Connect Retreat


Last week I was blessed to be part of a wonderful retreat.
I have been a part of this cause for the past 11 yrs...
THE CONNECT RETREAT for WOMEN SURVIVING CANCER.

11 years ago, 3 women started this retreat to bring women together
and let them know that their experiences could help one another.

Each year they come to
the CHRIST THE KING RETREAT CENTER in Buffalo MN

located on Buffalo Lake for 3 days of laughter, wonderful speakers, pampering, meeting new friends and re-connecting with old friends... and of course, terrific food!

Among the activities,
of course,
 we have to include some cardmaking and crafts!


This year I enlisted the help of some friends...
Jan Carlson  (on the left)
and
the person who got me into Stampin' Up! in the first place...
Dave the Byrdman, here helping the ladies.


We had a very good turnout for the classes.
One of the projects was a basket
inspired by Gretchen Barron

This lil guy is just the cutest!

I had seen a picture of it on SCS but it was Jan that figured out how to make him, since I didn't have time to order the tutorial from Gretchen to arrive in time.
Jan is the Punch Art Queen!


Makes you want to get out your punches...doesn't it?!

Let me help you get started....contact me
There is still a few days left of Sale-a-Bration

and there is always the  Stampin' Up! Catalog
