I wanted to acknowledge the passing of Kathreen Ricketson and her husband last week. I was devastated to read the news stories about their tragic accident on a beach in Australia. It was only last month that we emailed about her upcoming edition of Action Pack magazine (for curious kids and their families that K was somehow managing to compile while on her year-long family adventure.)

Her ideas, creative energy and commitment to making really great, inspiring work for our crafting community will always be remembered and appreciated. Whip Up was the first craft blog I discovered, and right when I was starting Tiny Happy she featured my work and encouraged me to keep going. 

Kathreen and Rob leave two beautiful children- O and O. An education fund has been started for them- you can find out how to donate to it here.

Thank you, Kathreen, for being so awesome. We'll miss you.

    Crazy sad. She truly was a huge pioneer for this community, and it will nit be the same without her.

    So sad. Whip Up was one of the first ones I read too. Awful for their children. Thoughts and prayers to them.
