World Fussy Cutting Day

I copied this from Facebook this morning.

 World Fussy Cutting Day was inspired by our friend Sharon Klima, who passed away from a heart attack in January 2025.  

Sharon had owned her store, Buffalo Stamps & Stuff for over 30 years and was known and loved by many in our industry.  Proud wife, mom and grandma, she loved memory keeping and cardmaking – especially when fussy cutting was involved.  Many of us liked to sit by her in classes, so she could do our fussy cutting for us.

The weekend before Sharon passed, she participated as a host instructor for a virtual cardmaking event.  Throughout the weekend, she mentioned she wasn’t feeling well but thought nothing of it.  She just thought it was something she ate or a touch of the flu.  None of us expected that we would lose her on the Monday after the event.

Sadly, Sharon’s story is not unique.  Heart disease symptoms are not easy to discern, and they are different in women than in men.  Often when we are not feeling well, we tend to minimize our symptoms and push on, caring for others before ourselves.

I’d like to think that Sharon would be grateful that her story could be used to help others, and that’s what World Fussy Cutting Day is all about.  Let’s learn together about heart disease and how we can better take care of ourselves for many more years of crafting.
