TRAGIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Good Morning everyone

You can find this week's challenge here.

We have some devastating news to share with you today.

On the 25th of September 2024, our beautiful Veronica, co-owner of The Paper Shelter store, tragically passed away.  
 

Veronica was a kind, gentle, beautiful soul, who made our work here as the Design Team, fulfilling and enjoyable.  We are so desperately sad that she is no longer with us, and I'm sure, anyone who had contact with her, will be too. 

Veronica and her husband at the time, Pedro, started The Paper Shelter store 14 years ago, and have continued to work together to build the beautiful range of images we have all used over the years.  Pedro is the talented artist behind the images we all know and love to create with, and Veronica made them come to life with colour, as well as being the face of The Paper Shelter store, that we all dealt with.  

In honour of Veronica, Pedro will be continuing The Paper Shelter store, and we will be continuing with our challenge, remembering how much passion Veronica brought to their art.  We ask that you, our loyal followers, are patient with us as we make this transition, and as Pedro takes on Veronica's role in the store, along with creating our images.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Pedro, their beautiful son Gabriel (seen with Veronica above), and their family.
