Our first hosted weekend has come to an end. What a fun time we had!! The ladies and I had great weather (other than that storm on Friday night! LOL). There was some serious scrapping going on with many of them finishing 20+ pages. We ate and snacked and had a few beverages, along with a couple of stops in town for supplies.

 

Here is a fun group picture taken on the deck.

 

Some of the gals have already booked for the August and September weekends as well!

 

If you are thinking about reserving your spot for September 12 - 14th you better hurry! I only have four spots left. August is another option also, it’s the 22 - 24th. I’m sure that one will be just as popular. For more information please visit the What’s New page of our site.

 

 

 

I have more pictures as promised!

 

This is our new sign!! It’s on the corner of the driveway on Walck Road.

 

The grass has been really growing and filling in nice.

 

We planted a few small shrubs in front of the house.

 

The lawn is coming along really well in the backyard. This is the lower driveway where you can unload into the craftroom.

 

The deer and squirrels like to come through back here looking for acorns.

 

The deck is shaded for a good portion of the day, making it great for taking a break or eating meals at.

 

Fall will be here before you know it. Will you have your Christmas projects, gifts or cards finished in time?? Stay with us for a fall weekend getaway and have plenty of uninterrupted time to get them completed! Contact me for your reservations soon as fall weekends are very popular.

 

Have a great week!

Well Hi everyone!!

 

I know it’s been awhile. Summer months keep everyone so busy and the same goes for us. There have been some changes at the retreat. We now have the landscaping completed!! I’ll share a few pictures of the work in progress at the end of this post. The wireless internet is also up and running!

 

Tomorrow I’ll be heading up to the retreat for the first Hosted Weekend. I’m really looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and a few new ones too! We only have space for 5 more people at our September weekend so if you are interested please reserve your spot soon.

 

Because of the great response to our Hosted Weekends we are adding another one this summer!

 

August 22rd - 24th    $100/person plus taxes ($25 deposit)

Check in Friday at 1:00 Check out on Sunday at 1:00

Registration Form

 

On our Hosted Weekends I do all the cooking and clean up!! Which gives you more time to craft, who doesn’t want that!  You’ll be treated to homecooked meals, snacks, coffee, milk and bottled water. Feel free to bring along anything else you wish! I hope to meet more of you then!

 

Now for some new pictures.

 

Stump grinding, that was cool to watch!

 

Spreading some piles of black dirt.

 

Raking in the grass seed.

 

Spreading straw over everything, what a mess.

 

Almost finished with the backyard.

 

Finishing along the driveway.

 

Now I have a couple of pictures of someone we saw snooping around one morning…

 

 

 

Dale saw a turkey last week too! 

 

Next week I’ll post pictures of our new green grass. (I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we get some rain!)

 

Have a great weekend!
