55 ladies from California, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee came together to Hueston Woods for a weekend full of no-pressure crafting, yummy food and making new friends!
We all had such a great time together! I was also so pleased that I was able to pull off surprise goody bags and prizes for everyone without the guests expecting them... I love surprises!!!
