Good Morning, crafty friends!
Wow, what a fun weekend at the annual Create Your Retreat! I was so honored to be the guest artist at this year's event. For those of you who don't know, this annual scrapbooking and crafting retreat has been held for years here in Oregon, drawing in hundreds of crafters.
Ladies and gents can craft all day Friday and Saturday, shop vendor booths from Pacific Northwest-based companies (such as Art Impressions, Close To My Heart, and Paper Wishes [to name a few]), and take stamping, card making, scrapbooking, and other paper crafting classes.
The event is held at the Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, Oregon, which is about a 3.5 hour drive south of Portland. The ladies book out a huge conference room so there is plenty of space for you and your friends to set up camp and peruse vendor booths.
Suzi, Kim, and Julie who put on the event every year put so much detail and hard work into making Create Your Retreat an enjoyable event for both crafters and vendors. They raffle off some amazing prizes all throughout the event and also give crafters fun goodie bags. Bathrooms and ice water are nearby, along with the exit, so you can run to your car in case you've forgotten anything.
I also brought a fun little make and take, a square tag adorned with the gorgeous new Sun Kissed line.
The best part though of teaching classes is the ladies. I love talking to them and learning little tidbits about them, like where they're from and what their favorite types of projects are. Here's just a handful of some of the sweet gals I met at the retreat.

As the guest artist representing Graphic 45, I was given my own booth, which I made into an inspirational area using some of my earlier design team projects. I brought many of my pastel-themed creations for a springy feel and to offer inspiration for anyone crafting with Botanical Tea. (Graphic 45 brought this beautiful paper line back as a Deluxe Collector's Edition, yay!)
I also brought a fun little make and take, a square tag adorned with the gorgeous new Sun Kissed line.
It was so fun meeting ladies at my booth. And it was a blast teaching my altered photo stand class as well! We had a sweet group of crafters, many who are longtime Graphic 45 fans, and some who were just discovering G45's vintage-themed collections.
