Goodness, I started out strong tod...Dearest Lizzie! Goodness, I started out strong today but after reading that you and Betsy, then maybe Dawn & Michelle are all leaving PTI, honestly, I’m in tears. All of you weren’t just designers I followed, but good friends I brought into my home month after month. Crafting is a personal part of me. When my hubby Jim and I bought our home 3 1/2 years ago, we gutted it and then renovated. That’s why I was gone from crafting for almost 2 years. ( maybe slightly longer). So I totally understand the break you’re taking. I guess the hard part for me is it feels like part of my family is leaving & so many at one time. I’ve followed your work, bought your designs and loved your blog. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything you have done. From your great instructions, answering my questions, inspiring me endlessly and your beautiful creations. I will miss you, everyday! I hope you have tons of fun with your home, it’s hard work but so rewarding. Btw, I’m still working on some interior design to this day. Having a home seems to always be a work in progress! Ha ha. Lots of luck, with hugs, Stephanie. P.S. I’ve bookmarked your blog, so I’ll be checking in.

I was drawn to PTI by Melissa Phillips. We were living in Phoenix at the time and I happened to walk into a paper crafting store. I'll never forget that moment. I was absolutely in awe of what I saw! I picked up a card magazine and found a project that Melissa had created - A Christmas house. It was love at first sight. I had never heard of blogging or card making. Long story short - I never looked back and PTI became my "Go To" company for stamping inspiration and supplies.<br /><br />Lizzie, it makes me sad to see you go, but, I completely understand. To grow we must move - and it sounds like you have a lot on your plate with the remodel and of course, a little one at your feet. I wish you well, and want you to know that although I'm not much of a commenter, I am a looker. Your designs, like those of your team mates inspire me each and every month. I will definitely check in now and then to see how the remodel is going - maybe I'll see a card or two (she smiles). God speed!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Susie ~Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132441666676400797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592716787967163045.post-74603704891655551282019-01-21T19:16:47.430-05:002019-01-21T19:16:47.430-05:00You are a gem who will be truly missed!

And I love your card designs so much--full of detail but not fussy. And I also appreciate how you write up how you make your cards. You are very specific but also quite concise, and that's not easy to accomplish, but you do. I wish you all the best! If you start designing for another company, please let us know on your IG. I follow you there. And congrats to Sean on opening a new restaurant today!

Your reno will certainly take up a great deal of time but should be so rewarding especially when you look back and say, 'I did this'. Beware of reno's reputation for causing divorces. If you get through it, your marriage will be so much stronger! LOL Good luck and keep using those creative talents that you were so well endowed with.
