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!

Morning Christine,
Lovely pictures, do hope the cases turn up soon. Especially the craft case. You might have to go on a shopping trip for new clothes. But that would be fun.
Looks like you had a great time, I am so envious that you made the Grand Canyon, it is noted that you were not on the glass platform. Even so great photos. Hope all is well at home. Valerie
Hi Christine
I am so glad you had a lovely time, well deserved, but really glad you got home safe and sound. I hope your luggage soon catches up with you, as you say it doesn't matter about clothes, but the goodies, that's a different matter.
I am sure the family are pleased to have you around again.
Take care

Glad you have returned refreshed and happy (despite no luggage - it just delays having to do all that washing...so maybe not too bad a thing to have happened ?)
Looking forward to seeing more photos. Janice xxx

Hello. Glad to have you back even without your luggage! Looks like you had a fantastic time and the fact that you haven't mentioned the boys must mean that they were fine all the time you were away. That's brilliant. xxMargaretxx
