the rooms all have balconies with wrought iron tables/chairs. the beds have 6 pillows each!!! and the rest of it was just beautiful. 5 swimming pools!!! our room was on the 4th floor (top) and faced west so we could watch the sunset from the room. didn't spend much time on the balcony at 110F that's just a little more than i could stand!
this is just one of the little things we did on Thursday - it was part of the opening functions. FUN! this photo is at the bottom of that rock waterfall thing.
This was Hiedi Swapp's class. there are 4 interactive spinning wheels that show the date and the one is for prompts ... the flip chart on the left is for quotes and the one on the right is for photos. very cool. Prima paper, bazzil cardstock (like there was a choice...) and some bling.
The cards are from the Friday night extravaganza. 8 cards by 8 different designers taught by 4 of the designers. very cool. and they gave enough to make 2 of each card. cool ideas there! and of course paper by Imagense (sp?) and bazzil. neat ideas to play with!
and of course, the Tim Holtz class. he's an excellent instructor. very patient. embrace the imperfections. love all the little "pep" talk stuff. so the frame is to hold the pendant when you're not wearing it. the pendant has a clasp AND a ring so that you could wear it as a necklace or pendant. love that. so simple but sooo cool now that i know how to do it! definately going to have to play with that more....that's my short reflections. there were 8 classes - 5 of which were albums. very cool... i'm still trying to figure out where to put it all and what to do next!
but if you ever get a chance - and they're taking names for the lottery at www.creativeescapeaz.com already for next year! go for it! it's not cheap but nothing good ever is!
