Tall Oaks Retreat

Just returned from my first ever retreat. Can't tell you how much fun my girlfriend Veronica and I had. This was a hosted event and the owner Casie was there and she cooked all of our meals and did the dishes so all we had to worry about was scrapbooking, cardmaking, and creating - how great is that! Every meal was great and some really great snacks too (just imagine brownies with Symphony bars baked right in). It was great meeting some very nice crafters from all over the state - all together there were 15 of us including Casie. The creative energy was really flowing and it was so much fun to see what others were working on and trading ideas, instructions, and scrapbooking supplies. The craft area is awesome - lots of table space for each person and some really comfortable chairs. She also has some tools that are available for your use including decorative scissors, a sewing machine, ironing board, Sizzix Big Shot/with dies, Tonic cutter, and a computer with high speed internet. This is a super getaway for any crafter and I would highly recommend checking it out. Click on Tall Oaks Retreat on the left side of our blog and that will get you to Casie's website where you can see some pictures of the retreat itself and further information on coming to one of the hosted retreats or renting it yourself and having your own retreat with a bunch of friends. Also this isn't just for scrappers, Casie welcomes all crafters. She has a very user friendly website where you can find out immediately if the week days or weekend you are interested in is available.

If you'd like to spend some creeative time with a bunch of like minded friends or make new friends this is really a place you should check into.
