Testimonials:
Blanca's retreats have been wonderful. There is lots of space per person and 24/7 access
to the space. I started going two years ago and it's now a "must" in my annual calendar.
What I love most is seeing what other people are doing for layouts of both pages and cards.
It's also just fun to see familiar faces (many of us return year after year!).

If you are looking to go to a crop with friends then this is the one for you and also if you
have never got to one for a weekend it is a good one to go too.

I love the opportunity to have a weekend with some favorite folks doing my favorite
activity--papercrafting! No responsibility except to have a good time! I have met others who
not only share the love of papercrafting, but who have inspired me, shared techniques and
ideas, and their style of creating. The games, theme nights, stretches--all make for a lot of
laughing and good clean fun! And did I mention the food? and the stores? It can't get better
than this. Blanca, thanks for the mini va-ca!

I had a great time at last year's retreat. Not only did I get a ton of work done, but also had a
great time meeting others. Everyone was so nice. The other scrap bookers were great
about sharing ideas and suggestions or just giving feed back. The games kept things
moving along.

I've attended one retreat & can't wait for the next one. It was a great time and very
productive. There was a lot of fun and games to participate in if one chooses. If you just
want to crop, that is ok too. There was a great "make & take" project with a couple of
demonstration times & then you could finish at your convenience. There was plenty of
space to set up, including extension cords for extra lighting, or tools that need power.
There was additional tools that people could use if you wanted. I would definitely
recommend it for anyone who wants some serious scrapbook time.

I have attended every November crop. It has been a fun and productive time. I go with a
group of friends and have met some fun people and got great page and card ideas also! It
is so much fun to get away and crop for three days!!! I plan on attended this year's in
November!

Fun time and a great opportunity to complete pages!

I attend several crops a year from small to medium to huge. This is by far my favorite crop
every year and I look forward to it as it approaches. The event is well organized and
planned. The games are interactive and fun. The prizes have been wonderful. The team
and individual contests including outfits and songs and dances are so much fun. There are
also small demo projects provided that are a nice break from your work. The atmosphere is
relaxed. Everyone is friendly and interacts with one another. At other crops people stay to
themselves, but here I never feel like anyone is a stranger. We laugh hysterically all
weekend! The "stretch breaks" are a blast! Everyone stands up and boogies to the music.
And amazingly, even though there are so many fun activities going on, I'm most productive
at this crop every year. Can't wait for November!

I love our fall retreats. I get more done at the retreat than the whole rest of the year. It also
gives me a head start on xmas cards. I look forward to it very year!

This retreat is one I look forward to each year. It is large enough to provide stimulus and
interest, yet small enough to feel "homey." We work at our own pace and rest when we
need to, or work all night. The camaraderie we feel is a boon to creativity. The value we
receive is far above the cost.
