This is my desk this week! Not much change. I went away for a weekend retreat with a group of scrap booking and crafty friends at a local lodge and this is what it looks like today after partially unloading the totes. The colorful book is a journal I worked in and there is an awesome card I made using a friends stamp!

| What a mess...a lot of fun was had tho! |

| An up close of the card. I really love this stamp and I am going to have to look around and find one I can call my own! Girly Steampunk. I used Graphic 45 papers for the card! |

ReplyDeleteOh that looks so much fun at your retreat - I am very jealous - were there only pictures of everyone else - what about one of you crafting !! Thanks for showing us the redbud tree - there is a song on Mark Knofler's new album (DH & I are big fans) called the redbud tree - but we had no idea there really WAS a tree called that ! We don't have them over here - it looks beautiful ! Have a fun week - and hope you find that stamp its great ! Ali #15

ReplyDeleteHi Vickie,
ReplyDeleteOh - I can see why you love the card!!! Love the papers you've chosen to use.
The retreat looks like it was a blast. Love your daughter's paintings. Did you all get the black and white totes or is that yours next to hers?
Happy WOYWW

What a super looking place for your retreat, don't even know the tree but nice to see some blossom. Steampunk girl card is epic. Thanks for visiting me this week BJ#20
ReplyDeleteIt looks like so much fun! Your daughter is very pretty and a lovely artist...those paintings behind her are great!
ReplyDeleteOh Vickie - the meet looks fabulous - we are having one from our club in June - so looking forward to it. Guess what, you have just reminded me I have that shoe - bought it in January from my trip in America. Hope I can do it justice - yours is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs for not knowing what I meant about being a mess in my room, look and see if you can find anywhere I can stamp. I don't have much surface to begin with as it is all taken up with storage boxes but at the moment (yes, it's still the same) but what I had (where the green mat is) is full of stuff now,
I know I will tidy it but then muck it up again! Such is crafting. I have way too much stuff.
Hugs, Neet 16 xx
Looks like it was a great retreat - so much fun to craft with friends. Love the card!
ReplyDeleteMary Anne (10)

ReplyDeleteHey Vickie- Seems you had a good excuse to miss last week, but you were missed! What fun to go on a crafting retreat...and you have green leaves - AND flowering trees. Sigh. They are lovely. And so is the girly steampunk card. Just love that description. Great use of the Graphic 45 paper!! Just love the card. Have a great week.

G'day Vickie
ReplyDeleteI've resigned myself to the fact that I shall ever be running late to get to others blogs due to my work but here I am. I sssooo love that steam punk girly shoe!! I think I shall have to hunt that one down too. Your desk is full of colour and your journal looks inviting and bright as well. What a gorgeous place for a retreat and it looks like you all had fun.
