Char
Meet Char – the heart and soul behind this beautiful, creative hot mess! 💕
Char is the visionary, the cheerleader, and the hands-on magic maker behind every Craft Retreat with SGM. What started as a simple love for crafting and connecting with others has grown into something truly special — a community of amazing women who come together to laugh, create, recharge, and make unforgettable memories.
With a passion for all things crafty (and a soft spot for glitter and late-night project sessions), Char pours her heart into every detail — from designing unique, inspiring projects to making sure everyone feels welcomed and encouraged. Whether it’s your first retreat or your fifth, Char is there to laugh with you, craft alongside you, and make sure you’re having the time of your life.
So yes — things might get a little messy, a little silly, and a whole lot of fun… and that’s exactly how it should be.
We can’t wait to welcome you into the crafty chaos and joy-filled community that is Craft Retreats with SGM. Get ready to make new friends, try new things, and leave with a heart full of joy (and a suitcase full of crafts)! 💖🎨✂️
Craft Retreats with SGM
Craft Retreats with SGM is truly a dream come true for Char — a beautiful blend of passion, creativity, and connection brought to life. These retreats are more than just an event; they’re an experience filled with heart, laughter, and the joy of making something with your hands and your soul.
Imagine gathering with an amazing group of women who love to craft, create, and celebrate life together. From the moment the retreat begins, the energy is contagious — the sounds of scissors snipping, laughter echoing through the room, heartfelt conversations over coffee, and the excitement of trying new techniques and completing beautiful projects.
Whether it's the smell of a delicious meal, the satisfaction of finishing a handmade piece, or the comfort of new friendships formed around shared passions, every moment is designed to help women unwind, reconnect with their creativity, and leave feeling refreshed and inspired.
Char believes there’s something magical about setting aside time just for fun, creativity, and community — and Craft Retreats with SGM is her way of sharing that magic with others. From the beaches of Alabama to the mountains of Tennessee and even out at sea, these retreats are filled with love, laughter, and lifelong memories.
Because when women come together to create, incredible things happen.
