June Retreat

Ooo Aaah!!! Retreat ! I always look forward to Retreat every year and everyone else that goes, agrees. We had perfect weather, not to hot, not to cold, it was just right. We had wonderful food, thanks to Jolynn Johnston, we hope she shares her great recipes with us and I will post them here. We also had supper cute surprises and favors thanks to Betty Van Pelt. And the awesome projects and talented teachers of which were so kind to share their time with us. It couldn't get any better than this. We are so blessed to have Jolynn share her family's beautiful cabin with us up in the Wasatch Mountains. Our theme this year as you could guess from the sign up project pictures was Witches.
