Ok...so first off a HUGE thank you to Tasha & Lance for the amazing retreat...and HUGE thank you to all those who worked so hard to put it together!
The retreat was in the Mountains of Utah...Heber. We started with a trip to the warehouse for shopping....I really told myself not to buy too much since like most scrappers I have ton's of stuff already. But of course I left with a whole box full of paper, chipboard, buttons and bling!
The first night we were showered with fun new product! we got a die cutting machine: The revolution by Quic Kutz with monograms and a full Alpha set...I have never had a die cutting machine and can't wait to play with it! We also got lot's of cardstock and some Tinkering Ink products! I mailed most of it to myself so I am anxiously awaiting my package!
Each day we had 2 to 3 classes, previewing the up coming classes for Rusty Pickle in 2009, of course I mailed all of those too myself also....so I have nothing to show. On Friday a group of 8 of us went to Park City and spent the afternoon shopping and enjoying each other's company!! Then on Saturday we had a surprise baby shower for Tasha...then she gave us a huge surprise: Tasha & Lance hired a massage therapist to come and give us all a massage!! Such a nice way to end our trip!
It was a fabulous weekend filled with laughter, fun and scrapping!! Who could ask for more??
