A message from Vickie Enkoff's family:
Vickie started Creative Chaos many years ago, and collaborated with many artists along the way. Sadly, we
|
|
|
lost her on August 17, 2007, to polymyositis and congestive heart failure. You can read more on this memorial
|
|
|
page: Memorial for Vickie
Vickie's family sought out a person who could take over the stamp line in a way that honored customers, just as
|
|
Vickie always had. She left big shoes to fill, and we did not anticipate that there would be someone who would
|
|
|
love and nurture the line as she did. But we were contacted by Amy of Alluring Impressions, and were happily
|
|
|
surprised by her level of interest and commitment.
I exchanged many notes with Amy over many weeks, and we talked as much about family, principles of being
|
|
|
good to each other, and the legacies we leave as we did business negotiation. She bought the company this
|
|
|
week, and has made adjustments to the site in order to reroute payments and orders. She is ready to fill your
|
|
|
orders and step in to Vickie's big shoes. Vickie would want you to welcome her and support her as the new
|
|
|
business owner- she went out of her way to support new businesses- and Vickie's family is happy about the
selection of the new owner. We wish her love and luck.
Amy Erickson started her first stamp company, Alluring Impressions, in 2006. She lives in MN with her
|
|
|
husband, son, and two canine kids. She has been stamping since 1993, and enjoys gardening, photographing
|
|
nature, and the outdoors. Amy is a part time graphic design student.
Amy has graciously decided to donate 5% of all sales to The Village Free School, a non-profit that Vickie
|
|
|
proudly supported (and where her grandson attends school) through November 2007, so your first orders will
|
|
|
support Amy and honor Vickie all at once.
You'll see that little has changed on this website so far... Amy will come to make it her own over time. You may
|
|
|
note that the collage sheets are no longer available here. The collage line has been sold to Lisa of
|
|
|
Collage Stuff, and you can find Vickie's sheets there. The zines and accessories are being discontinued for
|
|
|
now, but we will seek other ways to distribute Vickie's zines in the future. Thank you for your support of
|
|
|
Creative Chaos over the years. Please join me in welcoming and congratulating the Erickson family on the
|
|
|
rebirth of Creative Chaos Rubber Stamps.
Sincerely,
Melanie Sage & Jennifer Schmidt (Vickie's daughters) and Grady Enkoff (Vickie's husband of 37 years)
