this weekend we hosted a retreat at the craft house!
a group of women from a church in colorado came all together in a motor home!
they meet together as a small group to study God's word and to get creative.
these women loved each other, enjoyed being together and were such an encouragement to me.
we had an absolutely AWESOME time.
we got the house all ready…smelling good…sparkling clean…candles lit…music on…just beautiful!
since this weekend was different from a regular Craft Weekend there were no sponsors or swag.
they were A M A Z I N G and they brought their own swag!!!
they each brought a gift for everyone and they put it all together in one bag.
it was SO much fun to watch them open each item and hear the special reason they made or gave it.
it was like christmas!
and they even brought swag for kimberlee and i!!
we were surprised and grateful.
there was a birthday and they toasted their friend!
they wanted to go out to our favorite antiques store and the barn.
which meant kimberlee and i got to ride in the motor home!
oh my goodness it was the coolest thing ever.
i want one now!!
🙂
this was such a fun group of ladies!
this is what i came home with this week from the shop.
there is ALWAYS something to find. ;)
these were confident, happy crafters that truly enjoyed being together and creating.
thank you colorado girls for making my weekend so wonderful.
i thought it would be great and it was so much more than that!
i feel so blessed to have met all of you.
can't wait till next year!

Jacci in Ohio - Oh, wow. Like a million times wow. Craft Weekend is *wonderful*… WONDERFUL! But, as much as I would love to come to a CW, how much more would I love to travel with a group of friends, spend time in the Word and praying together, and hanging out, celebrating friendship and giving thanks together?! In the Craft House??!! That sounds just about perfect.
What a blessing to be able to use your gifts that way this weekend 🙂
Sheila P. - Do I spy Miss Sally in one of the pictures? Love her!

Linda - Every time I catch a glimpse of the craft house it just makes me want to move it. It is so beautiful and happy! Wish I could capture that same essence in my own home. Thanks again for your constant inspiration!
ira lee - i love this! how fun that they rolled up in a rv! what?!!?!?! lol
Lilly - I found it! It was indeed Katie Daisy, somehow I missed it. Thanks 🙂
Lilly - Hi Meg – the first picture has a lovely print in it (above the bed “tell me…”) . Is that from Katie Daisy? I looked on her site but didn’t see it. Would love to get one for my little home, too! Thanks 🙂
Katie Jones - Oh my gosh! That is amazing!! I host a womens bible study at my home every Tuesday night! We have been meeting for a year on November 1st. This would be amazing!!!!!! How much do you charge for a group to come? Or are you even up for that kind of thing???? My ladies would go crazy for a weekend like this. We live in MO about 4 hours away!!!!
Jen - I’m feeling like you are living in quiltville where all the pretty quilts abide and in living in the land of no quilts. I NEED some!! Whenever I see them in our antique shops they are always so expensive. Or maybe I’m just cheap ha! Either way so jealous!
