#WeekendCraftFiesta at #TheScrappinShack in Lake Arrowhead, Ca

I've neglected my blog for a while now. But, I am back! I am excited to share with you all my latest and greatest crafty adventures... Let me start with sharing how I celebrated my birthday last month!

So I decided I wanted to do a craft retreat with a few of my crafty friends for my birthday... I wanted it to be fun, but most of all I also wanted to celebrate a few of my crafty friends' birthdays which were very close to mine.

 

 

So we rented thee most awesome cabin in Lake Arrowhead, Ca - The Scrappin' Shack. It is set up specifically for cropping. There are 8 tables set up in the crop room. Besides having a great set up to craft in, the house is so cozy and comfortable! We rented the cabin from Thursday June 5, 2014 through Sunday, June 8, 2014. First thing I did upon arriving is decorate! I wanted the mood to be festive and fun! I strung streamers and hung tissue paper fans.

 

We had a great time! We all brought different projects to share and gifts for each other. It was so much fun to create the projects that we brought for each other. The gifts were great! I felt so spoiled for the weekend! It was a great time spent with awesome friends! We ventured out for an early dinner on Saturday. We ended up at Papagayo's in Lake Arrowhead Village. It was yummy to say the least! That evening, we celebrated with birthday cupcakes and ice cream sundaes!

 

My creative goal that weekend was to be productive in making some cards. I finished almost 20! So in my eyes, it was a success! In between all the crafting, we sipped on wine and raflled off prizes. We had such a good time that I am planning #WeekendCraftFiesta2 for the fall!
