Team Yumi & Team Fumi

Rosemary, Team Yumi - Mahalo!

Hello everyone,

This is the last showcase post which means it's time to say goodbye.  I hope you have not only enjoyed but been inspired by all the beautiful projects created by our very beloved and most talented team.  As you know we could not have done the kind of job we did without this supporting cast and we thank them daily for it.

We have one last Thank you showcase and this one is very bittersweet for us.  Rosemary of Rosemary's Creations is not only a team member, fantastic crafter, but a very good friend.  We first met via FB and then in person at CHA a year and a half ago.  Has it been that long? Wow, how time flies.  From the first she has always been sweet and kind.  The kind of person we new we'd get along with immediately.  She became a part of the first ohana and we were blessed when she continued to stay on as well as take on Team Yumi.

She has been a constant inspiration with her beautifully designed projects that just take our breath away.  Her coloring and attention to details rocks.  We were very fortunate, some would say lucky, that even though her schedule of teams became super full she still stayed on with us. Well they'd be right.  We have been in awe of the many designs she's produced and will definitely miss her.  Lucky for us we know where to find her. Yep on FB, hahaha!  We love this lady to pieces and call her sister for life.  Please take some time to enjoy some of the beautiful projects she created using Yumi & Fumi and the rest of the gang...

 

It's totally true, we can't thank you enough Rosie.  For all that you do and all that you are.  Mahalo for everything sister!!  We'll be seeing you in blogland, oh yea and of course on FB. ;) 

I hope you've enjoyed this super drawn out showcase as much as I enjoyed sharing it.  If you should ever need some inspiration all you have to do is look on our side bar and click on the names of these talented ladies both past, present and guest designers.  They all deserve it.

It's been a wonderful ride with all of you there to support us and we'll truly miss it.  If circumstances change we'll let you know.  Just keep checking back.  If you have any of our stamps and choose one to create a project with share with us.  Upload it to your Splitcoast Stampers album and use key word: yumifumi (no spaces) so we can come and admire it.  Pin it on Pinterest or upload it on our FB group.

Thanks for the memories and for helping us give life to our images.  When you think of Yumi & Fumi Handmade we hope it makes you smile then we know we did our job.

From our ohana to yours Mahalo, until we meet again...
