It has been a busy month and I meant to post this a long time ago. The end of the month snuck up on me though. I am going to be retiring, sort of. Life has just gotten so busy that I can't keep up with everything. I can't find time to design much and the stress of having to get a certain number of products in the stores each month, plus collaborative kits for each site was too much for me. I didn't have any time with my family and I didn't like that. I am having a huge sale at each of my stores. Everything is 50% off at Scraphead, Scrapper's Zone and Studio Style Designs. You can find the link in my side bar.
I will be staying on at Groovy Scraps to do some charity kits and their monthly collaborative kits. I doubt I will put anything in the store. If I decide to design anything, I will give it away for free on my blog.
Thanks to all of you who have bought my products and downloaded my freebies. My family is the most important thing to me and it is very important that I have time with them. I made a go at digital designing when I couldn't work and my family really needed the money. I was blessed to get on in several stores very quickly. I did not make the kind of money I had hoped to, but I really enjoyed the process. It gave me something even more important. I needed some sort of distraction during a very difficult time in my life and designing provided that for me. As I was typing, that came to me-an epiphany as to why I was getting accepted to all of these stores. I think that distraction was the most important thing for me during that time. Things are much better now. I feel better, I have an answer as to what is wrong with me and I have a treatment plan to help some. Having MS has brought many blessing to me. I never thought such a horrible disease could bring so many blessings.
Speaking of MS, I will have a charity kit for the National MS Society in stores soon. It is a collaborative kit by some of the designers at Groovy Scraps. As soon as it is in the store, I will post about it.
So, take advantage of my retirement sales for the rest of the week. I hope you find some great deals and find something you like.

The charity kit sounds like such a wonderful thing to do. Good luck with all.
it is hard to balance everything, and glad you have found your balance.
Sorry to hear of your retirement - I'll wish for you some time to find your creativity.
What a wonderful thing to do, making a kit for charity. SO rewarding, not in a monetary way to yourself. Sometimes GIVING makes you richer in a way money never can.
Thanks for sharing. Visiting from the DST blog train.
