WOYWW #201 and Circle of Friends Retreat

I can't believe I missed a pivotal post such as WOYWW #200 last week!  By the time I realized what day it was it had passed by 48 hours so I just wandered around through some of the blogs saying Hi and Bye!  What's WOYWW?  Go check out Julia Dunitts blog Stamping Ground.  There is a little clicker link in the upper left side of the page!

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!

Okay I think that is enough pictures for today.  Click on them to make them bigger if you would like a close up.  I am looking forward to blog hopping today so hope to be able to get around to quite a few!  Have a great week!
