A group of friends and I have just finished our "second annual" mixed media retreat in Big Bear, CA. We decided that this had to be a yearly event. We sew, quilt, scrapbookknit, needlepoint, journal/write and wander. I think we have hit upon a gem of an idea! I love your "mixed media" retreat name! Everyone doesn't know everyone, but someone knows at least 1 person in the group. What a wonderful way to make new friends and keep up with the old!

Best part - the innkeepers call us down from the workroom for meals. When we are done we compliment their cooking and thank them - then we WALK AWAY from the mess and go right back to what we want to do!
