Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Well it was back to normal life yesterday. We got home safely late Sunday night and I was up at the crack of dawn Monday morning and in work. It’s always amazing how quickly a little getaway goes and a week just drags by sometimes.
I’m sharing pictures of our retreat with you today along with the projects we made. There was a LOT of eating, talking, laughing and crafting. The food was absolutely amazing. James who runs the retreat does all the cooking from scratch and it was the most delicious meals I’ve had. I wanted to bring him home to do the cooking for me. When you see the photos you might want to come next year with us. We already have the date set and I have it on my calendar ready to go. We’d love to have you join us, all you would have to do is join our team. Interested??? Drop me a line and I’d be happy to talk to you about it and now is the best time to join in with earning the additional bundle with your starter kit. I hope you enjoy the photos I took.




























I hope you liked seeing all the gifts, projects and the scenery of our Krew Retreat 2021. I can’t wait till the Krew Retreat of 2022!!
