When Janell and I got into our motel room she had a sweet gift for meOne thing I know about Janell is that she LOVES Halloween!!
When we arrived at the retreat room, and signed in, Dawn gave each of us a name tag and this cute package of popcorn flavored jelly belly jelly beansI'm guessing that you can see the theme of the weekend. When we found our "spot" where we would be sitting and crafting for the weekend we found our "swag bag" filled with project ingredients and tons of gifts from Dawn.
We walked around the room to see all the stations that she had set up for us to work on throughout the weekend.
This station had the POPPIN' BY! bundle and 4 different cards
This station had the PARTY PIGGY Bundle with 4 cards and one box.
This Station she gave everyone a pack of Note Cards and Envelopes and a CELEBRATIONS MEMORIES & MORE Card Pack to make a variety of note cards.
This station featured the PEEK A BOO FOREST Bundle where we made four cards
She also had a cutting and embossing station and then she offered an add-on project with a frame. I didn't participate so I didn't take a picture.
There were displays throughout the room so I took so photos of cards that peeked my interest.
Silly Safari
Jar of Cheer
A beautiful Fall Banner
And a Christmas banner
Tractor & Co

Another Silly Safari Card
There were 30 stampers attending and all 30 participated in a Card Swap - this is where we each make up a full card for everyone, and then we swap them so I came home with one card from everyone.

Dawn gave each of us a SHARE A SMILE KIT and instead of making the cards she did a demonstration on Thursday night on how she took this kit and made a photo album
Kind of hard to see how cute this really is. I took the photo when we got back to our room. I think my little grands will love adding their own photos to the black backing pages.
