I just realized ...
 

Mari Koegelenberg isn't in the store anymore! Did she quit? When? How did I not notice way earlier?

Boy, school stuff has been keeping me so busy lately that aside from my CT layouts and occasional digi and hybrid projects I obviously haven't been keeping up-to-date (though I do check out the store to collect goodies I like and see what's going on in the community; and I definitely knew when the newest designers joined), so really ... how could I have missed that?

She left very quietly; I never saw an announcement or sale posted in the SSD newsletter. I think it has been a few months since I realized she was gone (when I looked for something of hers in the shop), and I don't know how long she was gone before I noticed. A comment on the SSD FB page said that it was due to a conflict between her paper and digi lines, if I'm remembering correctly.

Haha, I just noticed that recently, too. I wrote to her on FB, and she said she'd retired in JANUARY. Clearly I do not pay attention to details.

Her Days of the Week collabs with Nicole are still in the shoppe, so I'm hoping to stock up for iNSD. I haven't shopped at all this year, but I was always a huge fan.

Of course, I haven't shopped ALL. YEAR. so I'm sure my cart will be FULLLLLLL come iNSD no matter what.
