Stampin' Sisters Retreat Day 2 — Everyone returned Saturday morning refreshed and ready to go. They were greeted with fresh stamping mats and this adorable bag at their table.

What could be inside?

It's the Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment Kit!!
They used some of this for their second stamping project.
We'll come back to that later.
They stamped two projects and we continued to play "Go Fishing" so everyone could win a prize. Here's Tammy giving it her best shot.
We let them stand as close as they wanted and they had to get a ping pong ball in a fish bowl. Then they got to choose a bag of fish (heehee — loved this).

Each bag of fish had a number on it — that told us what prize they won.

After the two projects we provided them with a fabulous lunch.
Here is the manager, Mark, making sure everything was just right.

They had salad, antipasto, two kinds of pasta (they even made gluten free pasta for three of us — that was so nice), garlic bread, meatballs, grilled chicken strips.

AND of course we couldn't forget dessert — chocolate anyone.

After lunch they swapped cards they had made.
Trying to get 70 ladies divided into groups was quite the task but they managed it well.

Sandi didn't make a card for her swap — she made a tag for a cute striped box.

And she filled the box with a GIANT homemade, beautifully decorated cupcake.
And she didn't make just for her swap group — she made a cupcake for all 80 people.
Needless to say — everyone was thrilled!!!

She even made me some gluten free desserts — she is so sweet.

That's enough for now — come back tomorrow and I'll share the afternoon with you.
