We live in a crazy, busy world. Each day is filled from morning to night with activities. We live each day going from one activity to the next. Sometimes we are able to step back for a minute and reflect on our lives. In a recent reflection the thought came to my tired, worn out mind……life is beautiful. Even though life can be draining and exhausting, there are moments that are amazing and beautiful. Our theme for this fall retreat is “Life is Beautiful. Enjoy the Ride.” I have always been so amazed that even in our most trying, pain-filled times that if we look… if we search, we can find beauty. It is all around us. I think back

There are only 10 more sleeps until the Fall Retreat on October 19th & 20th! We are so excited to see each one of you! We hope you have your projects packed and ready to go. Don’t forget your pj’s for our pajama party Friday night. If you are wondering what else to bring, check out this blog post here. (It has info from our first retreat, but still applies). Here is a look at the schedule for Fall Retreat. We have wonderful classes planned, free make and takes, amazing door prizes, a sweet shop, and the Ruby Bucket Boutique. We can’t wait to see you there!

We are so excited to have Geri teach a beading class at our Fall Retreat! She makes phenomenal jewelry and is extremely talented! Here are a few fun tidbits about her. Hi, My name is Geri Allred and I worked closely with Heather Clark at PGi. She got me started with scrapbooking and introduced me to her wonderful sister and mom. We laughed so hard every retreat that my stomach would get sore. I am grateful to continue to be a part of the fun Idaho group of talented ladies! I started making jewelry about 10 years ago with my Aunt Kay. We get together weekly to hand stitch jewelry together, talk about designs, and practice Tai Chi. As you can see
