Crafty Retreat

I've just had a lovely weekend at a fairly local Stampin' Up Crafty Retreat with a Christmas theme.  A place came up early last week on Facebook and, despite not knowing anyone going, I decided to go.  What a lovely, friendly group of crafters they were!  It was quite a small group of about a dozen or so which made it  easy to get to know everyone.  We stayed in a little hotel for the weekend and the staff made sure we were well fed!  This is a photo of everything I made, which included another 12 cards to add to my pile of Christmas cards.

The bottles are for display purposes only! 😉

  2. Oh what fun you must have had, making new crafting friends. And WOW, what a lot you got done. Lots of different designs, and you must have all your Christmas cards at the ready after this class. Aren't you so happy you decided to go? It was certainly worthwhile, looking at all you accomplished, and how pretty each card is! TFS & Hugs

    Answering the comment you left on my blog: He's always willing to help out in the Art Barn . . . I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that I have a doggy treat jar out there, LOL. Whenever I say that we are going to the Art Barn, he beats me to the door :)
    Have a happy day filled with good health and smiles.
    Connie :)
