SoSS 244 X is for Xanadu

Hello.. as you know I always take a break from design team stuff during baseball season. As I am finally able to start up, the Sisterhood as a collective, me included, have decided to take a break. All of the Sisters need a break.  This will be our last challenge for 2023. We will be back in 2024 well rested and ready to Snark It Up. We do hope you will join us again when we start up again. 

Our fabulous Lee did an amazing job getting Edna ready for Xanadu. 

I admit I struggled with this one I had something in mind but then didn't have what I thought I did. 

Ended up doing this instead.. which is close to what I wanted to do..

It is hard to tell but the background is gold not black. 

Closer of the sentiment

My neighbours listen to good music, whether the like it or not.

Stuff used

Lindsey's Legacy Hop

 Today, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend and fellow cardmaker and sistah, 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!

Longtime followers of The Sisterhood already know what a joy Lindsey was to so many of us.  Her wit, intelligence and creativity brought so much light into our lives and she is dearly missed. 

Today we are hosting our own little Happy Hour in honor of Linds who did love a good cocktail.  There won't be a gallery however we will be back tomorrow with our regularly scheduled programming.  

Lindsey’s Legacy Hop begins at Emily Leiphart’s blog.  If you get lost along the way, please return to Emily’s blog where she will have the entire hop list.

How to hop:

💙 Like and leave a comment at each stop

💙 Learn a little bit about Lindsey’s connection to that person

💙 Share this post and help us save lives

I also made this one because she loved flowers and pretty patterned paper. The saying is from Tim Holtz snarky cats, which was also a fav of Lindsey's.
