Today, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend and fellow cardmaker, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey’s husband Burke thought it would be a great time to sell off her many craft supplies, with all of the proceeds going towards Lindsey’s Legacy Fund for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research in cooperation with The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
The purpose of this hop will be to honour Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as help spread the word to raise funds for clear cell ovarian cancer research. You can help in one of several ways!
Purchase a Flat Rate Mailer stuffed with loads of fabulous craft supplies. These can only be mailed within Canada and there will be no tax receipts provided with the purchase of these boxes. A box of craft supplies would make a great gift for yourself, a crafty friend or a child/classroom! For details about the boxes and how you can go about purchasing one, please email lindseyslegacyfund@rogers.com with the message "Craft Box" or visit Lindsey’s original blog, Bashful Blogging. Every craft box purchase in September will be entered into a draw and one lucky winner will win a $100 gift certificate to Scrap ‘n Stamp
During the month of September, shop at Scrap ‘n Stamp using the code LINDSEY10 at checkout. You will get 10% off your purchase (sale items excluded) and Scrap ‘n’ Stamp will donate 10% of their proceeds to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund.
Any donations over $15 made directly to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund will receive a digital tax receipt.

Such a lovely tribute to Lindsey - your gingerbread mice are just the cutest Kim! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteAw this is so cute! Her family would love this
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gingerbread mice. I know her family will be blessed at Christmas. Thanks for sharing your memories with those of us who are getting to know Lindsey now.
ReplyDeleteThis is darling, Kim! I am so sorry that Covid spoiled the chance of you meeting Lindsey in person. I agree with everything you said about her. Her family will love receiving this at Christmas. Oh, by the way, You have great tastes in friends! I here you will be visiting one very soon that is very dear to me too. Enjoy your time together!
ReplyDeleteyour card is is cute. Such a great tribute Kim.
ReplyDeleteI actually "met" Lindsey during the first 25 Days of Tags that I participated in. She contacted me about a background I was using to photograph my tags. She bought the identical paper and we became background buddies and the rest is history. Such a cute card Kim. They'll love receiving it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling card! Lindsey's family will certainly love it!
ReplyDeleteI 'met' Lindsey when we both found ourselves together on the Naughty or Nice team and then she opened the door for me to the wonderful crew at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. She was truly one in a million and I feel so blessed to have known her. We all miss her every day, don't we. I often think of Burke and Duncan, and send them a mental hug. She'd love your card, which is adorable, Kim. Big hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your story Kim! I always loved her tags. This is a wonderful card and I know her family will love it.
ReplyDeleteLindsey would be head-over-heels in love with your gingerbread Mickey and Minnie, as am I! It's absolutely adorable! Such a shame that you and Joyce were "this close" to meeting her but had to alter plans. I join you in wishing I had an opportunity to do so but...was not meant to be. Being part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags was such fun, wasn't it. Memories galore to treasure. I know you'll agree that we're so blessed to have 'known' her. Sending you big hugs and much love!

Kim this is such a fantastic card for Lindsey! The gingerbread mickey and minnie are so so cute! I'm so sorry that you never had a chance to meet her in real life but I assure you that whatever you thought she would be like, she was in every way! We can keep her in our memories because that is what we do when we lose someone in our life.
