Tidings: Creative Crafting Weekend Escape

I have been presented with a wonderful opportunity to share with you in May! Lauri Ingram, an independent Stampin' Up (r) Demonstrator and, in my opinion, creative paper crafting teacher extraordinaire, has offered to teach a few classes on papercrafting for a Creative Crafting Weekend Escape here at the Tidewater Inn! What a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day Weekend!

Relax, rejuvenate and create during a crafters weekend, May 6, 7 and 8. Your instructor, Lauri Ingram, has been crafting for over 20 years and specialized in paper crafts. Join us for a surprise project on Friday evening and two classes on Saturday where we will explore the art of rubber stamping and paper crafts. Not only will you create beautiful items, you will learn new skills, make new friends and enjoy a few surprises along the way! Complement your weekend with time exploring downtown Madison and the shoreline.

Friday evening you’ll be welcomed with a wine and cheese reception and home style dinner here at the inn, followed by a short paper crafting project that will introduce you to Lauri and set the stage for what’s to come.

After a restful night’s sleep in your charming guestroom, join us in the dining room on Saturday morning to enjoy a delicious three-course gourmet breakfast. Your first creative class of the day follows. Break for a light lunch and look forward to the second class of the day and a new project to spark your creativity. Late afternoon take time to relax and to explore all that Madison and the shoreline have to offer. Return to the inn and gather in front of the fireplace for a glass of wine before enjoying dinner together at one of our favorite Madison restaurants.

Another good night’s rest will reward you with your Sunday morning gourmet breakfast before departing to explore some more and to return home relaxed, rested and rejuvenated from your weekend of creativity.

Creative Crafting Weekend Escape classes, materials and 5 meals: $120 plus tax and gratuity per person, in addition to the cost of two nights’ lodging. Room rates range from $150/night to $245/night plus occupancy taxes. Please call the inn directly to book this very special escape weekend.
