In Memory of Lisa Lynne Wright...

[kerbear]

Sadly, one of our fellow stamping sisters passed away suddenly this week. It is a terrible loss to our stamping family and to those who admired Lisa Lynne's (llwright) amazing talents, her sunny spirit, and her beautiful smile.

I will be hosting a blog hop in her honor on June 19 beginning 8:00 AM EST and ending 12 midnight on the 20th.

Lisa Lynne was a member of Splitcoast for many years and I was lucky to be a design team sister with Heartfelt Creations. She touched so many lives, including mine. If you would like to participate in the hop, please post your name and blog address and I'll add you to the blog roll. Please post the blog roll that is posted here (a combination of Splitcoast friends and her Heartfelt Creations Alumni teammates).

I have contacted her husband regarding the hop and mailing cards. He will be checking it out and would love to receive cards. He gave me his address and I will be mailing all cards to him in one big box. If you would like to send a card, please let me know and I'll give you my address.

oh my goodness, I did not know Lisa Lynne and just checked out her blog and there is a post from today, obviously prescheduled.

My sympathies to all of you who knew and loved her. Life is so short.

I am shocked by the sudden death of Lisa. I had the honor of working with her in Arlington, Tx. I got to hold her design samples (to be delivered to Heartfelt) and was in awe of her talent. She was sweet, warm and I recognized the excited gleam in her eye of all things crafty. I did not know her long but at the end of that convention she called me friend and hugged me before she left. You never know how much 'you' influence someone. Thanks, Lisa. I will never forget our conversations.

OK- I'm hoping I have everyone listed up to Sarah. If you would like to participate, please post on this thread no later than 11:00 PM EST tonight. Thanks! Kerry
