To say we had fun at Fall Fest Retreat would be an understatement! It was an amazing day filled with wonderful women, lots of stamping, good food, many, many giveaways.
I know, you’re thinking enough with the chatter, let’s see it all. Here goes:
When we opened the doors at 8:30 our goodie bag and a custom printed Fall Fest mug were waiting at each of their spots. We had Hot Chocolate, Apple Cider, Coffee and Tea to warm them up on this cold autumn day.
The first order of the day was welcoming our “Newbies” which were two women who had never stamped with us before. We welcomed Susie and Sheri with special My Paper Pumpkin Kits.
Next up were the gifts for the “All Timers”. That’s “All Timers”, not Alzheimer’s or Old Timers. My sister Peggy and I coined the term “All Timers” at our annual Stampin’ Sister’s Retreat for those stampers who have attended retreat every year or “All the Time”.
Since this was our first Fall Fest Retreat everyone who attended was an
“All Timer” and received this festive package which had a “Purse Hanger” engraved with “Stampin’ Retreat” and a Stampin’ Up! bag which they put on the hanger at their stamping spot for all their trash.
Next up was stamping! Project one was this adorable card holder and 4 coordinating cards and envelopes.
The stars of the show (pun intended) for this project were the Bright & Beautiful stamp set, coordinating Star Framelits and Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series paper.
So now, project one is finished and we’re only 1 hour and 15 minutes into the day. Be sure to check back tomorrow to find out what they got next and what we stamped. Don’t you just love the anticipation? I can’t wait to show you the next project…you’re going to LOVE it!
This is getting me extra excited for your retreat in March! 🙂
I can wait for the "Stampin' Sisters Retreat in March either. It is soooo much fun!
