Sweet Sketch Wednesday 220 and Digi Stamp Boutique

Good morning SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY followers.
This is Nancy as your hostess from Northern Arizona.
The other day, my daughter-in-law and I went on a walk to almost the top of Thumb Butte, in Prescott, AZ.  This is a mountain that I have wanted to climb but never thought I would be able to.  I finally did it.  I am not sure if I will ever do it again mainly because it wasn't very kind on the knees.  But, I did it!!!  It is a pretty steep climb. 
I want to share some of the picture that we took.
