“There is an unspoken bond you create with friends you travel with.”
-Kristen Sarah
Join me and up to 14 others in a beautiful place where ladies can relax, rest, and refuel. You will be sharing a room but will have your own bed! Might be a twin, might be a queen or a bunk bed.
Relax and craft the days and nights away at this fun weekend retreat in a cabin near Gatlinburg, TN. It is custom-designed for crafters, with an ENTIRE SPACE dedicated to scrapbooking, crafting, journaling or whatever your heart desires. 4ft Tables, chairs, desk lamps, TV, and kitchenette area in the crafting room…nothing is missing except you and your materials! NOTE: This is a Bring Your Own Crafts Event… however, there will be a couple optional provided crafts times together.
Need a break from your crafting? Go relax in the hot tub, enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch, or head out on the little lake in a canoe or take an optional group hike on a nearby trail. Or even chat or play a card game with your new friends!
