As some of you know from my Facebook post,
I have finally retired from making personalised cards.
I have been doing it for just over 25 years now and did attempt
to retire when I turned 60 but stupidly did cards for some friends
who happily spread the word and I was right back
where I started.
So this year has been tough keeping up with them all and I think
when I took sick I had enough time to make the decision to quit.
I have since turned away 16 different orders even though they
know I have retired🙈
So I have about a week of orders to finish then that's me
FREE AS A BIRD.
I intend to spend more time on my Stampin' Up! and just
enjoying my crafty time with no pressure!
So today I have another card I made for my
VIP Group.
It uses a few scraps but is mostly CAS.
I have used a new bundle called Darling Details.
I would like to enter this into
A beautiful CAS design,that on a closer look appears really intricate,love it,hope you're feeling much better
ReplyDeleteI fully back your decision to pack it in Pinky, it can all become too much and its not a pleasure anymore, well done, its not an easy thing to do. Just so long as we see you in blogland still thats fine by me :))
ReplyDeleteI love todays card, its really pretty.xx
I think you've made a very wise decision- you deserve some time to relax and enjoy your crafting without the pressure.
ReplyDeleteYour card today is delightful- so pretty!
xx
I do agree when it oversteps the enjoyable hobby line to becoming a chore-time to cut down or stop.Hope you are now feeling better too.Beautiful card love the use of scraps and pretty borders with the threaded card

I hope you can keep to your promise to yourself. I did similar years ago, and it was hard saying no, but so worthwhile in the end. I LOVE this beautiful card.
