Today Tracey and I took a ride down to Lacombe, LA. It’s a little over an hour from Baton Rouge towards Slidell and we went specifically to check out Pine Lily Retreat. It is a “ladies only retreat” that is geared to crafting. The house has a very homey feel and sleeps 8 with room for 2 more. It offers a full kitchen with everything you need (if you feel like cooking) and laundry room. Now the good part–the 2 car garage has been turned into a huge craft room. 10 six foot tables and comfy chairs are in the room and electrical outlet for everyone. She has supplies we can use, a big shot and a cricut. She has had class/groups that painted, sewed and just about any other activity you can think of. Last year the Baton Rouge Stampin’ Up! demonstrators had our first annual retreat! So guess where we are going this year! June can’t get here soon enough!
