Stamping Butterfly- Stampin' Up Demonstrator Sherry Wayt

Having a wonderful day today with these sweet ladies.

When you are doing prep for your Saturday class and get a new idea....you gotta go for it! My desk is such a mess and I keep moving stuff over so I can work the next idea.

Wow!!! I can sure make a mess! No wonder I can't find my pokie tool! I'm casing a fun card by Erica Cerwin. It was just hard to pass up.

So, today I decided I felt well enough to do a little cleaning up in my room and maybe try to craft a little if I can sit long enough. So my first thing I did was unpack all the boxes that have been sitting for a month. Some of the DSP is for retreat this year, but the kits.... we have so many pretty kits .... I can't help myself right now. This does NOT include the 23 kits that are stacked in my shelf. I think I might need an intervention.... or maybe a few good friends to come over and make some cards with me :)

Part 2 of early morning stamping. Now it's time to go get my hair done before I have even more fun!!

This is another picture heavy post.

I was going to space these pictures out but it's just easier to post them all at one time. Everyone wanted to see the projects I designed for the kits I made for my retreat. Each person got to make at least 2 of these items with some being up to 5 cards. It was a HUGE kit but everyone loved them. Since this kit was paid for by the people who attended, I will not be doing public video's for them. I did do 35 video's for the kit but they will stay private for the retreat ladies only. 🙁 However, if there's something you love and would like to know what products I used I'm sure I could help you. 🙂
I would love to hear what you think of them. 🙂

I've been recovering from retreat and some upper respiratory issues that were from very bad allergies so I haven't had time to post everything. Here are some more amazing pictures from my retreat. My retreat was held at Circles Retreat on Lake Whitney here in Texas. Rebecca Kitowski is the owner of this beautiful place and I have to tell you I can't rave about her or the retreat venue enough. The beds were wonderful, the whole house is amazing and had everything we needed for a fantastic time.

I have already booked for my April 2025 retreat and am currently full with a waiting list.

Here are a few fun pictures from our time at the Circles Retreat. I will make another post with all the cards. I haven't gotten all the pictures in from everyone yet so I'll try to add more later. I know I'm missing one of the meal teams but also some pictures that I took with friends. We took SO many pictures and such a fantastic time. Memories to last a lifetime! I'm looking forward to next year and have already started the planning.

I also want to thank all of the ladies that came and the ones that didn't come who pitched in for the gift that was given to me. I really love my new set of luggage! I love you all and appreciate you so much. Thank you

I had such a wonderful time with these very sweet ladies at my Stamping Butterflies retreat Circles Retreat. I sure do love all of you! Thank you for spending this time with me. Can't wait for next year!

Many of you have asked where it is my retreat is at this year. We are going to Circles Retreat. The website is https://www.circlesretreat.com/ . The owner is Amazing, she's been so kind and so helpful this whole time. Even when I ask her stupid questions. :P I really can't wait to see it in person, I just know it's going to be wonderful. It overlooks Lake Whitney here in Texas.

Last two cars loaded up and ready! Pink box kits for all the ladies! We leave at 5:30 in the morning, I am soooo excited! Can't wait to spend time with everyone.

Thanks to my friend and upline Janice Adams one car is now packed for retreat. Here shortly we will pack Kathy's and Yolanda Hernandez-Unuigbe cars up. I'm so thankful to all of these ladies for helping me get all of the fun stuff to retreat.

Finished the saran ball. It's huge! It's very heavy!!! I will be giving a prize for the correct guess of the weight. I will reveal the weight at retreat next week. There will be a prize for non retreat goers in the US only and one for the ladies who attend retreat. This is cross posted on my business page as well.

Getting ready to make the saran ball for retreat!! So much fun. What's your guess on the final weight?

Kits are finally going into the boxes! Woohoo.

My living room is so full of retreat it's gonna pop!

I have 1 spot that has come open for my April 10-14th Retreat at Lake Whitney, Tx at the Circles retreat. The retreat cost is 275.00 per person and 125.00 for the kit. The kit has 35 Unique projects with each one making between 2 and 5 of that item. So over 85 items in total. I would love to fill this spot, if you are a stamper and would love to come spend some time having a blast and staying up late laughing and crafting and eating wonderful food, let me know.

Playing with the mini alphabet once again. I have to say, these have been so handy when working on retreat stuff.

Today Kathy and I worked on putting numbers on all the kits and putting the boxes together. Tomorrow we will build the kits. I'm getting so excited about retreat! It's taken over my living room for sure!

Fun with the mini alphabet die tonight. It might be time for new grid paper 😄 🤣

Thank goodness for my die cutting fairy Kathy Wilhite Painter. I'm working on packaging this kit up for retreat. I just love the colors!

I was holding Bella at my desk and she wanted up on my desk. She had fun. Sniffing everything lol my little helper. Show me a picture of your helper.

Still so much prep work going on for retreat. My front room is a mess because it's retreat prep center lol. I'm still working on kits, but this is what I've gotten done so far.

More pretty kits in the works. I'm over half way done with the 1700 kits now. I need February to be longer!
