We'd like to take some time out and say thank you, ever so much, to the wonderful folks at the following companies who have products in the kits, door prizes, and goody bags for the Chantilly Retreat.
We want to extend a special invitation to all of our fabulous Pazzles customers. Join Klo and I on a cruise to the Caribbean, February 10–16, 2013! We will be teaching classes on the days at sea and then you can play on the days at port. You can even join Klo or I in an activity if you want! Of course we won't begrudge you time with your special someone either. After all, they are going to treat you to this romantic Valentine's cruise, right?
The Chantilly Retreat is just 2 1/2 weeks away! Are you excited? Have you already started packing? Maybe you didn't realize how close the time was getting, or maybe you are just a little nervous? Are you afraid you won't know what everyone else does? Don't worry, the retreat is going to be a wonderful experience!
One of the stops on Pazzles Cruise & Crop, February 2013, is Falmouth, Jamaica! Royal Caribbean has completely rebuilt the port of Falmouth and totally revitalized the area in to a cruise-goers paradise.
One of the stops on the Pazzles Cruise and Crop is Grand Cayman! If you ever wanted to swim with the Stingrays, this is the place to do it!!
Did you know that the cruise fare prices dropped recently? I booked mine a few days ago and saved almost $100 per person for my balcony view cabin. This would be a great time to get the reservation in for our Pazzles Cruise.

The Texas Retreat is over and life goes on but I will never forget the wonderful people who attended. Viv's excited face when she figured something our, Patricia's happy smile, Curt's gentlemanly behavior and Sarahbeth's sweet young face are just a few of my happy memories. We laughed together, got frustrated together, ate scrumptious food and even cried together. I may have been the teacher but I promise you that I was blessed to be privileged to get to know all of you. Thank you, thank you dear friends and I hope we get to see each other again soon!
Wow!! The Dallas retreat is less than 2 weeks away!! Are you ready? There are a few spots left for the Dallas retreat so if you were thinking of signing up you should act fast. We will need to pack and ship supplies soon so will close registration in a few days. The hotel is a beautiful facility and we are sure to be pampered while there. If you have not gotten your room yet be sure to call in right away. You don't want to arrive on the day of the retreat and not have a place to stay. Even if you live close by, you might want to stay at the hotel so that you can fully enjoy the companionship and fun with the other ladies attending.
The Anaheim retreat is over and let me tell you..... it was a wonderful experience! I wish we could have these things on a monthly basis. I get to know all of the amazing ladies and make new friends and am so sad when it is over. Thank you, thank you, dear ladies for allowing me the privilege of getting to know you. If any of you have pictures to share you can post them in the forums under the Pazzles Retreat folder.
We had a wonderful time at the Las Vegas retreat! Klo and I were blessed with a great group of gals and I can't thank you all enough for coming. We would love to have the rest of you join us at one of the upcoming retreats. The friendships formed will last a lifetime.

Are you still sitting on the fence trying to decide whether you want to go to a Pazzles Retreat? Dates for Texas and Chicago have been decided! Read what some of the ladies who attended the first retreat said afterward: "I can’t thank the pazzles team enough for such a great time, I’ve had my machine for 3yrs and use it almost everyday and still learned alot of things I did not know, All of the ladies were wonderful and I made a whole room full of new friends that I know I will be friends with forever, it was so nice to put faces to names I’ve only seen on yahoo groups and in Klos class. Thank you to Klo and Chris and the whole pazzles team."

Happy Halloween!! We hope you are well prepared for a night filled with trick or treaters, scary movies, adorably spooky costumes, and of course candy! Here at Pazzles we thought we'd celebrate Halloween by sharing our mad scientists with you. I often refer to them as "the techie guys" but I think the term "mad scientists" applies quite well. In fact after seeing them at the Pazzles Retreat I don't think I can think of them as anything else! Get this cutting file in the library!
I am so sad (and so relieved) the Boise Retreat is over! Klo and I had a fabulous time and made so many wonderful friends. Thank you, Thank you, wonderful ladies for attending and being so gracious as we muddled through our first ever retreat. As much as we taught you, you also taught us.
The details for the Boise retreat were emailed to all attendees today, Wednesday September 28. Just in case you didn't receive them, you can download all three by clicking on the links below. We have an amazing schedule of classes and projects that are themed for the upcoming holidays. We will also have games, goody bags and grub. What more could you ask for!! See you soon! Chris and Klo
