Good Monday morning my stamping friends. Well, I’m back home from our retreat in Georgia. It was a lot of fun and of course the food was amazing.

Today I’m just sharing pictures from the retreat from gifts we received to cards we made and pictures of the place.

This is the group of us that went this year.

This is the beautiful farmhouse we stayed at. The garage to the left is the craft room.

We all had our own crafting stations.

Perfect areas to just sit and relax and talk.

Gifts from Amy & Mary

Little gifts from the other ladies.

A gorgeous, embroidered mug warmer from Susan.

The owner’s new puppy.

Explosion box designed by Susan Stanley

Sidestep card designed by Mary Deatherage

Beautiful thank you card designed by Amy Koenders

A cute candy cane card designed Susan Kuenzel

A pretty teacup fun fold card designed by Joan.

Joan also made us all a cut stamping card.

Gorgeous snowflake card designed by Linda

A fun Christmas card designed by Janet.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all our projects we made and pictures from the retreat. I’m already looking forward to next years, if I’m able to go.
