One year ago the blogging community lost one of its sweetest souls. Lisa, A.K.A. Bumpkin on a Swing, always had a kind word for everyone. I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her encouragement on more than one occasion. I often reread her emails to me, grateful to have known her, even though it was for such a short moment in time.
Lisa’s dear friend, Trish of Pink Preppy Lilly Lover, organized a beautiful blog hop tribute. By visiting it, you will see just how much of an impact our lovely Bumpkin made!
via we heart it
I hope you feel the love that’s shooting straight up to heaven for you pretty lady. You will forever be rememebered!
