"Craft Your Christmas" Retreat
October 12, 13, 14, 2018
Doubletree by Hilton Hotel
Santa Ana, California 

Welcome to the fifth annual Ruthless Stamping Retreat! 
I am so excited about this upcoming retreat! 

Does the thought of getting away for a weekend with other women, while you stamp and craft to get ready for the Christmas holidays, sound wonderful to you?
Then come away with Ruthless Stamping for our fifth annual
"Craft your Christmas" retreat!
You'll be crafting in a lovely setting while having your meals deliciously prepared and served for you!  You'll make new friends!  You'll go home with wonderful completed paper crafting projects that will help you celebrate Christmas while reducing the stress! 
 
Come and join me at this "Craft Your Christmas" event! There will be great door prizes for all, fun and inspiring WOW demonstrations, and lots of fun surprises!  
You are going to love our venue!  The location is great, because you'll feel like you really got away, and yet you won't spend hours on the freeway on Friday night! You'll be pleased with the meals and their presentation.  You'll be excited about the lovely and clean rooms, the exercise room, the pool, the pond, our meeting room, and the great customer service in the hotel.

All your projects will be prepared for you, so you can come and learn techniques and assemble your projects without the delay of doing your own measuring and cutting. You'll be pleased with the variety and creativity of all the projects.
