WOO HOO!

So today we're doing the happy, celebration dance.  Today at noon is my dad's LAST radiation treatment!!

He has been such a trooper through all of this.  We're still not at the end of everything, he still has a surgery coming up, but we're 1/2 way through all this.  We are SO PROUD of him!

Of course, we have to celebrate and who celebrates better than good 'ole Stella from Bugaboo Stamps.

HA HA!  I love this lady!  She has such a way with words (and facial expressions!!)  I'm sure my dad will get a kick out of her too!!

You can't really tell but the balloon, bow and two party hats are popped up on dimensionals - It looks SUPER cute in person!

Image - Bugaboo Stamps Stella - She really looks like she'd be hollerin' WOO HOO, doesn't she?!  LOL

Paper - PP - Doodlebug prints, Orange, Teal, Black & Green Cardstock from my stash

Technique - Magic Colored Pencil Technique

Miscellaneous - Dimensionals for Hats, Balloons & Bow on package; Stickles, Flat Backed Black Pearls, Doodling and Computer Generated Sentiment.

On the Inside it says:  "I'm the life of the party, even if it lasts til 8 pm!"

Thanks so much for stopping by today and 'celebrating' with us today! 

I hope you have a terrific weekend - we've got a few things to get done around the house this weekend, so we're hoping to make some progress.

Happy Craftin'!
