Just giddy with excitement!

Good morning everyone!  First let me give you a quick dad update.  He is doing well in his recovery period but still having a lot of pain.  My mom went home this afternoon and said dad was fine because he was fussy.  To me this means he’s getting better.  Of course we all know how men are when they are sick.  *wink*

So why in the world would I be so excited at 145 am?  Because I’ve been up the last two hours looking at the Sneak Peek Stampin’ Up! stuff.  All I can say is hold on to your stampin’ panties.  It’s all awesome.  Of course I had to peek at the Retired List too.  It’s always sad to see some of our beloved stamp sets go but at the same time I know when the old stuff goes out Stampin’ Up! always has something SPECTACULAR around the corner.  🙂

Here is the Retired List in a PDF format for you HERE!

Here is the Retired Accessories List in a word document HERE!****Remember, this list of products goes QUICKLY!  If you want something on this list, buy it quick.  You will notice some of these products have a discount.  Isn’t that FABULOUS!

Now for a little Creative Inspiration.  I had a WONDERFUL class on Saturday night with my stampers.  It was all about Dads!  We created three awesome projects for the upcoming King day aka Fathers Day.  I wanted to share one with you that I think you will like along with instructions.

Now, to make this adorable Origami Tie just click HERE!  I found the instructions so easy to do.  For me, that says alot!  I am a visual person.  Below you will find the list of materials I used.  Hope you have a great start to your week this week.  I will be updating websites, blogs and my hair tomorrow.  🙂  It’s always great to get a fresh fun new look.  Actually, it’s great for the nice hair lady to remove my grey.  Who am I kidding?
