✨ The Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal ✨
A Founding Day Retreat

We have dreamed up something truly special for the studio… and honestly, we cannot wait to experience this with y’all.

Imagine a room full of women…
paper scraps scattered across tables,
coffee and mocktails in hand,
music playing softly,
stories being shared,
and beautiful journals slowly becoming memory capsules filled with encouragement, recipes, traditions, dreams, laughter, and pieces of each woman who touches them.

This is more than a workshop.

It is a creative sisterhood experience.

During our all-day retreat, each participant will create and personalize a traveling journal that will rotate throughout the group over the coming months. Each woman will spend a month adding her own stories, favorite things, memories, and meaningful touches before passing it along to the next person.

By the end of the season, every woman receives back a journal filled with the hearts and stories of the entire group. 💛

(After you purchase your seat to this retreat you will receive the link to the monthly membership)

Your retreat day includes:
📚 Journal creation & setup
🎀 Embellishment stations
✂️ Guided creative techniques
☕ Lunch, snacks & refreshments
💌 Community & connection
✨ The first official journal exchange

Whether you are an experienced journaler or someone who “isn’t creative,” this experience is for you.

Come create something meaningful with us.

Seats are intentionally limited for this experience.

🧶If you aren’t following The Granny Gathering, do so now!!!
💛They are definitely our kind of people!
🩷We cannot wait to go to their next event in July!!!!

📚Long story short (kinda)…

🎨We found each other through our business pages, appreciated each other’s endeavors, and were cheerleaders for each other before we actually met.

😬Fast forward and we found another connection- a BAD experience we both had with another “creative” business (this crafty retreat group is NOT nice).

🌺Best of all is that Robin and I met Traci Graham for lunch and found a kindred spirit! She is a GOOD HUMAN, and shares the same vision as we do…sharing creativity thru bringing people together for community!

❤️So, the moral of this short-not-short story is, “God will bless us ALL if we are just kind and lift each other up!”.
(The unkind humans have to answer for their actions.💁🏼‍♀️)
