Lindsey's Legacy Hop

If you're following along with Lindsey's Hop you should have arrived here from The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Today, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend and fellow cardmaker, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. 

I will always feel blessed to have been a member of Lindsey's extensive friendship group. She was kind, witty and wise, and I miss our frequent email and FB chats very much. We were both school librarians and had battled the same battles for funding and recognition, and I found her clear-headed common sense so helpful during my final years in the job. Her tremendous sense of humour was something else I will always treasure.

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!

1. Purchase a Flat Rate Mailer stuffed with loads of fabulous craft supplies.  These can only be mailed within Canada and there will be no tax receipts provided with the purchase of these boxes.  A box of craft supplies would make a great gift for yourself, a crafty friend or a child/classroom!  For details about the boxes and how you can go about purchasing one, please email lindseyslegacyfund@rogers.com with the message "Craft Box" or visit Lindsey’s original blog, Bashful Blogging.  Every craft box purchase in September will be entered into a draw and one lucky winner will win a $100 gift certificate to Scrap ‘n Stamp.

2. During the month of September, shop at Scrap ‘n Stamp using the code LINDSEY10 at checkout.  You will get 10% off your purchase (sale items excluded) and Scrap ‘n’ Stamp will donate 10% of their proceeds to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund.

3. Any donations over $15 made directly to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund will receive a digital tax receipt.

4. Repost this hop on your social media and encourage others to share!

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

This is the card I made to honour Lindsey....

I think she'd approve as she liked a cocktail or two! The stamped images are from Happy Hour by Janes Doodles and I had fun masking and merging them.

I'm linking this card over at Colour Hues, who are also taking part in this hop. 

Thanks so much for hopping with us, and please head back to The Sisterhood's post to see more of our Lindsey Inspired creations.
