Crazy Arizona Weather!!

I was asked to participate in a fund raising event to help raise money for an organization in Phoenix.

Here is the booth that I set up in 102 degree weather it was hot and sticky! All was looking good until.....





 I saw this and got worried:
This is where some of my cards ended up:



Here is where the others ended up:



It was so crazy windy, my cards blew all over the place!! People were running all over the place trying to catch them! They were flying every where! Some ended up in the bushes and the lake!




Here is the photo from right after the storm that made it all ok:


Isn't it beautiful!
