Viva Las Vegas

Ok so this post is a bit premature but I have a Las Vegas Retreat in the works. When I started doing weekend retreats I thought it would be sooo cool to do one in Vegas, then as time went on I put that idea on hold. Well recently the idea has gained some new momentum, thanks to my Vegas girls, you know who you all are ;-). So although the plans are not finalized be on the lookout for some exciting news in the coming months. In honor of our Vegas Scrapbooking Road Trip I thought I would play some Elvis. I don't know what it is about this song that is sooo fun. Enjoy!

Coming to San Diego? Do the Shop Hop too!

If you will be joining us in San Diego for the August Retreat, you should definitely take some time to check out the So. Cal Shop Hop, what a great way to hit a few more stores and participate in this fun event.

Time is flying we are just a little over 2 1/2 months away from the "fun in the sun" Summer Retreat in beautiful San Diego. We have some great classes lined and will be posting them as soon as the schedule is finalized but for now I will leave you with a tease about one of our instructors . . . Stephanie Ackerman!! The very talented Stephanie will be joining us for a fun adorable class check back for all the details.

Could I be any more connected!

So it has taken me a long time to get connected, first the website, then the blog, then facebook and now twitter. I seriously don't think I am interesting enough to have that much to say and if I said it on one form of technology wouldn't that be enough? Apparently not, so bear with me while I learn the in's and out's of all this lovely technology. Eventually I will be able to link them all and when I post on one it will show up on all! Have a great night I am off to twitter ;-)

Check us out!!!

This was way cool, Shannon from the Examiner.com (San Diego) contacted me yesterday for some info on San Diego Retreats. So I chatted with her for a bit and gave her the details for our rocking retreats! Check out the link below:
