Before showing you what our team has created to inspire you this week, I would like to show you something else. When I joined this great group at SSW this past summer, they were in the midst of sharing pictures and information on their home towns. It was like a mini vacation and a glimpse into the lives of my new friends. And from the comments posted by some of you, I think that you enjoyed it as well. I am going to post some pictures today of my stamping space, as I am one that enjoys seeing where others create and find inspiration and I think that maybe you do as well. I haven't discussed this with my teammates and some of them may not be able to do this, but guys if you do, I will love seeing your rooms.

 I have a flat and a drafting table on which to work, this gives me a view out of either window and plenty of space to work. I re-purposed lots of furniture to create my space in this spare bedroom. All of my drawers that you can see hold ribbon, embellishments and tools, as well as extra cards and supplies. I left a twin bed here in the room, my cats love sleeping on it while I work and it gives me a place to spread out work sometimes.

This chest holds all of my wood mounted Stampin' Up stamps as well as a drawer of miscellaneous brands.

 My die cutting area. My scraps are filed by colors in the large file boxes on the bottom shelf.

Here is my inspiration, Sable. He is never very far away when I am working in here, and sometimes you will find his brother Salem curled up with him.

Thanks for hanging with me during this long post....now to the important stuff, our teams beautiful creations for this week. Enjoy!
