CARSON RUBBER STAMP CONVENTION THIS WEEKEND

Hi Friends of Stampin' from the Heart

Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend at
The Original Rubber Stamp Convention in Carson, CA.

The show shuts down at 4:00pm, let's try to meet outside in the garden area to say a quick hello to each other and do some catching up.

If any of you can and want to maybe we can get together for dinner after convention.  There are some nice restaurants near IKEA which isn't too far away.

Give me a shout if you're going to be there and if you think you can make dinner.

RIP JUDY NACE

You will be missed!!!

This post is for all my friends at Stampin' from the Heart--it is with a heavy heart that I need to let you know one of our own--Judy Nace has passed away. She had COPD and caught a cold, by the time she was found the paramedics could do nothing. The following is a message I received from her friend another Stampin' from the Heart friend Alan He texted me the following: "On Saturday 1/9 one of Judy’s friends, Susan called her and asked her how she was doing. Others called because we knew that when she caught a cold it would always go to her lungs. The worst thing for someone with COPD. Judy answered but probably couldn’t get her breath since Susan heard a very long pause with just the TV making sounds. Finally she heard some faint response and asked Judy if she was okay. She said no. Susan said she would be right over but from where she lived it was about 45 minutes to an hour away, maybe more in L.A. traffic. When she got there Judy couldn’t answer the door. Susan called 911 and they came and broke down the door. She was taken to the hospital and after a while the doctor asked Susan if she had any final wishes. It was 7:29 p.m. on Jan. 9. Her COPD was being managed quite well before all this. The cause of death was heart failure." RIP Judy, you will be missed

HAPPY NEW YEAR--AND A SAD GOODBYE TO TWO OF OUR NEAREST AND DEAREST

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S

Dear Stampin' from the Heart Family and Friends

As we all start this New Year, I would like to wish each of you and your family members a very happy, healthy and prosperous year.  Here's wishing you love in your lives, miracles that are seen and wonderful memories with families during the year.  Something you might want to do during the year--get a gallon jar and keep post-it notes next to it; at the end of the day put a note in it about what good happened that day, then at the end of the year go back and read what you have written--you will see many smiles, hugs and miracles.

This was a sad year in the fact that we lost one of our own.  Nina Montoya (my assistant and co-hort) from the start of Stampin' from the Heart was taken from us.  She was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in July 2014 and she fought, laughed and did all she could do to battle this disease.  She did things that she never tried before, she went on trips to see family, she did Disneyland with her daughter.  She will be very sadly missed.  Thank all of you who made her last days happy by visiting and crafting with her.

Now news coming from a different front; two of our own, Judy Urvan and Susan London will be leaving our area to sojourn with their respective families.  The following is an invitation from Ellie to come say good-bye to our girls before they leave for good--we hope to see many of you come.

SAVE THE DATE!
