Good morning. It is with much sadness that I am announcing that Karen is retiring from our Design Team.
Karen has been here at Scraps of Darkness/Elegance since the beginning, she is one of our Core Designers, my good friend, and a beautiful person. And I am going to miss having her on the team.
I didn't want this to be a totally sad post though, I know Karen will be spending some of her new free time in her gardens, and with her beautiful grandsons, and I am happy for her, I know I'd rather be spending time on the garden and with my grandson than doing most things!
So as I thought about what I wanted to do in this post, I thought rather than go on and on about it being sad, I would share some of my favorite projects that Karen has done for us, so without further delay, I bring you some of the amazing work of Karen Zueger-Brownell.
