It was news that one of "us," one of our stamping sisters had suddenly died. Joanne Johnson had been happily blogging talking about the Christmas holiday that was fast approaching and then next post was from her husband telling of her sudden passing. Gosh, if that isn't a huge message for us to all live life to the fullest, I really don't know what is.
So, in honor of Joanne, I offer up this card as a tribute to all the loving cardmakers here in blog land. Joanne, as you craft up there in the heavens above--- this one is for you. "A Journey Is Best Measured In Friends." I was happy to have known you!
If you'd like to offer Joanne's family your condolences, please stop by Joanne's place on the web by clicking HERE.God Bless,
