Destination Create 2009

Destination Create 2009 was an awesome event that was a blast to attend. We were lucky enough to have Caronline Lau from Maya Road there to teach some classes and share some Maya Road product with us - what a treat! I took Caroline's Home Reflections class, and managed to finish this sweet mini album. Thanks, Angela, for taking this (and actually getting the album in the photo!)
The theme for Saturday night's crop party was Hawaiian Luau. Our table created quite the tiki bar (thanks, Kat for your luau decor!) and managed to win the best table decor prize. It was wonderful sharing a table with Angela, Kat, Lori and Jennifer, and despite that I had a miserable ear infection (which I STILL have!), we had some great laughs.
My friend Leanne also came to this year's DC for the first time, and her table tried to give us a run for our money in the table decor contest. Gina, Nancie, Carole and Leanne were a ton of fun to be with, too. Hostesses Patti and Elia were kind and gracious, not to mention a whole lot of laughs. We celebrated Patti's 40th birthday on Saturday night, and really surprised her.

So, for those of you who stayed home this NSD and think you want to attend a retreat next year instead, I highly recommend Destination Create. I will be posting photos of the Home Reflections album as well as the other items I created at the retreat soon, so stay tuned.
