Ask Karen... Round 1 *smile*

It's Tuesday and the first in a series of "ASK KAREN" blog posts :) Was it just me or did you hear an echo when you read "ASK KAREN"? hehehe... Okay, I have an head cold and it's effecting my sense of humour! :)

So, here it is.. "Ask Karen". Thanks to those of you who ask questions of me this week. The questions are all about the studio and the events.... but please don't hesitate to use this forum to ask me about techniques or how to use some product. Love to answer those questions too.

Without further ado.....

Question 1 - Christine and Stacy both asked if I was still taking registrations for the London Retreat. Absolutely! Love to see you there. I will be taking registrations for another couple of weeks. BUT if that changes I will be sure to post something here or on the website. We do have some space available for the retreat weekend. Classes for this retreat will be posted here next Wednesday (not tomorrow, next week). I'll be sure to share those with all my blog readers too! For information or to register for any of our retreats click here.

Question 2 - Stephen walked into the studio this week asking about group rentals of the studio space and if I allow children. I welcome groups of kids (up to 12 with chaperones) in the studio at any time -- not just during regular studio hours. I am open for birthday parties or special events. (A little sneak for you all... I will be announcing a Halloween Event... so stay tuned!) Prices range from $12 - $18/child depending on the project - minimum of 5 kids. Please contact me at the studio for more information 519 954 6620

Question 3 - Sheri asked if tickets for the Waterloo Region Crop are available yet. Yes they are. I have them here in the studio.

The crop will be held at the Hespeler Arena (Townline road & 401) on November 28. $50 (tax included) gets you table space, meals, prizes and a lot of fun. This is a very special day crop. I am being published in the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and I want to celebrate!! This will be a book signing crop ... there will be discounts on the Winter Issue of the Magazine (I have a limited number coming in - you can reserve your copy in advance if you like), I will be offering a make n take where you can create one of the cards being published in the issue (this is being sponsored by SEI, the great company who's product I used!!) AND, in addition to some of the great door prizes available to be won -- I will also be giving away a one year subscription to the Canadian Scrapbooker to one lucky cropper attending the event! Thanks Canadian Scrapbooker!!!! and thanks SEI!!

Lucy at Simply Scrapping will also have tickets for this crop at her store location at Southworks Mall in Cambridge starting this Friday. She will be on-site at the crop doing a make n take and selling product too. As will Judy and Sheri from In A Pinch Designs! Hope you can make it!!

So... the phone lines are open! (literally and figuratively!). I will answer some more of your questions next Tuesday here on the blog. I look forward to hearing from you!!
