A little Update...

As some of you know there was a miss-communication at the hotel on what dates and how much space we need for our June event. The hotel has a Jr. ballroom towards the front entry but before confirming I want to go over there and check out the lighting.
Sorry for the delay but I would rather be sure than have us in a dark room. The room is available June 17-19, 2011 so that is the date I am looking at confirming.

Once again I am sorry for the delay but I want to be sure before booking the room. Thank you!

About Donna Salazar:
Donna fell in love with both art and her husband in high school. A lot has changed in her life in the last 20 years but these two constants remain the same. Donna is living her dream... making a living as an artist. She loves seeing the beauty that surrounds her in everyday life and you will see her favorite things (that portray her Glamorously Grungy style) show up in her design work. She never uses clip art but chooses to take her own photos and alter them in Photoshop to create her papers and stamps. She had her first major launch of "Donna Salazar Products" in January 2010 with 4 paper lines, her Crafty Chronicle, 24 stamps, and her Distrezz-it-all tool (which was created in partnership with Zutter) after a small introduction to designing, at Summer CHA 2009, with Pinecone Press.

August 18 2010


We are about 1 month from the September Retreat. Amazing! At this time I am finalizing room listings (roommates) and payment options. I will be giving the final room listing and count to the hotel this week. Yikes! So this is what I need (if I don't already have it): Room occupancy number, and names of roommates. If you are a consultant or work for a scrapbooking related company I would love to know at this time too. Also the city you live in is very helpful for distance traveled prizes, etc

Our new venue has lots more room so we are still taking reservations but for full payment only!
September's Retreat payments options!

I must have payments as soon as possible or late fee may be added as of August 21st.

Your final payment options:

*send a check to:
Desert Scrappers Weekend Retreats
c/o: Laura Miller
80765 Diamondback TRL
Indio, CA 92201

*transfer paypal $ via email address filmlaura@hotmail.com

*request a credit card invoice
Thank you for keeping up with your payments! If unsure what your balance is, please feel free to reply to this letter with a balance request or call me at 760-791-6304. Thank you again and I can not wait to meet you all.

P.S. email itineraries including complete class schedules will be sent out aprrox. 10 days before the event. Hopefully the first few days of September. Plus the teachers & vendors have begin to make announcements via DS Blog. Check out some of the early shopping specials too.

BEEP BEEP! News alert..

I just got this from the one & only Donna Salazar:

Hi ladies,

I’ve already added the [Desert Scrappers Weekend Retreat] dates to my website and I’ll have the samples done in a couple days (I have to finish up a few other projects that are on a tight deadline). I am going to try to get to the hotel early on Friday to get everything set up and settled in. I would like to teach the classes as Jen listed below and if you can squeeze me in somewhere, a small crop space would be nice. I will more than likely be too busy gabbing with everyone to scrap but you never know… I might be inspired and actually get some work done… LOL.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Smooches ~D~

Information under Retreat Details

THANK YOU LADIES!
retreat sept09Well Ladies, we survived a 4.9 Earthquake, bumps, scrapes and new hotel management!
Sadly, after meeting with the Embassy Suites we will no longer be using that venue for our Retreats. But I am excited to say that I have now looked at dozens and I do mean dozens of desert properties and have narrowed it down to 2 fabulous places in the Palm Springs area. I am currently, waiting to get a final table count so we will NEVER have table issues again.
I am a big fan of resolving problems while moving forward and showing the solutions in place. That being said I want to offer everyone who attended the June Retreat a discount on September's Retreat: if you were part of a group, you may still get the same group rate in September even if the group organizer doesn't attend. All other attendees will automatically get the early bird rate as long as they book 30 days in advance. **For those who did not attend in June hurry up and register! I haven't had a chance to up-date the prices from early bird rates. Remember $50 deposit per person locks in your rate.
Hope to see everyone again, soon!
I CAN NOT wait to show you our new venue!
Dear Laura,

Lots of great things are still going on...

All Retreats will still include...
6+ feet of Scrapping Space
Goodies & more goodies
Unlimited Water Service
Classes with Knowledgeable Teachers
Two nights at a fabulous hotel
Three days of Scrapbooking Fun
Games
Drawings for lots of prizes
Swap box
Prize for furthest distance traveled, most & least pages done
PJ night- Saturday
FUN! FUN! FUN!

Some meals will still be included, YEAH!
I am excited to say with more food choices for those like me who are picky eaters.


Gold Buying
Even if you are not attending bring your unwanted gold and silver to the Retreat on Saturday and get CASH!!

It's Not Just About Cropping

This past weekend I went to Desert Scrappers Retreats and took my family along. Most times I do take my family with me. I sign up for the single room rate with Desert Scrappers and I get to scrap while my family relaxes by the pool. It's a really affordable weekend getaway for us all! And then at night for dinner and at breakfast, I get to hang with the family ;) Here's a few of the fun pics from my family hanging at the pool while I got 24 layouts done!

Thursday Add-ons...

I am so excited to share that Thursday add-ons will be able to start scrapping early evening. I am going to say 5pm for now but call my cell: 760-791-6304 if you want to get in earlier, it might just be possible.

My plan for the day: Go to Leia's Kindergarten Graduation, go home pack the cars, pick up Leia from school & head over to the hotel and start setting up. YEAH!!

CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE ALL 111 LADIES!!
