Hi friends!
I have been dreading this post more than anything
and wracking my brain to try to come up with
another solution, but it has all ended at the same conclusion.
I need to make some big changes in my life!
Here they are:
1. We will be no longer hosting challenges. :(
2. All of our current sets will remain in stock but
Wilson Designs Stamps won't be releasing any new sets,
atleast for now.
I know this is all going to come as a big surprise to you guys,
but so much has changed in my life since I started
the challenges and WD.
Without going too much into my personal life,
our house process is taking longer than expected
and we have a lot of renovations we want finished before moving in.
It is going to require a lot of time that I just dont have right now.
As a designer, I feel like sometimes
we have to put deadlines above family time
and I am not willing to make that choice anymore.
My family is the most important thing to me
and everything I do is for them!
I hope that you guys can understand where I am
coming from and I am looking forward to your feedback!
Thank you all for being so fabulous in our
challenges and also as customers!
A winner of the current challenge will still be drawn
but this will be our very last challenge, so hurry and get your entries in!
Big hugs!
