How do I say this???

I have no idea how to break the news but you might have noticed that Darla posted a flyer about a sale of 60% Off of my goodies at the boutique? Well I have made a very hard and very sad descision last week. I have decided to give up designing for the time being and as such decided to resign from the Digichick. It was such a hard and difficult descision for me to make my heart is literally breaking in bits, I have ever since I started out Designing wanted to be a chickie and I was so priviliged to have been on this team for nearly a year. Wow time does fly. I just want to say Thank you to Laura and the Girls here on the team...you are one AMAZING bunch of talented ladies, and I want to say THANK YOU so much to all my loyal supporters and all of you that make this site so special. I will not be disapearing from the radar though and will still be checking in here. I mean this is just the best place to be!
