Hello my lovely friends. I have some news to share with you today. Unfortunately, I have come to the decision of stepping down from all of my Design Teams for the time being. :o(
The last few years have been challenging for me because I have been dealing with different health issues. In January of this year, I thought I was finally on the road to recovery... but I was hit with the flu, bronchitis, pneumonia and injuries to my body (due to all of the strenuous coughing). I was on sick leave for a few months and, as a result, my life became chaotic.
As I gradually eased back into my work schedule, I began to feel overwhelmed. I realized that I needed to make a few changes in order to get myself back on track.
It took me a few weeks to contemplate the decision of leaving my Design Teams. I love the companies I have designed for and have become close to many of the wonderful owners. It was not an easy decision to make. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had and the friendships I have been blessed with over the past few years.
Nonetheless, I will still be lingering in the background of a few companies and helping out whenever I can. I will also continue creating during my free time. I have a few Guest Designer reveals in the near future, so I will not be disappearing completely. :o)
I hope you all understand and will continue to stop by whenever you can. Thank you for your support.
xoxo

Natasha,
I hope you are feeling better, I know what it is like to try to overcome Health issues I have had the same this last year and it ALL becomes overwhelming, you have to learn to let some things go around the house......just can't do everything at once.....!!!
I'm Just now getting back to some "NORMAL" again.
I LOVE your work and hope you can get back soon, but YOU MUST take care of YOU first! It is even tougher for you I'm sure as you have two little ones....
Will you be closing your shop on here? I want to order some of Donna's new inx but have had to wait for extra$$!!
I do hope you post now and than so we can stay in touch and see some of your inspiration!
You take care and get Your Health back, first priority!

Natasha - hope you are feeling better soon - Creativity should never feel like a chore or overwhelming - you are much too talented. Taking time for you is the right thing to do. Wishing you lots of light and love in whatever you do - and whenever you do it! :-)
As everyone here has said. Take care of You. Life is too short. I can relate to health issues that keep you down. Your doing the right thing by taking a step back for abit. Doing things one at a time. You are such a talented artist and loved by many. Always know that. Get your health back and hope to see you back soon. Hugs Mary
Take care and get well soon. I will be checking your blog as I love what you do, great inspiration for me. x
I really hope and pray you get completely better! I know it was not an easy decision to make. Take care and I will still visit your blog for inspiration :-)

I`m so sorry that your health hasn`t had the significant recovery you could have wished for. I wish so much for you to get back to your former self. I`m sure all your DT`s will suffer a great loss from not having you as a part of their teams course you are soooo talented. I`m crossing my fingers for you and wishing you all the best, hunni. Big bearhug from Mona
I'm sorry to see you go, but your health and well-being must come first. I'm sure when you are fit and well you'll fit back in where you left off. Thank you for sharing all you have with us, I have learnt a lot from you. Take care and we'll see you back soon.
I just found your beautiful site. It is so hard to leave something that you love. I had to quit working because of health issues, I liked it at first but then got bored so I started trying every craft and found you. Best wishes for a full recovery.
