Good Bye Stacy Julian!

I found out today that Stacy Julian will be stepping down in her responsibilities at Simple Scrapbook Magazine. Stacy is the founding editor and is a huge part of the feeling of the magazine. She has been a huge influence to my scrapbooking and I hope that she continues to be a driving fource in this industry!

Stacy, I will miss you!

OK, so over on the Simple Scrapbooks blog they have started the Stacy appreciation week. This is what they posted about it.

You can look forward to your regular dose of Stacy in the next FOUR upcoming issues: May/June, July/August, September/October, and our Mini Albums in an Evening special issue, on sale in July. In the meantime, please join us in celebrating Stacy as we kick off the first-ever Stacy Julian Appreciation Week! Want to join in the festivities? Here's what you do:

1. Call. We've set up a special toll-free number that you can call for the next 30 days and leave Stacy a voicemail! How cool is that? Call 1-888-HUG-STACY to share your thoughts. Call NOW, the number is live!
2. Comment. Leave a comment on this blog to let Stacy know how much her work has meant to you. We'll pick one random commenter EVERY DAY this week to win a copy of Stacy's new book, Photo Freedom.
3. Browse. Check out what Stacy has to say on her blog, and please leave her some happy mail there as well. Then visit Wendy's blog and Cathy's blog for more Stacy tributes (one done in video form!).
4. Check Back. We've got guest bloggers showing up all week long, so check back every day for news and updates. (Our Editor in Chief Jennafer Martin is on deck for tomorrow.)
