A Crabby Birthday |
T his week is a busy one for my Stampin' Up! team, the Regal Stampers, as we're getting ready for our annual Create-Your-Retreat weekend. Create-Your-Retreat was previously known as Scrapbook FunFest and takes place at 7 Feather's Casino in Canyonville, Oregon. Cropping attendance is 200+ and then all of the "walk & shop" attendees are in addition to that. Croppers purchase table space and then bring their supplies to craft the weekend away...until midnight on Friday and 10 p.m. on Saturday! The convention center is huge and the room is lined with vendors, including our 30'x10' booth. We have 3 make & take stations going around the clock with projects and teachers changing every 2 hours. It is a ton of work to prep for and I will admit to dreading it just a wee bit every year. BUT...once we get set up and the doors open, magic happens! The energy at the event is incredible and I'm always happy that I'm there, visiting, crafting and have a girls weekend with my team! I'm also amazed at how much stuff the croppers pack in. There are some serious crafters out there! During sleeping hours there are security guards that protect our precious possessions. If you live close enough to attend, I highly recommend it.
