Theme: Top That!Gives A Hoot!     
Status: A SUCCESS!!
 
November 12-15, 009 Retreat Theme
 
 
Top That’s! goal for our themed weekend is for everyone to stop and look around. To RE-think what supplies you have on hand. To RE-purpose ordinary everyday items that you can add to your projects to give them that extra edge. To RE-member that while we are preserving memories we should also be preserving Mother Earth. This does not imply that you shouldn’t purchase new items, but to think about using everything from your purchase.  This would include using the packaging as embellishment for added flair or using the shopping receipt to punch shapes from.  Top That! wants you to get more for your money. We are excited to share with you how we have taken everyday items that you would normally discard and have recycled them into little works of art.  We think that once you see what we can be done you will (RE)-think about throwing away anything and (RE)-purpose it to give your projects a little somethingextra!!  We hope that you are intrigued and ready for a wonderful weekend!
