The last time I posted about retreat we were in a place in Lubbock Tx. We now go to a place at Lake Whitney, Tx. It’s so beautiful I can’t even begin to tell you just how wonderful it is. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s Circles Retreat for anyone looking for a beautiful place to hold events. Here’s the link: https://www.circlesretreat.com/
I am so blessed to have the best group of ladies in my life all brought to me via my Stampin’ Up! Journey. These ladies are all friends for life.
For my retreats I offer a Kit that includes 50 or more projects for everyone to put together. We play lots of games and eat wonderful foods. At the end of the retreat everyone gave me a wonderful gift and as you can see by the pictures, I was very choked up over it. A few of the games we play are Saran Ball game and my Stampy game. The stampy game is something I came up with as a way to make extra cards and use up some products I needed to get rid of. For the 2026 retreat the 200 plus cards will go to a local Senior center here in Midland Tx. The game really pushed everyone as they were limited to what was at retreat and what was in the envelope they picked from a box. I gave away prizes if the envelope had a “Stampy Card” inside. That game alone had 66 prizes! We are all very spoiled for this retreat, even me! I just couldn’t love these ladies anymore. The 2026 retreat will be in the theme of Bee’s and Bee Crafty! I just can’t wait! Another thing I do for every retreat is hide little “squishy” toys much like the ducks that you find on a cruise ship. At the end of the retreat I give prizes to the top collectors of those toys. They really run after those things and lord help us if two of them find one at the same time and go running for them.
Here are just a few pictures from our wonderful time.
