Hello girls.
I guess I have some news to share with you today.
After much thought I have decided to retire from the active designing for the stores.
I have been weighing my options for some time now and this seems like the best decision for me.
I am very excited about many projects going on in my life right now and designing for 20+ hours a week in the evening was just taking way too much of my energy. I don't think I will stop designing entirely, but not participating in any store will give me the freedom to do it at my own pace.
I am excited to do much more scrapbooking and photography. I'd like to share these projects with you here on my blog or at the forums where most of you know me from.
I am also planning on guesting at some new stores for a limited time once in a while, but it will be after some much needed break.
As I was setting my retirement sale I have also learned just hours ago that Inspiration Lane store will be closing on a very short notice, due to the arrangement with their host. I hate giving you such a short notice for getting to my discounted products at this store, but this really was the best I could do. Luckily, my store at ACOT will be open till the end of Feb, so that should give you more time.
And finally just to say thank you for sticking with my on this journey, here is a little freebie for you. Hopefully I will be able to surprise you with some more in the future.

Thank you very much for the kit - your designs are lovely and I do hope you continue with them - but I understand the need for a slower pace!! All the best!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave in the DigiFree category today [02 Feb 12:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Renate that's really sad news but I can so relate to it...I've hardly been doing much designing myself as life has been way too busy and I just haven't had the time to dedicate to it...so sorry I've been slack with staying in touch as well...things are a tad nightmarish here in OZ...we've had bushfires, massive floods and now a category 5 cyclone is due to hit Far North Queensland later tonight(state where I live but we are not in it's pathway). So glad you are not going to disappear altogether...take care...hugs, Vicki xx
