The First Rosemary Heights Retreat is over

WOW! What a weekend! I spent yesterday in a daze of recovery! My Rosemary Heights Retreat was a full on weekend retreat with classes and prizes and friendship and laughter and fun! The weather could not have been better and encouraged many participants to wander the grounds (60 acres!) and take pictures of all the amazing little statues, birdhouses and other little eye candy all over the area.

Lots of feedback and for the most part very positive. The retreat in November from the 9-11th is already 25% booked so if you want to join us e-mail me right away and a desposit of $100 will secure your spot! Balance of $165 due by August 31st.

Thank you everyone who came out to join me and support my passion! My goal is to provide the best retreat at the very best value I can. I think Rosemary Heights can provide the best of everything for your relaxing retreat with your friends. One of the girls brought her yoga mat and enjoyed the sunrise!

Here are a few of the images from the weekend..

Busy Busy Busy

Today two of my good friends came over to help me prep some of the little treats for the scrapbooking retreat coming up April 20-22!

Izzy, Jo and I cut and pieces and produced all day. Thank you so much ladies...you rock my world with your friendship! I am not very good at sewing so Jo headed home with some new fabric from the Summer Smooches Line to make some display items for me. I can't wait to see what she comes up with...that girl is soooo creative! Her head was brimming with ideas when she left here loaded up with cute things to play with.

Izzy is my rock when it comes to keepig me focused and thanks to her we got loads done today (she also kept Jo focused LOL)!..OH...you want to see some sneak peeks

OK..here you go..

and one more...in progress..

What could they possible be???

So...if you are coming to the retreat...I think you are going to have loads of fun...

if you want to come..I have 2 more spots available....e-mail me or leave a comment here and I can send you the details. Registration will close Sunday at midnight!!!

Exploding Gift Box

DATE: May 8th, 2012 **date change**

TIME: 6:30pm

COST: $25.00

You will recieve all the neccessary supplies prepped and ready to create except please bring your own adhesive. Included will also be a cute matching gift card.

I had such a good time putting this little creation together, I hope you will join me for the class. Can't make that date? I will always be happy to create a private class for you either at my studio or in your home. The only requirement is to have 5 of your friends get together and have a fun crafty afternoon! Let's pick a date!

This cute little exploding box can be used for a keepsake gift holder or to store your own little treasures in! Depending on the designer paper and cardstock you use it can look completely different, from vintage to fun, even elegant.

It's very cute on the outside but check out the inside!!

Class attendees will also learn to make the beautiful flower on the top.

(Class colours/style may vary from those used here)

Look forward to seeing you soon!
