Last June 15, I received an email from Alice, a friend of Ruthie of sugarshackscraps. She informed us (my fellow members of sugarshackscraps's club) that Ruthie is very sick. The short note read: "Ruthie has asked me to contact all the Club Members as she is in hospital and will be in and out for a long time.She is closing her shop and blog soon and giving pro-rated refunds to the members." There was no further information about her sickness but Ruthie has been sharing in her blog about her pains. I, for one didn't know it was serious.
On June 17, barely two days after that notice, another message was sent by Alice: "Ruthie lost her fight to cancer yesterday at 4:45 pm. Her battle with cancer has been a difficult one, as she just recently received the diagnosis. There was no time to say goodbye to her husband or 4 Children and 9 Grandchildren, it just happened so fast and unexpected. She will be missed!"
I have been a member of her club since January and like Anita and Janice, she also has a very nice TOU for her kits (for members only). One can use their kits for making QPs and S4H/S4O friendly.
One of the first kits I had with my membership is "Powder Blue." I made QPs from this kit which I was supposed to upload earlier this year but I always forget. I only remember I made these when I received the news about her crossing the silver thread. How I wish I was able to upload this before so that Ruthie would have seen it.
