RSVP NOW AND SAVE YOUR SEAT FOR THE TEAM QUARTERLY RETREAT!


I am once again partnering with Ronda Wade and Michelle Litwiller to bring you our second Team Quarterly Retreat, and I know you are going to love it. We will be featuring Fall and Winter holidays using July OnLine Exclusives. There will be Make N Takes, demonstrations, great displays, raffles, swapping, presentations, AND open crafting time. Nothing is better than time together crafting, inspiring and learning. You can join us in person or have the Retreat shipped to your door.
The event will be held August 7, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Small Things Event Center in Laingsburg, Michigan.
We listened to your feedback and made a few changes from the first Retreat that we think you will appreciate and enjoy. AND, for even more crafting fun, you can also purchase the Add-On Class.
The first Quarterly Team Retreat was a huge success and sold out quickly. As part of our Rubber Room Rambler team, you get first dibs on avaialable spots for the second Quarterly Team Retreat.

Oh my goodness, the June RR Monthly Class was so much fun. I shared Summer-Themed Cards that were adorable and captured all the fun of Summer life. If you ordered your class to go, you can watch the video and see how to assemble your kit. If you've wondered what a Rubber Room Monthly Class is like, here's your chance for an inside look.

The July Rubber Room Monthly Class happens on July 17th, 2026. Click the "class schedule" tab above to see all class details.

THE RUBBER ROOM JULY MONTHLY CLASS IS ALMOST HERE!

Don't forget to RSVP and save your spot today!

The Rubber Room July Monthly Class happens on July 17, 2026. During class we make four simple cards for $15.

The Rubber Room Monthly Class is designed for you to be able to adapt it to your creative needs. There are lots of ways you can "customize" this class so that it works for you.

  1. You can "Boost" your class and make eight cards (2 each of all four designs) for $23. If you pick the Boosted option, you can stamp and assemble your first cards during class and stamp and prep your second cards, assembling them at your leisure, elsewhere, at a later time.
  2. You can add $5 to the class fee and get the class mailed right to your door. Please note this option will only contain prepped materials--no stamped images will be included.
  3. You can attend class from 11:00 - 1:00 in the morning-afternoon.
  4. You can attend class from 6:00 - 8:00 in the evening.

Class fee is payable with your RSVP. When you RSVP, please remember to let me know if you want a regular or Boosted class, which time you will attend or if you need a To-Go class.

JULY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

July is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start scheduling some time to chill and craft in the Rubber Room. I kick off the month with my annual trip to Houghton Lake to spend time with my siblings, their spouses, some nieces and nephews... and this year we'll be making time for a salmon fishing charter. Then it's back home and back to crafting!
I have set aside three mornings/afternoons in July for Retreat Table Display. For those of you not familiar with this, our team is in charge of a table display at the Quarterly Team Retreat (which happens on August 7th). I love including our whole team in this process, and I hope that you will join us in designing and making items for our display table.
Other July events include our RRR July Team Meeting (in person and streamed Live in this group); the Rubber Room Monthly class (in person or To Go); our RRR Mystery Card Mania Zoom, the RR Paper Pumpkin Party Zoom and the Live August Class in the Mail (parts one and two).
I love crafting with all of you, and I hope you can join me in July for some fun!
