold out, I encourage you to get on the waiting list. With so many things changing so often due to COVID and all the ripple effects of COVID, cancellations do happen and seats do become available. Additionally, I remain hopeful that we may be able to opening the remaining 16-18 seats for one or more of the Spring retreats, if restrictions are lifted. To be added to the waiting list for an event, simply email me at keri@scrapbookcreationsny.com, message me on FB, or text me at 585-509-0276. COVID Updates

 Here is an updated list of how COVID will affect the November retreat. (Please understand that things could change at any time.)
Please use this information to plan accordingly. If you have already signed up for the retreat, but decide that you are no longer comfortable attending, that is ok and you will get a full refund. I also ask that if you start to feel ill, develop any symptoms, or if someone you know comes down with COVID in the two weeks prior to the retreat, that you not come for the safety of others. Again, you will get a refund. Upon arrival at the retreat, you will need to fill out a health screening form. Information on the screening form will be sent to you via email. My priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy, while still being able to gather together to share our passion for scrapbooking and other crafts. Here are some details about the weekend:
All of this good stuff will still be happening!
Food and Drinks Breakfast at the hotel is currently served as "breakfast to go", which is a bagged or boxed breakfast that can be eaten in the lobby or taken back to your hotel room to eat. (It cannot be eaten in the crop room/ballroom.) Coffee is served from behind the front desk during breakfast hours and two other times throughout the day. Due to Covid policies, the hotel is unable to have our usual setup of snacks and a coffee/beverage station in the ballroom. There is a coffee machine in every hotel room, though, so you will be able to have coffee whenever you would like. At this time, it looks like we will have bottled water available to us in the ballroom, as well as some prepackaged snacks. Ice will be available from ice machines on each floor in the hotel. No outside food will be allowed in the ballroom at this time. What this means is that meals cannot be eaten in the ballroom. If you order out, or bring food, it will need to be eaten in the lobby, at outdoor seating or in your hotel room. Keep in mind that each hotel room has a refrigerator and microwave. The lobby will be set up with socially distanced tables for eating. Please do not move any of the tables or chairs around in the lobby. When ordering food for delivery, please ask the delivery person to deliver to the main lobby and to call you to come meet them. No food deliveries will be permitted in the crop rooms/ballroom. Again, this has to do with me having to track everyone who enters the ballroom, as well as not exceeding our limit of how many people are in the room. As far as snacks in the ballroom, if you have individual snacks or candy, you may eat that at your seat. However, there cannot be any shared snacks in the ballroom. Please do not eat while walking around the ballroom or around public areas of the hotel. Housekeeping By default, housekeeping services are not being provided. If you would like any services, you may request them at check in, or call the front desk at any time. You may request normal/daily housekeeping, no service, every other day, etc. It will be completely up to you to decide what you are comfortable with. You can get extra towels, more toilet paper, tissues, garbage bags, etc from the front desk at any time. If you opt for no housekeeping, you may put dirty towels and/or your garbage in the hallway and it will be collected by housekeeping. Please know that the hotel is operating on a very limited staff. We were well taken care of at the September and October retreats, so I don’t anticipate this to be a problem. However, please have patience with them when needed. Everyone is doing their very best to make the retreats happen! I will continue to monitor Covid guidelines and will continue to be in touch with the hotel. I will provide updates with any new developments or changes. |
