Gecko Galz 2014 Retreat....we partied like cowgirl divas!

This past weekend we headed out to Conroe Texas to have our 2014 annual retreat. We had the best time with the 16 ladies who attended and came away with some amazing new friends and awesome projects!

We had our event at a lovely retreat venue called Aunt Fayes Country Retreat. The weekend started with a bang and guest teacher Cat Woody began with her Altered Art Reliquary Doll class. Cat is an award winning doll artist and her class was amazing and all the ladies came up with the most awe inspiring dolls!

We also had a Gecko Challenge where all the Ladies were given a product kit and asked to make a project and the winners won fab Gecko Galz prizes along with other goodies. Our Winners were Trudi Hutton, Rosie Perez, Heather Hudson, and Terri Burnette!

Also because our theme was the COWGIRL DIVA RETREAT we had our Cowgirl diva hat contest which everyone who created a hat really went all out!

And as always there are tonz and tonz of prizes! Here is Heather Hudson and Shea Marshall with their Gecko Galz gift pack for this year....fun K & Co papers and lots of exclusives from Gecko Galz.

Next year is our Very Fairy retreat and we are so pleased to have Heather Hudson as our guest teacher! We are sold out for next year but do have a waiting list...however we are now taking deposits for our 2016 retreat (our Super Dooper retreat) and have 11 spots left! Our guest teacher for 2016 is former Design Team Member Jan Stevens...we are so excited!
