    I know there has been a series of posts like this recently and you all may have a little "goodbye" fatigue, but I wanted to write my own because The Lilypad has been home to my creative heart since 2009 and you all have been a part of my story in some way across all these years. I wanted to thank you for sharing your stories and art with me and for supporting me in myriad ways throughout my journey as a storyteller and designer, as I've grown in my own art making and memory keeping. And during the times when life or the roles I've had to play have had me quieter in my design adventure. I treasure this TLP family so. And I would love to stay connected with you.

    My store here at TLP will officially be closing on 31 December. You can follow me on social media and join my newsletter to stay connected for updates, news, and memory keeping inspiration.

    I long to return to the writing of my own story and creating products that help you tell yours. And so I am looking forward to new chapters in the new year and have many plans for my designs and for story classes in the year to come.

    With love and gratitude and all my best wishes,
    xo Sara
