Artist's Retreat

This summer I tried my hand at having artist's retreats on my ranch. I invited friends to come and spend the weekend and try their hand at creating art projects. We had grilled pizza and even a late evening swimming party. Pojects kept us late into the night and we continued working on them until midday on Sunday.
Everyone seemed to feel a bit more relaxed and truly inspired by what they were able to create. Some liked their Batiks, while others liked their imprinting crosses. I think they were all glad they came and even made suggestions of other retreats they would like for me to have, including mother/daughter, family and youth groups.
All in all, I felt pretty good about everything and I am certainly willing to have more retreats next summer. Who knows, I may not even be able to wait until the summer and scheduled one this fall.
