Have you checked out Pinterest?

This is a "Fairy" Garden that I made this weekend, after seeing something similar on Pinterest. It is in an old half-cut wine barrel.
I always check out Pinterest to get inspiration and enjoy what others are doing in the creative world.

The ground cover plants are small, but they will grow and cover the ground area.

WRITER'S RETREAT: We are looking at the possibility of having another retreat in late 2014 or early 2015.

This was the schedule at our last retreat.

Writer's Retreat 2012 WAS AMAZING...

The second annual "Writer's Retreat" was held November 2-4, 2012 at Bolton Camp. It was an incredible weekend with others who love the craft of writing.

Schedule: November 2 - 4, 2012

Friday, November 2nd: The Retreat will begin with Dinner at 6:00PM in the Dining Hall.

There will be a "meet and greet" meeting, after Dinner, where the participants will recieve their Conference Packets.

Saturday will be a full day of activities and the final meeting will be on Sunday at 10:00AM.

*This retreat is "out in the country." The camp is beautiful and the Dining Hall over-looks a lake.
