Karin Ruffo 1952-2002 The Scrapaholics Hideaway is dedicated to a true scrapbooker and close friend who passed away suddenly, with many pages still left to add to her album… …devoted wife, mother, friend… She touched our lives with kindness, thoughtfulness and abundant love. Scrapbooking was one of her passions, and it was evident in the great energy and enthusiasm she poured into every layout. She was always one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave any crop party. If there was a LSS nearby, she'd shopped there; if there was a new scrapbooking "toy" on the market, she knew about it and probably owned it… We miss her laughter, her warmth, and her thoughtfulness. Most of all we miss her friendship. We will always save a spot of remembrance for her at every crop table, for we know she is cropping with us in spirit… and when we reunite with her in heaven, she'll have another lifetime of albums already finished… "Don't think for a second I've forgotten your face, For all of your pictures, in my scrapbook I've placed. So when your absence I can no longer bare, I open this book and find you in there. Scraps of your life, I've glued and pasted, Not a single memory of you, have I wasted. Of our family you will forever be a part, And our love for you is treasured in our hearts." -Author unknown
