Read what
retreaters have to say about this annual event:
"It's fun, it's lively
and always full of suprises! To be a part of something so warm
and creative for a whole weekend- it jumpstarts my creative juices
every time! I love seeing how others create- putting their
project together, it's fascinating and you can always guarantee to
see something you haven't before! This weekend immerses me in
total creativity, sharing and inspiration! I don't have to cook, I
don't have to clean, I don't have to let the dog out. All my
responsibilities are gone- except for the one to have fun and
enjoy!" Andrea Rivers - Federal Way, WA
"These events have allowed me to
retreat from the emotional roller coasters of personal tragedies and
health issues and be renewed in the love, caring, and sharing of the
fellowship of other women creating beautiful art. I look forward to
seeing old friends and making new ones."
Sue Lewis - Seattle, WA
"The location is near enough to Seattle to provide the chance to
explore the city before or after the retreat. The setting for the
retreat itself is ideal, in a secluded and beautiful wooded campus
which also provides opportunity for quiet rest, exercise (in the
pool), and outdoor walks. I have attended many events at this
location and the food served has always been excellent. Along
with as much stamping as you could hope to fit into one weekend,
participants are sure to laugh, play and explore their creativity
all in a friendly, supportive and relaxing atmosphere."
Julie Imsland - North Bend, WA
"If you are looking for the MOST fun in
sisterhood, you have found it with the Pennywise Arts weekend
retreat! Stay on campus at a wonderful Christian college in the
mountains of Washington State. Food, lodging, and entertainment are
under one roof for the most amazing weekend of crafts, laughs and
friendship. Once-met girlfriends become life-long pals and
this semi-newbie crafter couldn't be more pleased with all of the
talented gals that fly in from all over the world, for this event.
This is the one place you can relax and craft as much or as little
as you like!"
Melissa Ragsdill - Kingwood, TX
I’ve traveled all around the
U.S. attending art retreats, and without question, the PWA WLSBP is
the most fun. It’s not just the projects (which are outstanding)
but the friendships formed that make it so special. I was a little
scared to go to my first one, but this will be my third party, and I
fly in from Michigan to attend. It is SO worth it! It really is a
party, like having a sleepover with 50 of your closest friends. If
they weren’t friends before you got there, they will be when you
leave! I had
never rubber stamped before my
first WLSBP, and now I am totally hooked. The support of all the
women there was just an incredible experience.
Debbie Warren - Midland, MI
"Don't miss the shopping road trip on
Monday!! It's the icing on the weekend cake!!" Suzanne Glazier
- North Bend, WA
