So long, farewell…

Kate, cathleen, Lori. Lynn, Deb and Carolyn I’m keeping with my Sound of Music theme from the DT Challenge yesterday, as I say a sad good-bye to one of my inaugural design team members and former Dirty Dozen (she was with me first…tee hee!), Cathleen. She has decided to step down from the team due to growing family commitments, but she will always have an incredibly special place in my heart.

Here we are at our CHA DT dinner from Chicago 2010. On the left is Cathleen’s daughter, Sara, who just got engaged this past weekend! This was such a fun evening and Cathleen completely made it all happen. I still think about this night and all the fun (and alcohol) we had.

cathleen Not only is Cathleen an amazing person and friend, but she is beyond talented and has such a flair for elegance and detail in her stamping. I mean, look at these recent projects! It’s no wonder she was picked as a Dirty Girl!

So, it is with a heavy heart that I say good-bye but I encourage you to visit her gallery over at SCS and be in awe yourself or stop by her blog and let her know yourself!

Thank you, my friend for your years of dedication and for helping me get this crazy adventure off the ground! You’ll be missed but I know where to find you! {group hug}…please pass the tissues.
