OMGOODNESS. Y'all.

 I had the most wonderful opportunity 

to attend the Illustrated Faith Gratitude Retreat 

at the Whatever House out in Kansas!

 

And I had a blast!

And look! There's the rainbow stairs! 

Every little space in this house is designed to spark creativity  -

and point people to Jesus.

We enjoyed working on a few different projects together...

Had excelent meals prepared by Tiffany...

and enjoyed some shopping at the cute little shops downtown...

I went in not knowing anyone there

[well, I'd met Shanna a couple of times before]

and came out with some pretty sweet new friends!

[Matching PJs - so fun!]

 

There's just something wonderful about getting together with creative women 

who love the Lord and seek Him daily. 

In fact, my table buddies are still zooming together monthly 

as I write this months later...

Thank you - THANK YOU to Shanna and Tiffany 

for being such excellent hostesses!

 

Seriously - it was the sweetest weekend 

and just what my soul needed.

[Plus, I have to say... I used points, so my airfare was only $11. YAY!!]
