If you speak of Lynn Grieveson and Rachel Jefferies - they have not left, but have just opened an additional store at another site. It allows them to broaden their customer base by having two stores.
I'm still here and have just re-launched my Pocket Art Series for this year, read about it here - I loved combining this project with the BYOC!! I am here and scrapbooking too
You'll still find Lynn and Rachel here at The Lilypad as they have always been. They are not only incredible creatives, they are also smart businesswomen. Opening a secondary store will allow them to increase their customer base in today's digital marketplace.
Yep! Love TLP in all the ways- we have an awesome fan base who are amazingly creative! (hello MOC!) fun forum - Pollys who are always an inspiration in all they do- and the TLP designers are busy right now working together and planning out joy for the upcoming months! What I love most is all our unique and different styles somehow all come together and compliment each other!
Well said @ForeverJoy! This is an amazing place, with amazing designers and creative people and friends!!! @bjc you can be calm because nothing is happening and everything remains the same as always and stay tuned because we will coming with several news and improvements throughout the year!
I saw the announcement and got a bit scared too, until I realized Rachel and Lynn are staying here and just opening another store to broaden their fan base. TLP is home for me, so I'm relieved they are staying here too.
@Pachimac we love it here too (look at me putting words into @Rachel Jefferies mouth - but I know it's true)
i fear the end is coming. To many changes and what be next. I dont play no where else, maybe have 1 or 2 laouts in there gallery but here over 900, i have shared my soul here. I dont want to have to go some where else. I wished to have time to get used to the changes, if the m3 banner wasnt ion top n store, the more time i see it missing, it would maybe dawn on me, it was ending.
@Cath_ There's no need to fear! As we've shared, Lynn and Rachel made some important business decisions. I hope you'll see that our forum and gallery are as active as ever.
@lmccandless has definitely created a "bare your soul" community here! The end isn't coming at all because of that LOVE found in ever bit of this place. The designer responses in this thread cement that fact here that good things are happening & even more LIFE is to come! Never fear!
I'd listen to Cheryl! She's a heart here & a voice I trust! (Mainly because I can HEAR her voice saying this!)
This. I'm so glad Rachel and Lynn are still here. And Lynne-Marie is back with a gorgeous new collection, which is also good news!
