Pictures from our 2026 Retreat

Posted on September 22, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. I’m having a great time in TN with my friend Judi and her husband Paul. We’re having fun creating together and just spending time chatting.

Before I get going, I’ve been getting emails from some who have signed up for my shares. I just wanted to let you all know that they were mailed out Thursday Sept 10 by 4pm ET either UPS or USPS. I’ve tracked most of them and I know a lot have been delivered. Just remember it is the mail delivering them and some may take longer than others to get to you, though you should all have them by now

Well, our 2026 retreat is in the books and already can’t wait to get together with everyone again. I thought I’d share some photos from the retreat today with you. We had such a wonderful time laughing till our sides ached and tears rolled down our faces.

Here’s the craft area we get to work in. Look at the amazing lighting that James installed since last year. None of us had to use our desk lights to see this year. I think one of the things I like the most is the socializing with everyone and making the cards they designed. I got to play with sets that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to purchase, of course now I want them all.

We were all hard at work creating along with doing a lot of chatting.

This is Poe, one of James’ pups.

And this one is Cooper the other pup that was there with us.

Our first night’s dinner was a delicious Beef Lasagna, veggies and garlic bread.

In the morning James made his amazing Blueberry French Toast bake and this year he added a crumble topping on it.

Friday night he made a delicious Pork Loin with Apple-Cranberry Chutney, Lemon Garlic Grilled Zucchini, Mushroom & Spinach Risotto and 2 pans of his famous Carrot Souffle.

Saturday afternoon we celebrated Mary Deatherage, the one who coordinates this whole event, for her MILLION Dollars in Sales Achievement.

Her team had been arranging this whole thing for months leading up to the retreat knowing she would reach it by then.

Of course we needed our group picture at the end.

We had a great group of cards to make. These beautiful fall and birthday cards were designed by Judi, Karen F, Amy and Becky.

These Christmas cards were designed by Janet, Charlene, Mary (a gift card holder YAY) and Tara. I got to work on other projects while I was there also.

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. For the next few days I’m doing something I don’t normally do, I’m using the same suite of products. I thought it would be fun to share some Halloween cards with you since Halloween is next month and there’s a limited time to make the cards.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.
