Art Unleashed

02/13/2024

Hi friends! After a lot of thought and deliberation, and with heavy hearts, we have decided that the time has come for us to "hang up our scissors" and no longer put on our Art Unleashed retreats. Which means we are cancelling our upcoming fall event.

We want to thank you all for all the love and support throughout our journey, and we are so sad that we won't be able to see some of you as often as did! Between our busy schedules in Nebraska, our new business venture up here, and having Nicolynn in school and starting to get a busy schedule of her own....we just felt that this would be the best course of action for us and would allow us to have more time to be able to come down and attend some of our friends crops as crafters, as well as enjoy crafting for ourselves again. Christy will still be crafting on tik tok and sharing some of her fun projects with you all so make sure to keep an eye on her Facebook for future crafting links.

We are truly sad to see our retreats go but y'all have so many to choose from now that we know you all will be well taken care of! We love each and every one of you so much and we will do our best to keep in touch with you all!

Happy Scrapping,
Christy and Jori

Now that we are home and recuperating from our trip....we wanted to THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU that attended our Haunted Mansion crop this past weekend! Truly we feel in our hearts that most of you are family more than friends at this point and we always love getting to catch up with you all! We also loved getting to know some of our new friends and we hope that you had a great time and return next year so that you become family too!

Somehow each crop becomes our new favorite every year even after doing these for 10+ years now! We are already in work mode for our next event which will be fall of '24!

Congratulations to all of our door prize and raffle ticket winners this weekend!

Also big shoutout to Roxanne, Rhonda Collums, and Tara Melancon Normand for always having our backs and being at the ready to help set up and break down all this craziness! And of course shout out to maw maw Libby Mire who made all of our auction layouts and did an amazing job with that, keeping Nicolynn and cleanup! We love you all!

We still have a few more calls into some hotels looking for room rates for you guys....in the mean time here are some other options that we have found for you guys....

IF YOU BOOK ONLINE a lot of the hotels are cheaper than if you call them directly. Here are some of the pricing options per night if you book online.

Quality Inn & Suites- $101
Hampton Inn- $101
Comfort Suites-$135
Home2 Suites-$147
Holiday Inn and Suites-$167

There is also the Legacy Suites in Donaldsonville if you are willing to drive about 20 minutes to the venue with an amazing rate of $94. This hotel looks pretty nice as well.

There are many other options on Hwy 30 but these are some that I have looked into for you! If one of the other hotels we have calls into gets back to us I will update that information as well!

Hotel Update for our Haunted Mansion Crop.....

We have been trying to get a room block for a few weeks now with local hotels on Hwy. 30 with no luck. Due to the Auburn/LSU game and some other sporting events that weekend, the room rates are high and they aren't wanting to give us any good room block rates.

If you are needing a hotel room for our event, you can book them at whichever hotel you would like so that you can have more of a choice in how much you are willing to pay for your room. There are a number of hotels on Hwy. 30 near Tanger Outlet Mall for you to choose from that are all relatively close to our event space. It looks like the going rate for that weekend is about $185 a night for the better hotels, but there are less desirable hotels/motels that may be cheaper in that area as well. We figure some of you may have hotel points that you might want to use to get your room rate cheaper or if you are coming with a group there may also be some Air bnbs in the area that you might want to look into as well.

Hopefully this will be a one time issue and we will attempt to get room blocks again for our next event.

BOOOO!!! Jori had the registration link in TEST MODE THIS MORNING BY ACCIDENT!!! I guess our ride was having technical difficulties and you all got to experience your first magical ride "walk off" 😜

IF YOU REGISTERED BEFORE 12:30pm today then I have you registered but not PAID as it was in test mode. Even if you put in your credit card information, we did not receive payment! I am sending out invoices now (give me a few mins there's a lot of you) to those that I do not have payments from, so if you receive an invoice from us, it is NOT SPAM! LOL

Also, I've edited the original post and the link is now correct for anyone still needing to register!

Are you grabbing your ghostly friends and setting your alarms for 8AM TOMORROW MORNING to register??? We know we can't wait to see you all at our Haunted Mansion Crop!

OCTOBER 13th-15TH!
DON'T BE A BOO...BE A WHO...THAT IS THERE...IF YOU DARE!
