    I haven't seen a lot of new products from OLB and just checking her gallery this am to see what her CT have added this month, it seems that it's a 2016 kit people have used. I hope she's not leaving because I love her designs.

    Ditto Paislee Press who left MPM last summer. :cryI noticed I didn't have an email from her today with a BYOC bundle price and no items for sale from her - so far- for this month.

    Please tell me I'm worrying in vain!

    So I'm not the only one having those feelings and ideas.. The internet community is a great place, but not being able to get in touch when we worry is a big downside to it.
    Let's hope it because of happy things that they're a bit inactive.

    I know that sometimes life gets in the way for our awesome designers, just like it gets in the way for us to scrap!
    Laura? Anything you would like to add? @lmccandless

    Glad to know I wasn't the only one fearing the loss of possibly two great designers. I understand when life interferes but we scrappers can be nervous nellies. (moi!)

    Well happily Liz / Paislee Press has her newsletter out with special bundle prices on Spring Vibes. Spring...ha! We're having 60mph winds which are scary!!!

    I am always excited when I find one of OLB's kit in the SOSN sale for the week. I love using her stuff and certainly hope that she isn't retiring or leaving the Lilypad. Anyone on her Creative team willing to give us a clue?

    I've been concerned about Peppermint as well. She hasn't posted on her blog/instagram in a while (at least the OLB ones-- I don't follow her personal Insta) I think she had said something about some medical issues in the fall, but no real update since then.

    I’ve been thinking that if it brings a designer joy to see their products used perhaps we could bring Peppermint some joy, for whatever season she’s going through. Perhaps a challenge to make a layout with purely OLB products - we’ll have fun playing with beautiful designs and filling her gallery might be like sending her a bunch of flowers. I don’t think I have the authority to start an unauthorised challenge but I’m going to make a page this weekend

    Last fall, as she shared on her IG page, Peppermint was diagnosed with melanoma. She had surgery to remove it and is just taking some time for herself. Thanks so much for your concern, everyone.

    You always have authority to start any challenge you want in the Memory Motivators forum! https://the-lilypad.com/forum/forum/memory-motivators.412/
    You could totally start an OLB challenge - I love the idea of filling her gallery like sending her flowers!

    As I am now a 12 year melanoma survivor, I do hope Peppermint is doing well now and gets as much time to herself as needed. Big hugs to her.

    Oh my! I didn't know this! I sure hope that the surgery was successful and that she is feeling better now! Melanoma is a scary beast, so I'm praying she caught it early!!
