Since this is a crafting board, I thought this might interest some of you. The daughter of the founder of Stampin Up might be involved in a murdered for hire case. From articles I’ve read, it sounds like the daughter lived a very pampered and princess-like life. “Fernandez - the daughter of Sterling and Shelli Gardner, who co-founded the Utah-based Stampin' Up! paper crafts company - allegedly wooed Bridegan in 2009 with the promise of a luxury from her parent's $100 million business. 'It was like she was saying, 'Look what my lifestyle is like, I can fly you all over, my parents pay for everything,' the friend told Fox.” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10915365/amp/Ex-wife-murdered-Microsoft-exec-spied-bitter-divorce-battle.html |

Yeesh. My life is so calm and quiet. When I read things like this I’m like “who can live with that much drama?”

It reads like a made-for-TV movie. And I bet it will eventually be one.

So much for the big happy religious family facade…… Based on the accused ex-wife's tattoos, I don't think she's religious any longer. At least not in that religion.  |

So much for the big happy religious family facade…… Based on the accused ex-wife's tattoos, I don't think she's religious any longer. At least not in that religion. “They bought another $800,000 house in ritzy Ponte Vedra Beach south of Jacksonville — but the move didn’t save their marriage. Bridegan remained a devout LDS member, while Gardner-Fernandez began straying from her faith, sources said.” This article talks more about their lifestyle, how she wooed him, how they lived off of the family money, etc. www.foxnews.com/us/florida-ex-wife-microsoft-executive-hired-lawyer.amp |

This story is local to me, and I could not believe it when I read it! So sad for their children. :-(

I totally missed this story first time around. Heard about it on the dinner thread today.  So I went google-hunting and found this link (among many others). (1) I wish I’d saved my old SU catalogs so I could go back and look at the family photos they used to include. (2) I see a Dateline in the future. |

If you are on instagram the widow is on there. I feel so bad for her and their children. She also has a foundation to put kits in police cars for kids like her daughter who was in the car when her dad was killed.

Jared's family, especially his brother and his widow, were impressive in that news conference.

scandal and money can go hand in hand. whether you don't have enough money, have too much money, or want to keep your money or want to take someone else's money, scandal can find it's way into the scene.

Shanna Gardner was arrested for 1st degree murder and the State indicated it is going to ask for the death penalty. What a horrible situation.
The owners of Stampin Up issued a statement yesterday.
"Words cannot accurately express the depth of our sadness. Family is our top priority. We love our daughter and are focused on supporting her and our entire family as we help our grandchildren navigate this difficult and very confusing time. For their sake and all involved, we caution against further speculation and request privacy as the legal process runs its course. In the meantime, we are thankful for the continued support, thoughtfulness and prayers being so generously shared by friends and loved ones."

Honestly, this was inevitable. Me and my BFF (an on-again, off-again SU Demo) talked about this at the time. There was no way she wasn't involved in this. And to have killed Jared in front of the child?
SU has a PR nightmare going on right now. If they truly believe she was inocent they would have told her to sit tight and helped her fight in Florida. Instead, they used their money to move her all the way across the country, bought her a home and let her try and hide.
I hope Jared's family ends up with that little girl.

Shana Gardner's folks screwed up raising their daughter, now they get another shot at raising more children?

The little girl that was with him when he was killed is his with his new wife. He had twins with the ex-wife and I would think they would stay with the grandparents. |
