Hello Crafting Friends!

EARLY-BIRD RETREAT REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR MY NOVEMBER 2025 RETREAT! ALL PRICES INCREASE BY $25 AFTER JANUARY 1, 2025.

Happy Valley Conference Center, nestled between Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley, is the perfect destination for you to do the things YOU love to do! There is NO agenda for the weekend except for YOUR agenda! The food is fantastic, the setting serene, and the focused time away, invaluable! Pack up your scrapbook or crafting gear and come spend a weekend working on your favorite projects! Check out this YouTube video for a glimpse into your weekend escape!

This retreat is a 3-night minimum weekend (either Thursday-Sunday or Friday-Monday) with the option to add on the 4th night. Pricing is as follows:

Thursday 3pm-Sunday 3pm OR Friday 3pm-Monday 3pm: $480
Thursday 3pm-Monday 3pm: $600

Your retreat cost includes all meals (except for Thursday dinner for those arriving Thursday), accommodations in rooms that sleep 2-4* guests, and a full 6' table for crafting. Check out www.happyvalleycc.org for more info on this great venue! (For those planning to arrive Friday, there is also the option to add on a 9 AM early arrival time Friday for an extra $35, which includes Friday lunch.)

Your minimal on-line deposit of $25 here on Humanitix is NON-REFUNDABLE, but will be applied to the final cost of your retreat. Once you have registered, I will send you an invoice with your final bill and detailed info on how to make your final payment.

Final payments will be due by SEPT. 15, 2025. Feel free to make payments of smaller amounts between now and then, if that is helpful.

CANCELLATION POLICY: NO refunds of deposits will be given. Once your payment has been made in full, you can receive a FULL refund (minus the $25 deposit) up until one month prior to retreat, a 50% refund until two weeks prior to the retreat, and no refunds can be given within two weeks of the retreat start date (but a retreat credit may be given towards a future event).

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Hope to see you at Happy Valley soon!
