Our RemARKablyHot Retreat is more than a crop. There is so much stamping, scrapping and crafting that happens. But more importantly so much sharing. You do not need to arrive with any planned projects just adhesive and cardstock and within minutes there are shared ideas to either CASE or inspire an original. This year I took all the 120+ swap cards from Founders Circle on display boards, we had over 20 stockings entered in our stocking contests, 11 amazing holiday trees with Stampin’ UP! decorations, a swap card contest with 30+ entries and a Holiday tag contest with 20+ entries. That’s IN ADDITION to the samples created throughout the weekend and placed on our SHOW N’ SHARE tables throughout the weekend.
My Favorite part of the weekend is the spirit of sharing as attendees help each other with a tool or technique they don’t understand or know about, as attendees graciously share their ideas freely on the show n’ share tables, as attendees share their supplies – I heard here just use mine so many times it brought tears to my eyes. The attendees at this retreat put the SHARE in Stampin’ UP!’s Statement of the Heart! It’s the attendees spirit that makes the weekend what it is!!!
EXAMPLES OF JUST SOME OF SAMPLES created or shared over the weeeknd…WOWOWOW
The last ingredient to a great weekend – FOOD – the hotels food is always amazing, our treat table with fruit and snacks is salty and sweet and there are always little stashes of goodies at the attendees tables. No matter the season a walk through the crafting room is like trick or treating!
