So THRILLED to be a part of this event…

Aug 23, 2011

Thrilled really does not even begin to explain how excited I am to be a part of this event. It has been so hard keep­ing this a secret.  “A Kiss on the Chic Bel­la­gio Retreat” is going to be awe­some and teach­ing with Laura McCol­lough, Tammy Tut­terow and Debby Schuh is going to be the icing on the cake. Click HERE to read about reg­is­ter­ing for the event and HERE to see the incred­i­ble accom­mo­da­tions. I can­not wait! And as you can see below, the itin­er­ary Laura put together is packed with loads of fun. I hope to see you there!
