Well, I probably got your attention with that title. Sorry girls, don't get excited about cribs entering my life. It's the other kind of "cribs".
Today's Taco Tuesday shows what we've been up to with the BRAfree Weekend retreats. The house is almost ready and we're already getting bookings.
So, if you can see yourself walking down this walk to a totally serene weekend of eating, gabbing, more eating and more gabbing and a little bit of sleep post a comment here after you've watched the video. We will pick a winner to come with her 4 BFF's (5 people) for a weekend stay from Thursday to Sunday. For those of you out of state or out of this country...you gotta get yourselves here on your own dime. The free weekend does not include food...so yes, you will be bringing your own food.
We think you'll love this space as much as we do. The studio space we show was where we started the company 5 years ago and if you had told me then what was in store for us 5 years later, I would have laughed and said, "no freakin' way."
We will pick a winner next Tuesday, June 23rd. You can't win if you don't comment. Good luck and remember Bra's are optional.
Oh...pick me!!! How did you ever give up such a beautiful home? I have been looking for an excuse (and a place) to get away for a weekend with my crafting buddies and this is the answer. It would make a weekend of memories for any five lucky women!

What a wonderful idea for an art retreat! You really have put a lot of energy into making the BRAfree Retreat a special place. It looks so comfortable and relaxing; just the sort of place to inspire lots of altered art. How cool is that?!

OMG...the two of you have out done yourselves again! What an awesome retreat and just what I NEED! NO children, NO work, & NO hubby....Think I'm gonna start packing now!

Oh this would be great; cropping "Deep in the Heart of Texas". I see a winter get-a-way from a snowy Massachusetts winter in my future.

OMG! That would be totally awesome! What a great idea for a retreat! Now, let me think about the 4 BFF's....hmmm...
Posted by: Lori | June 16, 2009 at 07:15 AM
I just have to say, I love what you've decided to name your retreats. Of course, that might be because I'm known for taking my bra off at crops. :) Hey, I have to wear it 6 days a week, I'm NOT wearing it all day at a Saturday crop!!
Posted by: HollyD | June 16, 2009 at 07:40 AM
Oh my!!!!!! Pick me! Pick me!! What an awesome space! You have outdone yourselves with this!
Posted by: Betsy | June 16, 2009 at 07:41 AM

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful retreat, you girls have outdone yourselves. You now have to move to Ohio so your closer. The place looks fantastic and I can get packed with my art group and be there anytime, yeah. enjoy Peggy

Great video! Love the house. It looks very cozy and a great place to inspire and design.
Thanks for reminding me - no hubbies - no - work and no BRA!

What a neat idea to do with your home. Now so many can enjoy what you call home. I like the fact that you put memory form on your beds. I have fibromyalgia and travel is really tough for me because I sleep on a memory form bed at home. There is a group of friends that do this kind of thing once a year but I'm not able to go because I know that sleeping will be a problem. And I love that you named your rooms after bra sizes. Did you say you have a 38DD room?
Posted by: Cat on the lake | June 16, 2009 at 11:38 AM
OMG, I would love to have a weekend at your crib with my stamping peeps. It looks fabulous!

WOW I don't think the world is ready for me bra-less but hey what the heck, I would love to be in Texas. I lived in Fort Worth for 24 years, I am now residing in Western Canada what a change. Love your videos.
Posted by: Donna Monticello | June 16, 2009 at 02:16 PM

Sweet Crib! I'm a fan from Northern California, working on my crafting buddies to join me for a trip to TX. I just have one problem... how to get all my crafty supplies past airport security! Until then, hope you'll come back out to see us in CA again soon.

I can drive from Houston... and I'm sure I can find some friends to come with me... Looks fun - can't wait to check it out.
Posted by: Peggy | June 16, 2009 at 07:30 PM
Love your "old" house. It looks very peaceful, quiet, secluded. I would love to crop there with some of my friends. A free weekend would be even better. Still wearing my bra, though. Gotta keep the girls high and tight.
I hope you pick me.

It would be even better if I could make it include the Certification, too. WOW!
Hoping to get that done this year.
