In Memory of Wendy

This was a sad read this morning for me at Robyn's Fetish - I had the privilege of being on a DT with Wendy -she is truly gifted and will be missed by all -  Rest in peace my dear crafting friend.

December 18, 2014


I am 56 years young; am retired & live in New Zealand.

My creative passions include most anything paper craft related

- including card making, rubberstamping, digital stamps, scrapbooking, altered art,

art journaling, off the page items, canvases.

I also enjoy cross stitch & knitting.

May you rest in peace with the angels, dear Wendy.

Your gentleness, kindness, generosity and

helpfulness will never be forgotten.

We love you and miss you.
