2014 Retreat - "We Dig Painting"
February 20-22, 2014
Well the 2014 retreat have come & gone and we all had a great time.  We exhibited our "Gardening" knowledge, "Tangled" our Zen, "Exercised" our brains, tried out "New Products," shared ideas and met up with old friends.

Thank you to everyone for working so hard to make this year's retreat another big success.

Check out the four slideshows below to see how creative we are.

We exhibited our "Gardening" knowledge.

We had such a great time at our 2013 Retreat, that we can hardly wait to get to Blue Lake for the 2014 event.
                                    Cost:  $150.00 - includes shared room, meals and projects.
                                    Location:  Blue Lake Methodist Camp, Andalusia, AL

Things you should bring

You will need to bring the Medical Emergency Form.  Please fill it out and put in a sealed business size envelope with your name on the front.  You will each need to bring a WHITE plastic tablecloth, rectangular, 108" long.  This is the thin one sold at Dollar General, WalMart, etc in the birthday section.
       Bring usual painting supplies, Assortment of brushes, disposable palette pad, water basin, stylus, tracing paper, transfer paper (light and dark), paper towels, plastic store bag (for trash at table), tape, scissors are always good, ruler.
             Add to the list of things you will need to bring.
      3 bottles of paint - your favorite colors.  Be sure to put your name on them.  Address labels work well for this.  
        1  StazOn Black ink stamp pad.  The ink pad should be this brand.  Other brands did not work as well with one of the projects.  This will be used in more than one project.  Be sure to put your name on it too.
       We are providing a variety of embellishments to be used on a couple of projects, but you are also welcome to bring some of your own.  Fibers, sort of flat embellishments.


Keep checking the website for any specific requirements under the individual projects.
       Please remember that everyone attending the retreat will be expected to contribute some work effort in support of the retreat.  If you have not participated in the prep, you will be assigned necessary activities at the retreat.  This policy was established in order not to charge more for non-WDP members.
      We hope to have some relaxing time this year.
