HOTEL: We are staying at the beautiful new Marriott Springhill Suites just 4 minute walk away (or 1 if your driving!) to our retreat room. Suites have 2 Queen beds as well as a living area with a couch that turns into a trundle bed (and will fit 2 people), so SHARE and SAVE! Rooms are blocked out for our group and why we have such a great price! Lodging is an OPTION but not necessary to attending the retreat. However, the few people that didn't stay over at the last retreat said how much they wished they had stayed over night. MORE fun!
Normally Springhill Suites has a FREE hot breakfast buffet, but with covid that has turned into a grab-and-go breakfast (no idea what's in there!?) and Coffee service.
Parking is free!
OCTOBER in UTAH: Well, it's truly my FAVORITE month in Utah. The weather is lovely (light jacket weather) and the leaves are turning. Spend an extra night and go for a mountain colors drive (I will be sending more of this info to attendees).
RETREAT at THANKSGIVING POINT
Thanksgiving Point is an iconic treasure in Utah County. It is a nonprofit indoor & outdoor farm, garden and museum complex. Multiple dining options, movie theater, golf course, gift shops, several museums, Many Gardens, Farm country and Butterfly Biosphere (took my Grand daughters here, loved it!). Our spacious room is in the Museum of Ancient Life. Thanksgiving Point is doing everything they can to reduce Covid risk. Our tables (or groups of tables) will be at least 6 ft from each other. Masks will have to worn at the buffet.
CLASS DETAILS:
The pictures above are such a TEASE, because really, there are SO many fun details in each project!
WICKED FUN Halloween Gifts: A great collection of treat bags, box AND a very special tri-fold mini keepsake with flip ups, slider pocket and insert with room for little pictures & notes! Don't miss the skeleton hand peeking out from the flip-up tag grabbing a real glass test tube filled with sparkly things! Hidden spots for messages, TONS of dimension, embellishments, ribbon, spooky charms and more. You'll have TONS of FUN putting these projects together...then filling and gifting them this Halloween.
WICKED FUN Halloween Cards: So many details that make this kit a keeper! Bright pops of Lime green, butterflies and flowers make this the loveliest kind of spooky! Fun fold outs, floater card, closures and skinny card too (because they're all the rage now, even though we've been making them for years!).
Ok, the nightmare is over...We put away the pumpkins and spookiness and start thinking about Christmas! Such a FUN time of year, SO many holidays! So many card & gift giving opportunities!
HOLIDAY GNOMIES Card Class: THIS was SO much fun to design and SO much work. Yikes! Gnomes are NOT all created equal. I really wanted a CUTE gnome and he needed EYES. In the end it was all worth it. I'm crushing on my mushrooms, little doors & windows, Adorable pattern paper, hugging penguins, hanging snowmen and that beard? Fuzzy, fluffy, it's the bomb! This is my ode to all things cute during the holidays!
PEACE on EARTH Card Class: I think we all need some of this in our life right now ♥. This collection of Christmas cards make me swoon. The color combination is delightful with soft shades of blue, sage and a bright red. Beautiful foliage, meaningful sentiments, metal charms, luscious ribbon, silhouettes, Glitter brads, Gold foil stars...not to mention these cards are going flip up, bridge over and swing, just to make card making a little more interesting!
Phew! If you're still with me, congratulations, you have a better span of attention than I do. :) I would LOVE to see you at my Fall Retreat, so if you have any questions, please
email me!
See you ALL soon! Sue
