A group of us were at Blank Canvas Lodge this past weekend and it was amazing!! There were 12 of us and there was more than enough space for all of us with some to spare😊. Most of the Ladies were either cardmakers or scrapbookers. I actually did a little sewing myself!

Will definitely get a group together and...

The space itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully remodeled with thoughtful artwork and décor that make it feel so cozy and inviting. The owners have truly thought of everything, stocking the lodge with all the essentials and plenty of extras. It feels like a home away from home.
If you're a scrapbooker, quilter, crafter, (or just need a relaxing retreat), this is the place to be. Just look at the photos online, and you'll see how gorgeous it is! I can't recommend Blank Canvas Lodge...
