Moxie Fab Thanks

Well, folks... there's not much that could bring me out of my crafty semi-retirement... but this is one of them.

Because... um... yeah... she's Cath.
CATH.

So unanimously beloved in our little crafty community that she has one of those single name names that doesn't even need a last name to accompany it, or even the "y" that usually comes after those first four letters 99% of the time.

Just... CATH.

And this is what I have to say about said Cath...

Cath... I still remember our very first CHA meeting where your excitement over a submission of mine was darned near unbelievable to me. 

I remember that specific feeling... that moment of "she gets it!"
That feeling of being understood.

Your excitement was about the cards... but it also wasn't.
Your excitement about all of our projects always seemed to be more about... us.

An excitement for us when we came with something that we loved... an excitement for us when we challenged ourselves... somehow it never seemed like it was about the cards.

It's hard to find, isn't it?
Someone who makes you feel encouraged... uplifted... valued.

I wish I had a card to share today... but as life would have it, this week I've been tied up living out what I talked about with you in my last post.  But I've been doing something that I love... challenging myself... trying new things. 

And I'm going to guess that you are excited about that for me :)

Just like I'm excited about whatever good thing is in store for you.

I admit... to me... it feels a little bit like part of the heart of Paper Crafts is leaving.
But I cannot help but think that you are going to end up doing something that you love... challenging yourself... trying new things.

And I think what we want is to make sure you feel is encouraged... uplifted... valued.


It was never about the cards... was it?

Here's to you, Cath.
Along with the most EPIC memory of the Great Wall of China {cake} there ever was :)

You probably arrived here via Ashley Nguyen Newell, so your next stop on this Moxie Fab Thanks tour is...
