Peeps Retreat Day 2

Day 2 started out early since we had lots to get done. We got up, ate breakfast and were ready when Jennifer got to Jill's. It was so good to meet her finally. Off we all went to start our own little shop hop. We went to so many different quilt shops. It was so neat to see all the different shops and what they carry and how they display things. I was totally overwhelmed with the Quilt Shack. I didn't know where to look first there was just so much to see. I ended up buying a charm pack and a pack of triangles and a pattern for a table topper. When things get made I'll show them off. We could have looked in that shop for hours. I'm just really glad that they have a web site. Then it was off to lunch we went great food and a great blackberry pie. Then if I'm correct it was off to Jill's shop Best Friends. What a great shop and everyone was so friendly there. I didn't end up with anything because we were going to be going back on Sunday for a big sale they were having.

Our next stop was WalMart where we loaded up on snacks for the retreat. Wow, we had a cart full and way too many snacks. I also bought a chair cushion since I wasn't able to take my chair along to retreat, no room. We were going to be sitting on metal folding chairs so a cushion was a great idea and it sure did come in handy. Back to Jill's we went and with us we took Regina who we met up with at the Fabric Shack and of course Jennifer. The Ninja's were waiting for us and we had to show them everything that we bought. What a great show and tell. Lots of talking and laughing and helping Jill get things ready for the retreat the next day. The girls were all sewing and Sherry and I were in charge of making the name tags for retreat. Then it was time for bed since it had already been a long day with not much sleep the night before. I'm trying to figure out how to get Max and Maisy out of Jill's and take them home with me Max is such a little character I woke up in the morning with what I thought was Max crawling between my two pillows. When I went to move the top pillow I was wrong and he was in my pillowcase just looking around.

Jill's livingroom looked like it threw up a sewing center. We all took our machines inside so there they were all lined up in the hallway. Lots of bags of goodies everywhere. In the morning once we're up and running we're leaving for Retreat after we pack up all the cars. Jill had a ton of raffle items that were all donated by different vendors. My pictures will be posted once I actually get to the retreat days. Look out Ohio the Peeps are in town and raring to go.
