Wow - The Thrifty Chick

One of my favorite blogs is The Thrifty Chick. Stacey, a stay-at-home mom of four, runs this blog, and I love her ideas, tips, and tricks. I originally found her blog while looking for personalized board games - she's got great tutorials on making personalized checkers, Yahtzee, etc. I've enjoyed reading about all her projects, and there are many things on her blog I want to try.

She hasn't posted much in the last two weeks because she has a new baby, Greyson, who's only 14 days old. Today, when I logged onto blogger, I saw she'd updated. However, when I read the blog post a few minutes ago, it wasn't a post from Stacey - it was a post from her sister, saying that she'd unexpectedly passed away on Monday after having a stroke. Even though I only know this woman through blogging, I am so saddened by this! The pictures of baby Greyson she posted only a few days ago now just break my heart - he got to spend less than two weeks with his momma! Her four children are all young- 8 and under.

For all you crafters out there, I recommend checking out Stacey's blog while it is still available. I'm not sure how long all her great ideas will be there now that she's passed away. I will really miss reading about her new ideas. My thoughts are with the Wolfley family!

Oh my gosh! That is so sad...her site is great. My thoughts and prayers are also with her family. I can't imagine what her poor family and kids must be going through right now.
