I know from experience the amount of work entailed in running a challenge blog, and also what a difficult decision is must have been for you... I felt something similar I'm sure, when I handed over "Less Is More" to others.<br />Thanks you SO much for all the inspiration, and hard work to all the designers and administrators. It has been a genuine pleasure to join in with the challenges.<br />You will be sorely missed!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155624052405745793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620821010236365249.post-10165302785800255012021-01-14T17:32:59.831-05:002021-01-14T17:32:59.831-05:00Thank you so much for all the inspiration over the...Thank you so much for all the inspiration over the years. This is my all time favorite sketch challenge, and sketch is my favorite type of challenge. I am so sorry to see it go, but I totally understand that family comes first. I hope that perhaps you will come back to it at some time (maybe you will miss us as much as we miss you???). I wonder if you considered bringing in someone to try to fill your very large and talented shoes? All the best, and thanks so much...JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628064051832366762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620821010236365249.post-746552339994953372021-01-14T16:42:33.295-05:002021-01-14T16:42:33.295-05:00This is so sad to me, but so understandable and I ...This is so sad to me, but so understandable and I wish you the best!

Time passes so quickly, so it is wise to want to devote as much time as possible to your family. Yet, because time passes so quickly, it is my hope that you will want to resurrect CTS after the kids are grown. CTS is a favorite challenge of mine and I know I will return to your past sketches again and again in the future. Enjoy these next precious years!!
