But it's a dry heat........

This is what everyone says about Phoenix. Yes it is hot but it is a dry heat. Well let me tell you that 111 is freaking hot! Dry heat or not! I am still worn out. The time difference and flying and the heat and I have no idea what else wore me out. The conference was great. I learned so much it is not even funny. The dessert or is it desert..........desert yep that is it...is beautiful! I have fallen in love with cactus. I thought about hugging one but I figured it was probably not a really good idea.

Let me tell you about my hotel room. I was on the 15th floor of the Hyatt Regency downtown Phoenix. My room overlooked the city, Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks) and you could see the hills of the desert. It was awesome. Friday night must have been fireworks night at the stadium. I had an awesome view of them from my room. The stadium is only like 3 or 4 blocks from the hotel.

I was able to find time to go to the Wells Fargo Museum and the Phoenix History Meuseum. Oh and of course shopping. I was not leaving Phoenix without Turqouise. And I mean Native American made stuff. So I found an awesome necklace, braclett and earring set made by a Navaho Artist. Actually it was in my price range so it came home with me. I just have nothing to wear with it. I also got to go do Old Scottsdale shopping. And all the things I needed for people. A turqouise/mother of pearl and turqouise 2 sided cactus pendant for me, a copper braclett for me and a pair of earrings for me. Oh and a neclace. I can't remember the kind of stones but it is cool. I seems to have gotten myself lots of jewlery. Well gang that is about it for now. I have some awesome pictures but the camera is at work with Dave so when I can I will post some pictures. Oh and maybe I will fill you in about the conference as well.

Phoenix here I come

OK gang! I am going to Phoenix! What does this have to do with crafts....nothing really, Just that I am going to be gone for almost a week. I am going to a conference for work. How I got this approved I will never know. I am headed to the National Healthcare for the Homeless conference. So I am trying to find a little craft project to take on the plane. So it is between a cross stitch I am working on from my Grandmother and a bear I am knitting. I have about 5-6 hours of flight time each way plus airport time. So I am thinking maybe both.

Anyway my promise is after I get back I am going to try to redecorate around here and post much more often! After all Christmas craft show season will be here before I know it and I am going to be busy!
