I arrived in St. George Utah for the Founder’s Circle Retreat on Wednesday around 1:00 pm. The entire Marriott Courtyard Hotel was closed down and reserved for us, so everything was decorated with our theme “Last Splash”
After a wonderful lunch they provided for us we went to the gathering room to hang out, help others finish swaps and play a game to earn a prize.
There were beautiful displays of hand stamped projects…
…and a big candy buffet as well has lots of fruit
For dinner we had a poolside bar-B-Q they broke us up into groups of 8 at a table so that we had a chance to meet others.
My group was called Summer Sandals.
Our place settings were one of a kind small canvas paintings on an easel with our names on them.
Dinner was grilled short ribs, chicken and beef tips as well as some summer salads and the best salted caramel and chocolate cake I’ve ever had.
We ended the evening hanging out with old and new friends.
Tomorrow we have a sight seeing and light hiking trip to Zion National Park as well as our pajama party, business share and card swap.
FOUNDER’S CIRCLE SPECIAL
I want to thank you all and celebrate with you, so while I’m gone to Founder’s Circle, from September 16th – September 20th, I will reward every online order of $50 or more with a free gift (of my choice) from the Holiday Catalog.
All you have to do is click the shop now button which will bring you to my online store. Then all you have to do is click on shop now along the top row and enter the items you want to order. Be sure to enter Hostess Code YZ4P2Z3C and make sure you DO NOT click no contact. If you do that I won’t know who placed the order and you won’t get your free gift. If you have any questions on this pop me an email and I’ll help you out.
IMPORTANT
I received a number of online orders from people taking advantage of my Founder’s Circle Special that clicked the “no contact” button. If you did this please email me with your name and address as well as what you ordered so that I can send you your free gift. When “No Contact” is clicked I have no way of telling who placed the order.
Here’s a card for you to enjoy.
Here’s another card we made at my Among the Branches class earlier this week. I trimmed some of the Burlap Trim to make it narrower and added one of the Into the Woods Elements.
Thanks for allowing me to be there by armchair by showing me your pictures.
Oh you bet. I only wish everyone could experience how wonderful this trip is!
