Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator In Finger Lakes

Welcome to Spring Retreat!

Over the next few days I'm going to share with you all that I've been so busy with and what has prevented me from doing more blogging… our Spring Retreat Weekend!! I won't be sharing the actual projects we made all weekend as that is all just for attendees, but I WILL be sharing with you all of the extras around the event which does include lots of stamping ideas!

So to start off, here are some Welcome photos!!!

Our Retreat Weekends are the kind of event people fly in for – so on Thursday Night I had a crew of girls fly in and stay at my home so that they were here for when we started on Friday afternoon! They ended up getting put to work helping me put the finishing touches on things – here they are preparing everyone's project bags! All of the attendees received these totes with cut material packets for all of their classes for the entire weekend…

Friday morning loading up the cars was a chore and a half!! We couldn't even get everything in mine, Jen had to load her car up with passengers and their luggage! Here's my poor car's cargo…

Then it was off to the lodge! Here's a look at our home for the weekend!

Everyone got settled into their bedrooms, look at the massive lodging we have! The ENTIRE upstairs is bedrooms and bathrooms!

I put a different "Room Sign" on each of the doors using Stampin' Up! Designer Papers…

One of the rooms…

Then it was off to getting the stamping space set up! Here's a look at the "Bonus Stations" — I had set up these long tables with bonus projects for people to complete during down time in the evenings or in between classes — whenever they had a break!

We also had tons of Display Boards set up for inspiration, I had shared that in yesterday's highlights post… Then as people came in, they each got a Stampin' Up! Product on their back…

Then they were able to ask each person 1 yes or no question to try and guess what product they were! When they found out what product they were, they came for me for a little welcome gift – a Satin Ribbon Sampler!

And that was all just the beginning!! Tomorrow I will be sharing you highlights from our "Paris Nights" Dinner Party which include LOTS of 3-D Stamping Project ideas!!

Look like fun? These Retreat Weekends are my highlight of the year! Our next one is coming up October 22nd – 24th. Mark your calendars and join The Heartfelt Stamper's Team today so that you are eligible to attend!
