Kathreen Ricketson & her husband Robert were on a trip to Coral Bay, western Australia. she sting by a deadly Jellyfish while swimming at beach.. This is the most tragic news which saddened crafters all around the world.

I was away from blogland for about one month, I read previous updates at blogger feed yesterday & there I check a post about her sudden death.Its really was shocking to me because a few weeks back I was checking her daily updates at instagram where she was sharing her camping at beach & many adventures too..
