About Crate Retreats

Why Craftopia?

Because we all need a little more creative joy and community in our lives. 

Craftopia isn't just a retreat — it's a chance to step away from the daily grind, reconnect with your crafty self, and spend quality time with others who just get it. The glue disasters, the paper hoarding, the squeal of joy when you find the perfect die-cut — we celebrate it all.

This retreat is about more than just scrapbooking or finishing projects. It’s about friendship, fun, and creative freedom in a space designed to nurture and inspire.

Life gets busy—like really busy. Between family, work, and all the other things we juggle, sometimes it feels like there’s no time to squeeze in a creative moment. That’s exactly why I started Monday Minis—my little way of carving out some “me-time” in the middle of the everyday chaos.

This is definitely one of those gotta capture the photo...moments, taken with a film camera over 30 years ago. Once upon a time, long ago, I worked for a photographer and of course he/we developed all the photos in a real darkroom. I was very luck I guess to get free film and the opportunity to develop my own photographs
