Hardest Post I've Ever Written


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!

  2. MAJOR BUMMER and loss for us and the stamping community, but we love you Kim and you need to do what is best for YOU! So we will all tell you how much we love you and wish you the best and secretly pray you resume designing and production again once things are settled in your new dream home. BIG HUGS!!
