Are you signing up?
I really enjoyed last years event but said I wouldn't do it this year as I now have a lot of PF holiday goodies. That said, now, 8 months later, I am sorely tempted.
I’d like to find a holiday event or two next fall (not SCT) if I don’t sign up for PF. Can y’all remind who else does holiday events in the fall?

Altenew does a comfort and cozy holiday event for 1 day, mostly the card were winter themes. I think there were about 6 classes and I really enjoyed it.
Concord and 9th did a holiday event, I think it was a day and 2-3 classes.
Hero Arts does their one day holiday stamp along, about 8 classes I think, where you can use your own supplies or purchase the bundle.
I did all 3 events and enjoyed it. However, I think Pinkfresh had the best event and best value for the cost. I plan to sign up for their holiday event.

I'd like to do something different, too. Thanks for sharing those, craftmepink ! I really like the Concord & 9th cards, and am tempted to try an Altenew event. Has anyone seen any postings for those? |

As of now, I’m not planning to take any holiday classes. I don’t send enough holiday cards to justify more holiday products.

I've done the PF Holiday event the last 2 years so I'll likely do this year's event as well. I haven't signed up for it yet though. craftmepink thanks for sharing your cards from other events. I really like the Altenew and Concord & 9th cards!! I may look into those for this year as well. |

I’m on the fence. I understand it’s a lot of product for the money, but it’s still a lot of money to spend sight unseen. I think going over the $200 mark is what’s making me pause.

I read in Altenew's fb group that they're still working on planning this. If I recall correctly from last year, the sign ups for the event wasn't until July or August. |

Yes, the Cozy Comfort retreat was the first weekend in October, but registration didn't open until later in the summer.

For planning purposes, assuming this year is similar to last year, I signed up for the Altenew class on 8/12. Using an early bird discount of $51, the total was $265 with tax. Shipping included. I really enjoyed these classes. A very different look and feel for Altenew and I was a fan!
I signed up for the C9 class on 8/23. The "no ink" option was $166 with tax. Shipping included. Just 2 classes, if I remember correctly. Loved the Through the Woods products.

I'm very tempted based on the instructors and that it's PF. I guess the thing holding me back is that I haven't finished last year's PF holiday class.  Holiday Cookie Jar stamps/stencils/dies feels like something I will want! Wrapped in Joy sounds like gifts/presents, so the images might be useable for other birthday/celebrations? I like "Joy" type sentiments because it's good for non-christmas holiday cards, too. |

Scrapbook & Cards also does a Holiday card event in July - I believe it's one day. I signed up for it this year but didn't take it last year. I'm hoping to get a head start on my cards this year. I absolutely love those Concord & 9th cards from last year craftmepink - all of the cards are pretty, but C&9 is right up my alley, in particular. Gorgeous! |

Now that I've read the class descriptions, I went ahead signed up... I forgot the guest company was Simon Says Stamp! My birthday is in October so I'm justifying this as a gift to myself LOL! |
