What is Giggles and Girlfriends?  

 
A company made to cater to the needs of women to take a break from the chaos of everyday life and to rejuvenate and relax while enjoying their favourite pasttimes.
 
Realizing the needs for scrapbookers, quilters, beaders, and crafters of all types and those non-crafters that just wanted a couple of days to themselves, we found a solution.  Spending a retreat weekend with us will help you start fresh, feel rejuvenated and begin the chaos in a whole new light. 
Retreats are run on the basis of no frills, just great times.  What this means is that we don't clutter your weekend with "fluff".  We don't pull you away from your must finish project just when you've gotten on a roll.  We give respect to your time and your ability to know when you need to get up and stretch, or whether you need to keep your head down and nose to the grindstone to finish that very important project. 
 
We want to keep our retreats within reach financially and schedule wise to all women.  We have many options for dates, days and you decide on your time committment.  After all, it's your weekend, do as you please, do as much, or as little as you like!  Maybe you really do want to sleep in on a Saturday. (Gee, I haven't done that in 20 years!!)  Here's your chance.
