Hi !

I’m so excited to invite you to my Make It Merry Mini Retreat — my special holiday class where we’ll create festive projects that go beyond cards and bring extra handmade joy to your season!

This retreat is all about cozy creativity — with beautiful projects, a little pampering, and some extra special surprises too. Whether you join me in person or enjoy the retreat from home, it’s designed to make your holidays just a little more merry.
