I went to Michael's, Joann's, and Hobby Lobby looking for science paper and stamps. I didn't find a single one, but I did find all this great stuff instead. Lots of planner goodies, some envelopes, coffee cup paper (project undetermined right now, but oh so cute!), and a birthday paper stack to make thank you cards out of. Most of the planner stuff was from Joann's. I never go to Joann's, but I'm glad I did on Friday. All of their Happy Planner supplies were Buy 1 Get 1 50% off. I snagged some things that Michael's doesn't carry. Score!
Sunday Haul #14
I popped into Michael's to scout party supplies and stumbled upon the new 18 month Happy Planners. I couldn't resist this gorgeous rainbow planner! Guess I'm going to switch over from my current planner in September. I also got this cute planner stamp in a clearance bin.
My August Stamp Club and Holiday Catalog preorder came!!! I ordered my August club products early so we could play with them. For preorder, I bought all of the papers (for paper shares and play) and a select group of extra supplies.
Sunday Haul #13
Popped into Michael's for some snail. Also grabbed this cute washi tape tube (Llamas!!!) and some glue dots.
Addition to my last Stampin' Up! order. I think Shaded Spruce and Merry Merlot are going to be perfect for Christmas cards. And I threw in a Flirty Flamingo ink refill. My pad is getting a bit dry.
Lastly I got my Planner Addict Box and add-on items. Love the box full of summer fun, but really in love with the coral reef papers and washi tape.
I grabbed some cute planner stickers from Nerds the Word. Love these Wacky Holidays sheets!

7. Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins 146933 $7.00 -- I love the Tutti-Frutti Sequins featured in the last Occasions Catalog and hoped they would carry-over.

I bought a sticker grab bag from Peachy Cheap a few weeks back. And it finally came! I love having random stickers for my Project Life spreads and Memory Planner pages.
Sunday Haul #9
I stopped by Michael's to get some white paper, but I can never walk away without checking out all the other goodies. All of the planner supplies were 40% hence the two sticker sheets and the Mambi sticker book. Plus the wash tape was 50%. And I saved an extra 25% off of all my items with a rewards coupon. All this for $21.00! That's basically the cost of the sticker book.
A small Stampin' Up! order for May's club. I grabbed some Bermuda Bay Cardstock (running low), the Tailored Tag Punch (carrying over and coordinates with a new stamp set), and the retiring and on sale Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig ribbon (it was too pretty to pass up).

Favorite Retiring Products
I'm always sad to see certain things get retired, so today is all about celebrating my Top 10 Favorite Retiring Products.
1. 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon -- This gorgeous ribbon comes in Berry Burst (my favorite), Night of Navy, Emerald Envy, and Peekaboo Peach. I love the crinkly texture and ease at tying bows. Thankfully I have a good chunk of Night of Navy ribbon left in my stash.
$8.00
2. Tutti Frutti DSP $10.00 145606-- Usually I'm okay with losing the current year's DSP. I love see the new designs and frankly after using the same patterns for an entire year, I am over them. The exception this year is the Tutti Frutti DSP. This 6x6" paper stack is just so much fun! One side had great fruit patterns while the opposite has great single color graphic patterns.
3. Birthday Blooms Stamp Set $19.00 140658 (Clear Mount) -- Hands down the stamp set I will miss the most! This set had become my go-to set for fun techniques and great beautiful cards. I have used it so much in the past few years. Now I have to decided if I am going to keep it or sell it during my yard sale...
4. 2016-2018 In Colors (Ink Pad Collection $27.50 141818) -- This retiring In Color Collection has me more upset than usual. Included in this collection are two amazing colors that I keep going back to: Sweet Sugarplum and Emerald Envy. I'm so incredibly sad to be losing these. You know I will keeping both and using them on a variety of projects. At least we get to keep Flirty Flamingo as it is a part of the new Color Revamp. Good thing I stocked up on reinkers for this collection! And I have cardstock for all five of the colors. I should be okay for awhile...
5. Pieces and Patterns Stamp Set $19.00 143843 (Clear Mount) -- Such a cute stamp set! I love the different items and the little embellishment stamps. I think my favorite and most used piece is the little T-Rex. How cute is he? Perfect to make kids's birthday cards!
6. Island Indigo (Ink Pad $6.50 126986) -- I'm going to miss this color the most. Island Indigo is my go-to blue if I want to something lighter than Navy. I love how rich the color is. It acts almost as a neutral when combine with other colors. I will miss you Island Indigo. We'll have to see if one of the new ink colors can take it's place...
7. Metallic Enamel Shapes $7.00 141678 -- These cute little silver and gold enamel shapes are one of my go-to embellishments. They add the perfect amount of shine to any card. And the fact that they are neutrals means they can go on almost any card. I'll be sad to lose these ones, but at least the faceted gems are carrying over. And we're getting some new pretty pearls and gems.
8. Magical Day Stamp Set $22.00 145857 (Clear Mount) -- I thought this set was cute when I first saw the Occasions catalog, but I didn't necessarily want it immediately. But then I started seeing cards being made with the set and knew I needed to buy it. I've been having so much fun making whimsical cards featuring these images. I think my favorite might be the mermaid. I'm sure another whimsical set is on the horizon, but I might just have to keep this set for awhile.
9. Brick Wall Embossing Folder $8.50 138288 -- I just bought this one in March and haven't used it that much, but know that it's a great texture. In the time that it took me to put together this post, the folder is completely sold out!
10. Frozen Treats Dies $27.00 142756 -- And lastly, I love the Frozen Treats Dies. These are perfect for making cute ice cream cones, popsicles, and sundaes. I love the combinations you can make and just look at those texture pieces! I'll be sad to lose this one.
