Hello Crafty Campers!

Well as most of you have probably read by now, I have officially reserved the dates for our Second Annual Crafty Camper Art Retreat, December 10th-13th! We had such a blast last year, we decided 3 days just were just not enough, so I have added Thursday! I have been busy considering all of the details of this super fun weekend and I hope that you are as excited as I am to get away and feed your creative soul in the beautiful surroundings of The Aravaipa Canyon. Since this retreat will be right before the Holiday season, we will have lots of projects geared toward gift giving, as well as lots of other artistic fun!

I am committed to providing you a fabulous weekend jam packed with great food, great friends, and great art. You will have ample opportunities to sew, solder, bead, fold, mold, paint, collage,
and more . There will truly be 'something for everyone' and with the unique structure of workshops, EVERYONE will be able to participate in EVERYTHING! You won't have to 'pick and choose', which is something I am really thrilled about.

PLEASE NOTE: The $100.00 fee listed in the event description is for your deposit only. Here are the details of the cost and what is included:


* $320.00 for 3 nights/4 days (does not include transportation costs, please see * note below)

* Lodging at The Aravaipa Canyon Ranch (shared occupancy-the lodge consists of several large guest rooms with between 3-5 beds in each. Beds will be assigned as you arrive at the Ranch)

* All meals and beverages from noon Thursday through noon Sunday (10 meals in total plus snacks)

* All supplies and instructions for art projects throughout the weekend (an average of 3 workshops per day)

* Game night and campfire karaoke with smore's fixin's

* Plenty of free time to explore the gorgeous Aravaipa canyon and creek

* Manicures and Margaritas night

* Super stuffed "Goodie Bags" for each camper

* A wonderful massage therapist will be joining us this year and I will post details soon as to how you can schedule an optional massage with her!

Space is limited, so reserve your spot early! The Retreat is open to the first 12 members** and a $100.00 deposit will be required to reserve your spot. You may make a deposit via PayPal or by check. If you would prefer to make your deposit payment by check, please RSVP 'yes' and then immediately contact me for mailing arrangements and I will hold your spot for 1 week. Deposits are non refundable. The balance of $220.00 must be paid in total no later than November 15th. Once your deposit is received, you will receive an e-mail 'what to bring' list.

If you would prefer to pay the entire amount in one payment and do so by September 15th, I will give you an 'early bird discount' of $20.00, making your total cost $300.00 .

If you have any questions, please contact me and I will get back to you ASAP.

Thanks and I can't wait to get crafty with you all!

*Aravaipa Canyon Ranch is gorgeous, but it is about a 2 1/2 hour drive and getting there does require driving approximately 10 miles of unpaved road and crossing the creek. Because of this, we would like minimize the number of vehicles that make the trip. If you plan on attending and have an SUV or other higher clearance vehicle and you would be willing to take 3-4 riders, please let me know ASAP. Once we have the final list of attendees and vehicles, we will be arranging carpools to leave the Phoenix area early Thursday morning (December 10th) and head back to town Sunday afternoon (December 13th).

**Attendance at the retreat is limited to members of The Not Your Grandma's Super Hip Chic Craft Club. If you have a friend who would like to attend, please help them through the process of joining meetup.com and becoming a member of the Hip Chics.
