Well hello! First off. WOW and THANK YOU For all the wonderful comments about my blog post from Monday. It so nice to put your heart out there about something you love and have people "get it" and respect it! so THANK YOU!
As you know from reading Monday's blog post.. I wrote about my first every She Matters Retreat I hosted a few short weeks ago. I am excited to announce the Winter and Spring dates for 2014 today!
I will post a link to MOST of the information below.. but here is a little bit about each one!
She Matters Winter Mini Retreat 2014
(update! only one spot left!!)
This retreat is my FIRST mini retreat! It will be a four day retreat hosted here at my house & studio in small town Idaho! It will be hosted in January and January in Idaho is a BEAUTIFUL time! We have oodles and oodles of white snow.. warm cozy nights and days. Its simply breathtaking. This is an ALL inclusive retreat which means it includes ALL your lodging, ALL meals, ALL snacks, and ALL your supplies as well! You do NOT NEED To bring a thing.. except your paint clothes and an open heart and mind! (and maybe an extra suitcase lol)
The theme for this retreat is going to be centered on the many sides of She Art. As you may know from my current, A girl a day, 30 day challenge.. I have been really enjoying exploring lots of different medias when creating my girls. Both faceless and those with faces. There is so much more to she art then paper, glue and paint on canvas. Besides this technique, we will also be exploring using charcoals, pastels, watercolors and more! We will also be creating girls with faces, girls without. Whimsical girls, and realistic girls. This retreat will be ALL about girls :).
The dates for this retreat are
January 29th-February 1st 2014!

I have been trying to sign up and pay for the Mini retreat in January, but the website will not let me use the @ symbol to enter my email address. It won't allow it from my keyboard or the Kaspersky keyboard. Please help. I want to sign up before the class gets filled. I started to give you my credit card/PayPal info, but was afraid your system might automatically post the "comment."

Hi, Christy! Wow! I think I read your workshop details and sent in my deposit in record time ... less than 1/2 an hour from your notice arriving in my Inbox. I'm excited beyond words, and counting down the "sleeps" will begin shortly! After following your blog, Instagram and a couple of on-line classes, I feel I already know you and your lovely family ... it will be so wonderful to meet you in person and spend a week with like-minded souls just creating up a storm! Many thanks, Lori

I so wish I could go to one of your retreats. They seem life changing. Unfortunately I live in PA and can't really afford it, but I can dream and maybe someday attend a retreat. Wish you were in PA!!!! You are amazing and I just love your work and all you do. You have been a huge inspiration for me. I've taken all of your classes online and I have grown so much with my art. I recently attended a huge craft fair near my home and sold items!!! it was humbling to have people pay for my work, but felt so good. I also got a lot of nice comments and some of the girls that stopped knew of you from online.
