Huntsville, Alabama Retreat

June 5, 6, 7, 2008

 

Retreat got over yesterday and a wonderful time was had by all. We had 5 sets of projects and over 120 people attended in 3 sessions. I am so lucky to belong to the First Impressions group and have Joann Wiemers as my upline!

It takes tremendous preparation by everyone to do a retreat on this scale but when you see the ladies enjoying the projects it makes it all worth it. I also got to work with a group of ladies with an abundance of talent. I have never worked on a design team before and was thrilled when a couple of my projects became a final product for stamp camp. The first one was the Sassy Suzie Gift Card I uploaded last night without the bra. The other was just a concept when I went home from our first meeting. The result was a Beach Survival Kit.

Here it is open.

The contents include a bookmark (sandals), chapstick holder (Life's A Breeze, Memo Pad with Bling Pen, Nail File (not done at stamp camp) with Keychain, Inner Tube with a Life Safer candy on the back and a Belly Band around the tin.

Directions can be found here to make this kit.

Some of our other projects were:

Designed by Kathi Jenkins - there is a matching coaster but mine is not finished yet. I'll post it when it is.

Fourth of July Set Designed by Thelma

Designed by Christy

Designed by Karen Hurd -  I made a mistake when cutting the edge so mine is a little different than hers. I had to cut off a little more so I added the rub ons on the side.

Here are some pictures taken at stamp camp.

This is my first group of ladies I taught the Beach Survival Kit, I should of had a demo survival kit to give them!
