Twice a year in March and October I host an all day retreat. To say that this event is the most involved and elaborate event I hold each year would be an understatement – but I love it!
Each retreat has a different theme which allows me to enjoy my second passion – decorating! October 22nd's retreat theme was "Fiesta".
I hold this event at the Brandon Elks Lodge where we have 2,000 square feet to sprawl out, relax, stamp and have fun. Lunch and dinner are homemade on the premises by the Ladies of the Elks. The food was delicious and no one left hungry!
I've attended all kinds of stamping and crop events in my 18 years and the one thing I always disliked was being stuffed inside a room like sardines. You can see by the pictures that there are only two people per table which I deem their "home" station for the day. Each person receives a product goodie bag valued at $30.
The tables on the carpeted areas are the 9 make & take projects allowing everyone an opportunity to work at their own pace.
I love a grand entrance. I'm limited on a decorating budget so the Lodge helps by providing the trellis for free.
These tissue paper flowers were huge! My friend, Jill, and I spent an entire day making these as well as smaller flowers we used throughout the room.
The sombrero, blanket and maracas were on loan from a friend.
I borrowed the guitar from Boo and used poster putty to hold the silk flowers in place.
This is the door prize table. I give away 5 door prizes throughout the day as well as game prizes. Who doesn't love Prize Patrol, right?
The Big Shot die cutting station was the busiest of all the tables. I housed 6 Big Shots so waiting was at a minimum. The funniest memory of the day centered around this set of tables.
A tiny (and I mean, tiny!) framelit was accidentally misplaced and had been thrown away. My team member, Leann, offered to dumpster dive in an effort to find it. AND she found it! The place was is a roar with applause because no one wanted to fussy cut a flower that size.
Be sure to come back tomorrow. You won't want to miss part 2! I'll be sharing the favors and tags I made.
So awesome! I WISH I LIVED CLOSE,!
I wish you did, too, Tina! But, there are always airplanes 🙂 Thanks for the kind words about the projects.
Lisa, I really wish I lived near you! It looks like you made this retreat so much fun! 🙂
I wish you lived closer, too, Lynn. I try to make each retreat really special. I create a new theme every 6 months and I have the next few themes already decided. I keep my eye out for the decor and throughout the year. I love to decorate! Thanks for the comment.
