Hi gals-
Retreat is right around the corner and Leah is accepting deposits ($45) for VIPs (those that have attended before) now. We will have an open registration beginning August 14th for those that haven't attended. If you want to get your foot in the door, send your moolah to Leah. Some of you have already done so- and we are excited! If you want to send the whole sum, it is $95 for both days & $45 for Saturday only.

Traditionally this retreat focuses on making things for the holidays. Leah and I will have several classes available. Some of those classes will be kits, like we did last time, and some will be actual classes where we will all do the work together. If there is a project or class that you are itching to have, let us know and we'll see if we can fit it in. Here is what we have so far:

• Stamp-a-Stack of Holiday Greetings
• Fall Scrapbook Layout + Holiday Scrapbook Layout
• Fill 'er Up! (A class with fun larger containers to decorate)
• Minis, Multiples and Treats: Christmas gifts for all your peeps
• (Insert Creative Name Here) where we will do name frames available in masculine or feminine colors, I'm not doing the description justice- these things are going to be darling for the little people in your life.

Leah and I have ordered our materials and will be displaying our samples on the blog before the end of the month, so be watching for them. This looks like its going to be a great group again and we are WAY excited that Leah will be returning with a whole slew of new friends in her neck of the woods.

Lastly, just so you can mark your calendars- Spring Retreat is set for May 7th-8th, it is later than we normally do- but it was the best date available. Hope you can join us then too!
