This is a great idea. For those of you that didn't know her she was kind funny person that was always willing to help out with leather related questions. she posted a lot on the site and if she had an opinion that differed from yours she was more than willing to share it! One of her great dreams was to attend Sheridan for the leather show there. She made that trip. It cost her a lot, more than she had and more than she could afford, she had many health issues that could have stopped her on this trip, she new that and went ahead with it anyway. I never met her in person but i was so proud of her that she did it. She lived that dream. I hope that can be said of me when its my time.

I found leather work and this site several years ago when things were not going well for me. she was one of the first people I met in the chat room along with Leatherwytch, Rossr, Squirrelly,  Bonnie and Halitech, Yin and Leatherisfun as well as several others.  Jazzman was also there. Some of you may remember him but he left us awhile ago too, these people made a difference, Cheryl made a difference.

For those of you that new her and met her you were lucky to have done so. We also argued a lot! on pretty much everything, i joked that i was only allowed one hippie friend and that she was it. All of us that new her have a story and a memory of her. I would encourage you to tell that story, here and now and if you can spare it, kick in a few dollars for someone that made a difference  

Thanks Johanna, Well done LW

I will miss her greatly but I will not forget her. 

Hey well done, awesome to hear from me again!

Good luck OB, I know you guys will do great! but I will miss looking at your leather work

Johanna has not collected "stuff" for herself. She created a site where information could be shared by all.and input given by all. I for one am very grateful for that have have learned a great deal and also met some great people in the chat room. None of that however creates a debt or a responsibility to Johanna and her team to meet the demands and expectations of anyone just because they are not happy with the site. She doesn't owe you, me or anyone anything!

Perhaps you can offer some insight and assistance to Johanna and her team on how to address the issues rather than just complain about how you cant see a picture on a free site that you have contributed nothing to (in terms of building and maintaining the site, and financially contributing) but seem to have taken advantage of (in terms of accessing and using this valuable information)

Johanna, you and your team have done a great job. As Halitech pointed out, its a free site. People can suck it up and stop whinging. Take the day off Johanna!

Well said Hali

You sir or Madam are not the only one who shares that super power, we need to form a league
