Happy Monday Yall!!
What a wonderful weekend with the Creative Chicks of Texas! 🐥
Angela and I had such a great time at their Fall Retreat! Coordinators Leisha and Becky did an amazing job, and fun was definitely had by all 31 ladies.
And I just have to say—it was SO nice being on the receiving end of a retreat where all the meals were provided! I just wouldn’t want to do it any other way, lol! And Chef Leisha prepared a few dishes that may just have to make an appearance on my own retreat menus! 😜
We arrived at the Rockin’R in Temple knowing only a few of the ladies, but we left with more new friendships than we could count on two hands. That’s one of the things we love most about crafting retreats—the friendships made around the tables are every bit as special as the projects we create.
This was our second event with this wonderful group. We first met them at a retreat in January, were invited to bring our Grace & Grit Designs pop-up shop to their spring retreat, and were thrilled to return for their fall gathering.
They hired us to create their adorable mascot, Lucille (the cute little chick in the center) for the spring retreat and we have had fun creating friends for her and putting them together in a few designs. They were very popular this past weekend! Our personalized name sheets were also a big hit. I’ll be busy printing 13 of them this week! If you are thinking ahead for Christmas gifts, this is something that you can get for those “hard to buy for” family & friends. But don’t wait until the last minute!
Grace & Grit Designs LOVES working with crafting retreats of every size. Whether we can attend your retreat with our pop-up shop or help you from afar, let us know how we can make your event extra special!
We can create a custom design to represent your theme or weekend and put it on:
👕 T-shirts
👜 Tote bags
🥤 Tumblers
✨ And more!
No order is too small or too large. This retreat had 31 ladies, my monthly Creative Critterz retreats host 16, and we work with an annual Louisiana event that welcomes approximately 250 crafters!
Thank you, Leisha, Becky and all the Creative Chicks of Texas, for making us feel so welcome. We can’t wait to craft, laugh and create more memories with you again!
