This first picture is the conference center where I host the retreats. It is no nice.
The next picture is the conference room where we do all of our creating, classes, etc. Basically everything but sleep. I had the tables set where there were only 2 people per table and they were set in groups so they could talk while they worked.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIq_sF5szYtYvyFDVuLYSrkZQx79bCg0XGqS6OSHF5q4oEOfbAdhVdEIh9t_AZgUxkxNiajm653GrYvKHcycW6xqmnzhPO7h_dIatck300d4dOH1sSrxU4a7lvx_bHsGt06Jw0Mt0nYA/s200/Conference+Room+before+starting.JPG)
Once everyone gets to the retreat with all of their stuff, we have a full room as you can see in the picture below. This is just a portion of what the room looks like after people start arriving.
Of course what is a retreat if there is no place to sleep. We have dorm style sleeping at the facility. What a hoot it is to have one big slumber party. Here are the two rooms for sleeping. No I didn't get anyone asleep. I thought I would be nice.

We had contests, door prizes and a raffle. I raffled off one of the Vituri Scrapbooking bags we carry in the catalog. Here is a picture of the bag with the winner. It is Pam Longfield. She is a very good friend of mine and customer.
I gave away quite a few door prizes but not everyone got to win. Here is a picture of a couple losers. LOL !!! Maybe they will![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV02EY37lf_D3wsgJWQM-G6E2-omxAt6oakr1MPK9hlm3ueNy58xjUUAz2aqiC6cAZzJ1wxLHykDJkp2LB6Pe34EYHyYoNKrxkOPgx_tY9IYc0qA7NXIsYc1BbS7cujhSpv8UffRYt-w/s200/Nancy+%26+Joyce+Losers.JPG)

I got a really good deal on these wood boxes that actually look like they could be used for a purse or file box. I put one in everyone's goodie bag and had a contest for the ones that wanted to decorate them. I will post the two that won the contest. The green one was made by Lori Heath and the black and white one was by Joyce Doehlman.
