No-Frills Estes Park Stamp n' Crop Retreat

Hi Stampers, 

I just inherited a stamping and scrapbooking retreat from a friend who can no longer organize it.  Going up to Estes Park to spend Friday - Sunday crafting is such a nice getaway, the trip is not expensive, and the ladies who come are all awesome!  It's so much fun.  

What: Scrapbooking and Stamping Retreat

Where: Big Horn Mountain Lodge in Estes Park

When: Friday May 21st - Sunday May 23rd

How much: $175 for room and board for two days and two nights

Why: Good company, good fun, a chance to craft, a big table all to yourself, and a weekend without husbands, children, or a to-do list.  

We're going back to the Big Horn Mountain Lodge.  It's comfortable, the event center has plenty of room, and it's not expensive.  The cost for two days and two nights (Friday 3:00 - Sunday 3:00), including renting the event center and catering, is $175 per person if you room with someone else (two queen beds), or $235 if you want a single (one king bed).  That price includes breakfasts, plus catered lunch and dinner Saturday.  We'll probably be able to provide our own food Friday night and Sunday afternoon.

For dates I'm looking at the end of May (National Scrapbooking Month!), but not Memorial Day weekend.  So that would be Friday May 21st - Sunday May 23rd.  

Amenities: 

• an 8-foot table all to yourself.
• 24-hour access to the crop room
• internet access 
• a computer and printer available for digital journaling (or anything else)
• use of a friend's Cricut machine (be nice to it)
• a fireplace, balcony, and partial kitchen inside the crop room
• gorgeous views, and Lake Estes within walking distance
• a queen bed (Big Horn can't guarantee room type, but we will probably have no trouble)
• continental breakfast Saturday and Sunday, plus catered lunch and dinner Saturday.

What you should bring: 

• A friend!  The more the merrier.  
• Munchies, soft drinks, alcohol, food to share (if you want)
• Everything craft-related you will need, since Estes Park doesn't have a scrapbooking store.  
• desk lamp, extension cord, computer, etc (optional)

  

PLEASE RSVP if you can come, the sooner the better.  Thank you!
