This is what an uninterrupted crafting weekend looks like! ✂️🐝
Lots of room to spread out, projects covering the tables, new friendships being made, plenty of laughter—and no need to pack everything away at the end of the day.
That’s what our October crafting retreat is all about. It’s a relaxed, welcoming weekend where you can work on your own projects, visit with other creative women, share ideas, laugh, and finally make progress on the supplies and photos waiting at home.

Your retreat experience includes:

✨ Six feet of personal crafting space
✨ Access to our die-cutting machines, Cricut, and cutting station
✨ The Home for Christmas scrapbook workshop kit
✨ An additional layout designed by me
✨ Four coordinating cards
✨ Special gifts and creative surprises
✨ Plenty of uninterrupted crafting time!

The retreat runs October 1–4 at the Holiday Inn Express South in Akron.

Friday–Sunday: $145
Optional Thursday add-on: $35
A $50 deposit reserves your space.

Whether you’re a scrapbooker, cardmaker, or simply need a creative getaway, I would love to welcome you!
