Here are all the wonderful ladies I spent my weekend with. We had such a great time, and some of them worked really hard. One gal was stamping for craft sales and she finished over 110 cards!!! The most scrapbook pages that I heard were completed was 24. WOW - for some of them it was a very successful weekend. Me - I talk too much...LOL. I am always stuck at home, don't really go for coffee and such, so for me it was all about female companionship for a whole weekend. Yes, I finished 21 cards, but 16 of them are almost the same.
Can you believe that you can have an entire weekend away, you don't lift a finger except on your own projects, cuisine that is to die for, all for only $120 ? You can't even get one night in a hotel for that little, and you haven't even paid for food yet!!
This is where we spread out all of our gear, and got to work. As you can see, we definitely had room for more!! I also invited a massage therapist to work wonders on the women - she took a few shots of herself with my camera.
She has the greatest touch in the world : She is my personal masseuse and a great friend!
Here is one more picture for you viewing pleasure. This is what we are surrounded by out there. It is so peaceful, that should you decide to go for a walk, this is part of the scenery you would see.
Hope you have a great day, have fun and happy stamping!!
Do you offer classes??

I'm glad you had a wonderful time though, it sounds amazing!

What a wonderful weekend -- sounds GREAT -- it is funny though, when you show that last picture -- it looks like where I live! Now I don't feel quite so bad about not being there ;^)* Well, I still would have loved to be with y'all, but it makes me so grateful for my Island Home!
Looking forward to seeing more of your creations!

I've never been to one of these before but just the view, the food, the massage would be so worth it. So glad you all had such fun and were also productive!

So, tell us, Julie - where is this retreat??? I think I could handle a weekend like that and would definitely make the drive. :)
A group of ladies and I are heading down to the Bloomin' Inn near Pincher Creek at the beginning of March and none of us can wait! LOL We've got room left in our cabin if you're free. . . *giggle*

That looks like a great time! My sister and I were just trying to figure out how we would get away for a retreat. Hope we can!

How great! Julie where did you go? When is the next one? I just attended Scrap N' Camp in Rosthern a couple of weekends ago and enjoyed it so much. This is something I would like to participate in more regularly.
Always stamping with a smile!

Sounds like so much fun!! Where was this place? I'm sure you told us however with my little brain struggling with sinus infection I can't recall.
Glad you had so much fun!

WOW! I have not been "away" in so long...I would not know what to do. That place is gorgeous. And I would have to fight just staring out at the marvelous scenery.
