I officialy arrived home from Arizona last Sunday late in the evening. I have been trying to post pics on blogger all week and finally gave up. I thought I'd try again tonight. I've had better luck but can't seem to get all of them to upload.
So, here is a snapshot of my Arizona Trip 2012.
I arrived in Phoenix Arizona on Tuesday morning.
We spent Tuesday bumming around and stitching at the hotel.
On Wednesday we took a trip to The Attic in Mesa Arizona. The Attic is the "Taj Mahal" of stitching shops. If you if ever get the chance to visit plan on hours and hours. As you can see in the pictures, this shop has everything. The shear pleasure of looking at the models can take hours and hours. I also spent a great deal of time with the linen and fibers. I know I'll be visiting again one day and will plan on spending more than one day at The Attic. The ladies who work in the shop were great. I think they got a little tickled at a first timer like me. I just walked around repeating the phrases, "Holy Crap!", "Wow!" and "This is unbelievable!"

The three of us after making our purchases. We are worn out but happy!
On Thursday we made the trek up into the mountains to the cabin.
The scenery was amazing.
As we drove the scenery changed from cactus and rock to pine trees and snow.
I loved seeing all the cacti. ;-)
The mountains were breathtaking.
The cabin was a treat. It was a beautiful, rustic cabin.
Perfect for 3 stitchers to hide away.
On Friday we headed to the Grand Canyon.
Beautiful scenery along the way.

On Saturday we spent the day stitching away.
The week went by very fast.
Thank you Karen for being such a great host.
I had a blast and can't wait to get back to your "neck of the woods."
Thanks for sharing my Arizona trip.
Thank you for stopping by. I so appreciate your visits and sweet comments.
Keep on stitchin'
