Anita’s Fall Retreat Registration is OPEN!

It’s that time… time for seasons to change. I am so ready for the hot and sticky season of Summer to change over to cooler days of Fall… one of my favorite seasons. I wish we could hold on to the colorful and beautiful Fall season longer, but here in Ohio we are sometimes lucky to have it at all. The hot days of Summer seem to barrel right through and over into the cold nights of Winter. There is beauty in all the seasons, but let’s face it, Fall and it’s fun festivals, bright blue skies, colorful leaves, crisp air, chunky sweaters, hot cocoa, bonfires with s’mores and smell of freshly baked pumpkin pies have my heart!

Along with my favorite time of year comes my favorite event of the year… my Fall Weekend Retreat. This year, as with the seasons, we are changing things up a bit. For the first time Fall Retreat will be held locally at a hotel. I know this is a big change and honestly sometimes I struggle adjusting to change. I recently listened to a podcast about change and stepping out of our comfort zone. When we do this we grow and learn and can make things better than they were before. I am really looking forward to our time together and with it being at a hotel with all the comfort and amenities I think this will be a blessing for all of us. And what gal doesn’t like a little pampering ever now and then, right!

Registration for this year’s Fall Retreat is now open. I invite you to join us on the last weekend of October – Friday the 26th through Sunday the 28th at our new venue – Columbus Marriott Northwest in Dublin.

We’ve got a spot for you and would love to have you join us for this year’s Fall Weekend Retreat! It doesn’t matter what creative projects you bring to work on you are welcome to join us for this weekend. So grab a girlfriend and get registered… or come alone. I promise you will make new friends!

PLEASE NOTE:
This year the retreat registration DOES NOT include your optional hotel stay. You will need to make two separate registrations – One for the Retreat itself and one for your hotel room. We do have a block of rooms for a special rate. Below you will find the link to Download the Registration Information with all the details.

Christmas Sugar Scrub

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of sharing a quick and fun DIY project with Mom Connection, a group of young moms at my church. When I was asked to come up with a creative activity lots of ideas went through my head. Young moms definitely need to feel loved, appreciated and pampered so I decided to share with them how to make a yummy homemade sugar scrub. Sugar scrubs are such a simple way to pamper yourself and they make a wonderful gift during the Christmas season. Continue reading →

You’re Made for God-Sized Dreams

Have you ever had a dream or desire that started as a quiet whisper in your heart?

For me it was a whisper that started out so subtle that for days, weeks or maybe even years it was drowned out or pushed aside as I moved through life’s daily tasks.

I even began to wonderful if I ever heard anything at all.

A few years ago I found myself going through life unable to see clearly. I was blindly operating on “auto-pilot”. When asked how I was doing I would even catch myself saying, “I’m surviving” or “Just trying to get through this day”. I had gotten trapped behind negative self talk and even started to believe this was as good as it was gonna get. Have you ever found yourself there? Continue reading →

Fall Stamp Camp Weekend Retreat

YES!!! It’s that time!!!!

It’ time for my Fall Stamp Camp Weekend Retreat!!!

Registration is now open
I have to admit… sometimes want to change the name because there is so much more that happens than stamping. Those of you that have been know what I mean.

Even though for me it’s one of the most physically exhausting events I do… when I enter the grounds and start to drive back this familiar road I can literally feel the stress leaving my body and a sense of peace comes over me. I’m able to just breathe… Continue reading →
