We are gearing up for the spring retreats!

Hope everyone had a delicious Thanksgiving, warm and cuddly Christmas, a blow out New Year (for all you 2012 die-hards, there is a mere 2-years left, woo hoo, hope to see you on the other side!) and a successful beginning to any resolutions!  Kyla, Sam and I ate till we dropped, spent a lovely day with friends, slept through the evening and began our New Year’s diet.  Kyla is still on task and I fell off the train 2-days in! ARGH!…

It’s that time of year to start thinking about YOU and YOUR needs for the upcoming year, to that end this is a reminder letter of down time, plentiful food, good friends, sisterhood, AWESOME views, creative endeavourers and ME!  Most of the spots for fall have been taken and spring is just around the corner if you want in.  SO give it some thought and if you are interested in heading to Yachats this year and spending some time with Kyla and Maggie (in the spring and JUST Maggie in the fall) then send me an email to secure your spot at Secure, we would love to entertain YOU.

We have some cute projects planned, the spring retreats will be making a FALL picture store-er (is that a word?) that can hang on the wall year after year if you make it right!  The backside will hold photos that need to be scrapbooked, along with journaling tags that you can jot notes about the event of the picture!  It was inspired by Kim Liberti, she made one years ago and I’ve recreated it here for us.  The fall retreats will be making one of 2 projects, an ALL HALLOWS EVE Book or a telephone journal with pictures!  We’ve been busy altering menus also!  One tasty dessert is a Lemon/Sour Cream Pound dense Cake filled with Lemon Curd and Raspberries and covered with thick fresh whipping cream…Yummers! We have new items in our mini store, great prizes to give away and new cartridges for the Cricut!

So check the available dates on the web site, check with your calendar and family and send me an email to secure your spot.  I look forward to seeing you!  AND just for the folks who read the blog…Here is a Blog Special.  Sign up for a retreat with a friend and save 10% off YOUR fee, sign up with 2 friends and save 20%, 3 friends 30%…etc…..get it?  YOU MUST MENTION THIS SPECIAL WHEN SIGNING UP AND THE DISOCUNT IS ONLY GOOD FOR YOU, OR 1 PERSON IN YOUR GROUP.  AND this is a January special.  You must sign up and pay your deposit by January 31st to get the discount.
