Home from Arizona!

Hello friends

Well that week went by far too quickly! 

I'm safely home, minus my luggage! I had a connecting flight

in Las Vegas and unfortunately due to a delay it is thought my luggage might be there -

I am envious that it is still holidaying!   

Fingers crossed it is all returned as there is an enormous amount of 

craft items including some blog prize bits and mystery box prize items that I picked up in 

Jo Ann's, Michaels and Hobby Lobby 

(notice, I'm not so worried about my clothes!)

I flew out to Arizona two days early to allow for jet lag and to meet up

with two very special Canadian ladies - Lesley Langdon and Tina McDonald.

We allowed one day for shopping (yippee!) and one day for sight seeing.

We opted for a four hour drive to the Grand Canyon and we were not disappointed.

It's a long drop....

Tina emphasising that point!

  It is breathtaking and a fantastic experience.

Once our mini tourist experience finished, we got organised and switched over to the 

Spellbinders retreat hotel - the serious crafting, learning and fun began!

I was totally surrounded by the most amazing creative minds in the business and

felt very overwhelmed at times. 

It wasn't all class-time work, we got to go on field trips.

Visiting the Spellbinders office - catching up with all the staff  including Ken Oliver.

I will have a lot more photos to share with you soon, once I get organised and

my other memory card hopefully returns in my AWOL suitcases!

I've come back to an email inbox full to the brim but I will get around to answering 

them all, apologies if you have been waiting.

Take care friends - good to be back!
