Feel Better Wishes for the INCOMPARABLE Bev Rochester!!!!!

 
 
Hi everyone and welcome to our

Circle of Friends Blog Hop

especially for our dear DT member and friend

Bev Rochester
 
Unfortunately, Bev has had to take a little break from crafting over the past few months due to ill health. We are missing her here at Whimsy and want to let her know that we are thinking about her and wishing her a speedy recovery. Even though the Whimsy family is scattered all around the world, we have come together as a circle of friends to show Bev our love and support by each making her a card or project.

Although this hop is for Bev, we do hope you will hop along with us to support our wonderful teammate and friend. If you arrived here from Simonne's Blog, then you are in the right place! If you’ve happened upon this post by chance and would like to hop with us, hop on over to the Whimsy Stamps blog to begin the hop.

For my creation, I decided to ink up the darling little Hazel designed by the incomparable Sylvia Zet of Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps! I have also used flowers and accoutrements from Wild Orchid Crafts and other things from my stash.



I made a gift bag to hold some of the things which I know are some of Bev's favorites....MARSHMALLOW!!! And Bev, they are on their way to you as you have a peek at my creation!
 
I can share with all of you that Bev Rochester is sincerely one of the beautiful people in the world and is so special to me. From the moment I made my very first card, I wrote to Bev and she always answered my emails and was always willing to help me and give me suggestions and advice. If I had to name one person who has given me the most inspiration in this hobby, I would never hesitate to name Bev Rochester. She has become one of my dearest of friends and I had the pleasure of spending time with her at last year's CHA--an experience I will never forget!!! She is beautiful on the inside and outside and her cardmaking expertise and artistic talents are unsurpassed!!!

 
 
Here is the back of the gift bag...and here is what should be arriving at the Rochester household very soon!!!!!
 
 
 
 
Mr. Tony...I didn't forget you and know that you will soon be going in for knee replacements so you will have your share of fall M&Ms...big smile!!!!
 
Bev, please feel better real soon and know that there are many like me who love and cherish you and can't wait to see you wandering around Cyberia again real soon!!! Big special hugs for you and Tony!!! Love you both!!!
 
 
So now it's time for you to hop over to ... Kathy's Blog. Finally, here is a full hop list in hopping order:


Thanks so much for stopping by today and you are welcome to leave comments along the way for Bev!!!! You can be assured that she will read them!!! Hugs to all!!!

How sweet to do a hop for Bev, I am a huge fan of hers and wondered why she wasn't blogging very much at the moment, I pray she recovers quickly. I emailed Bev a couple of years ago after seeing her beautiful cards and she was so gracious to email back and forward with me, I even sent her some Flourish with a Bling products (my company) and she used some and linked them to my online store, I was so flattered as I know how busy and in demand she is in the crafting world.

Jane said...

What a wonderful idea...I miss dear Bev sooo much and she was also the person who got me on my crafty journey by teaching me how to colour with Promarkers. She is such a wonderful lady and I too wish her well and hope to see her back here in the crafty world when she is better. This card is just wonderful, she will love it x

Niki Estes said...

This is so cute, Jacque!! I miss Bev's creations, too, and things get better for her soon!

Carole Pollard said...

Hi Jacque such a fantastic card and what a brilliant idea I do miss looking at Bev's amazing cards Love Carole x

Romayne said...

Like many others I've been continually checking Bev's blog for her return & equally concerned to not see that happen yet. But I also have had a horrendous year health wise & making cards has been hard to keep doing as you just need to be in the mood, which invariably when you're not well, is the first thing to go.

So, Bev, please just enjoy the break as it can be really imperative to enable you to recover into the future, and I trust you'll soon feel well enough to return to the blogosphere at some point up ahead :). Hugz, Romayne xx

Trish said...

Hi Jacques,
Fab card.
This hop is a brilliant idea to let Bev know how much she is missed and how much we do care for her. Your words are so very touching and I'm sure will mean a lot to her. Personally I do miss her blog and inspiration- I've been a follower for many years. My prayers are for your recovery.
Many hugs to you both, Jacque & Bev,
Trish xx

Your card is so pretty! The little witch on it is adorable and cute idea to add Bev in the tiles. Fun touch with the little pumpkins dangling among the bows.

Wendy Nicola Jackson said...

Such a lovely tribute and treats for Bev Jacque. Your lovely gift bag is super fun and I'm sure she'll love all the marshmallow treats. Your words are so lovely too. I've always found huge inspiration through Bev's work and have loved following her journey first through the UK crafty mags and then through her blog. I miss her dearly and worry about her so much! So it deeply warms my heart that this blog hop is done for her benefit. I hope she'll get a glimpse of the love and care that is sent her way through all this. Not just from the amazing cards and gifts from the wonderful Whimsy DT, but followers who miss her greatly. Hugs, Wends x
