Hi again friends. As promised, we’re sharing more details today regarding next Fall’s event to let you know what you can expect during the weekend mountain retreat. It’s gonna be a jam-packed weekend with fun and creativity!

Thursday evening will be our kick-off party with a Meet & Greet, light snacks and refreshments. (Alcohol is welcome but not provided by the Inn, so plan to BYOB if that’s what you enjoy). In addition, we’ll have a few make-n-takes that you're sure to love. This will be a great time to get to know other guests. We’ll also have a few special give-aways to get the weekend off to an exciting start.

Friday morning will start with a delicious breakfast in the dining room, followed shortly thereafter with a morning class with Ginger. We’ll take a lunch break, then start back into a fun class with Maggi. Then dinner and an evening class with Annette which will finish by 8:30 or so, leaving you the rest of the evening to mingle or finish up any projects from the day. Of course, there will be give-aways, games and other fun offerings sprinkled throughout the day.

Saturday’s schedule will be similar to Friday, but with your morning class by Maggi, then Annette, and finishing with Ginger in the evening.

Sunday morning breakfast, then an optional make-n-take project, leaving you plenty of time to pack and check out. 

It’s sure to be a fun-filled, creative weekend. Remember, registration opens on January 1 at noon, EST right here on the blog. First come, first served. Hope you can join us!

Announcing...Your Creative Mountain Retreat!

Hi everyone! We're super excited to start sharing some information about our upcoming event in 2017. So let's get right to it!

Your Creative Mountain Retreat is a unique crafting get-away in the mountains of North Carolina, scheduled for Thursday, October 26 though Sunday, October 29, 2017. This exclusive creative retreat is hosted by three top Graphic 45 designers, Maggi Harding, Annette Green and Ginger Ropp. This glorious get-away is all-inclusive! One price covers lodging, meals, six fabulous classes (two by each designer), make-n-takes, goodies, games, prizes and more at the beautiful Echo Mountain Inn in Hendersonville. 

Since this is a Bed & Breakfast-style inn, space is limited. Registration begins at noon (EST) January 1, 2017. Maximum capacity is 28 guests and reservations will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. This is our inaugural Creative Retreat and we're starting small for good reason. We want to make sure this is a wonderful experience for you AND for us, that may hopefully become an annual event. We'll be looking for your feedback, so wouldn't you love to be part of that?

How much does it cost? There will be single and double room options available, and either a Pay in Full option, or a Payment Plan option. Here's how it will go...

Pay in Full (A savings of $20.00!)
• Single Room: $839
• Double Room: $779 per person

Payment Plan
• Single Room: $859
• Double Room: $799 per person
(The payment plan option will require an up-front deposit of $215 and three payments thereafter from February - April of 2017)

We know a lot of you are excited for this and don't want to miss out. We're excited too and can't wait to share more information soon so please be patient, watch our blog for updates, and be ready on January 1 to secure your spot. Please do not call or contact Maggi, Annette or Ginger personally with special requests or questions yet. For now, simply post your comments below and if you have a question, we'll be sure to answer it promptly under your question for all to see. This will help others who may have the same question.

In the meantime, tell your friends, watch our blog and Facebook pages, and stay tuned for more!
