Miss Kymona Tracey from Kreative Kymona is one of the nicest, most down to Earth individuals I have ever met. She is smart, a bit on the quiet side and takes care of everyone with a kind reserve that makes our little So Suzy crew sit back in awe. (And yes, that is me attempting to fluff my hair before Josefine snapped the picture…I told you, #foolishness)
While at the 2017 Creativation, there were more times than not where she would just shake her head and utter, “foolishness” at our little antics. During these moments of “foolish” behavior, Justine, Jennifer, Josefine and I would bust out laughing and it instantly became our new favorite word. Now that we are spread across North America, we quickly became aware of the emptiness in our souls. Where was Kymona asking us, “What foolishness is this”? Who was going to make sure we stayed in line? How could we possibly make it through children, ice storms, husbands who were away on trips and a sudden onslaught of free time? Let’s face it, we missed our Kymona and we felt the NEED to do something quite foolish so she wouldn’t forget us.
We plotted, we planned, we came up with the most epic of shenanigans and designed a custom stamp that truly was the epitome of our friendship.
I designed a special stamp and had John & Vicky from So Suzy Stamps create a custom stamp for all of us ladies to use on this surprise blog post for Kymona! (he he he)
Since we are talking about #foolishness, how could I not make a card in true Suzy Foolishness Form?
The card is silly enough on the front, but the true #foolishness is the fact that I put it on upside down and backwards. He he he, so when she goes to open the card, she needs to turn it around and flip it over to read the inside.
Yep, she is going to kill me, but OMG, talk about FUN!!! I can totally hear her laugh, shake her head and mutter, “foolishness” under her breath when she gets it in the mail!
The good part about our little silliness, I am not alone with the card #foolishness! Justine, Josefine and Jennifer all made cards in honor of our dearly missed friend! Be sure and pop over to their blogs and check out what they made for Kymona’s special #foolishness day.
We love you, Kymona!!!

Kymona is a sweetheart (I’ve been following her blog for quite a while; such a warm, friendly, inspiring place to visit) and I can just imagine how fun she is in person, with her bubbly personality, positive attitude and abundant creativity! The #foolishness stamp is awesome and what better way to showcase it then with a #foolishness card. Sheer delight! A Kymona-esque card in every way; she’ll absolutely love it, as do I! Hearing about and seeing photos of crafting friends enjoying companionship makes my heart smile! Happy May 1st…you’ve started the month with joy!
