Up Up and Away....

Hello Blog Friends, as you read this I will be on my way to the Spellbinders Retreat in Phoenix Arizona....I will try (I did say 'try') to share photos both here and on facebook during the trip.  It is an amazing experience - I consider myself blessed to be part of the Spellbinders family!

For me, the journey starts at 7am, when I leave for the airport and head to LAX via Melbourne - arriving at 7am on the same day I leave here -  and meet up with one of the Spellbinders Designers to do some serious sightseeing - this will be fabulous - especially as there is a 14 hour stop-over at LAX!! 

The flight to Phoenix arrives at 11:30pm and we will be more than ready for the fun to begin!  Thanks so much for all the travel suggestions and advice - I look forward to sharing this amazing journey! 

 Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!
