The flooding in Louisiana is devastating, and it hits close to home for one of our own on the CutCardStock Design Team, Kathryn.
She recently shared some images that are heartbreaking, but also heart warming to see the caring spirts of those affected, including her own family members.
“Some photos posted by my friends — just a few of the many heart wrenching scenes here.”
“My son Stephen walking in the street to my father-in-law’s house. It sustained over 4 feet of water.
He lived there for 40 years and had never flooded. Like so many others, he did not have
flood insurance.”
“Bass Pro Shop — many large and small businesses have been destroyed”
“People here are resilient and want to help each other — it’s truly amazing to witness and I’m so proud to be part of such a caring community.”
“My amazing 73 year old Dad — won’t quit — pulled out all carpet, shop vacuumed remaining water,
pulled off panelling and now cutting out wet insulation.”

Warm days, cool nights and turning leaves have welcomed fall in abundance here in Maine! One of the things I love about fall and cooler weather is burning my favorite candles.
