Goodbye for now...BUT...It won't be for forever!

Hello...It is only after much thought and extreme sadness that I write this...and...long overdue...

Unfortunately, my family and I have been going through an extremely difficult time lately and because of everything going on, Stamptacular Sunday Challenge has been put on the back burner for far too long.  It is a huge job running a challenge blog successfully and these last several weeks have been a huge let down, not only to myself, my Design Team and our sponsors but most importantly to all our loyal followers and weekly participants.

With that said, I am so sorry to do this but...FOR NOW...I feel the best thing to do is to put the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge on hold!  My hope is that in a few months, things will have become a bit easier for my family and I and Stamptacular will pick up right where we left off!

I am so sorry to everyone involved but at the moment, this seems to be the best way to handle things so that I don't continue to let everyone down.  I want to do what's right...I hope everyone understands...this is for the best and NOT what I want to do!

ALL winners through the March 31, 2013 challenge will be ensured to get their prizes that have been won!  Because of all the confusion, if you are still waiting on a prize, please resend your e-mails and be sure to put Stamptacular Sunday Challenge WINNER in the subject heading of your e-mail or it will get lost in the SPAM box.

Please keep your eyes open for when the time is right...and...I promise, we will be back!  Hopefully even bigger and better than we have ever been!

Thank you to everyone for your continued support, love, and prayers...they have been truly been appreciated!

God Bless!

I'm so sorry to hear this and I really hope that you and your family are able to get through this time. It is very important to prioritise when things get tough and certainly the challenge should be but on the back burner. I hope to see you back when you are ready and please take care, sending hugs x

It's a heck of a job running a blog and sometimes you just need to put other things first. So, no need to apologise. Thank you for all the pleasure you have given us with your challenges and we look forward to your return, whenever you feel the time is right.

Please don't feel bad about your decision, family is what is important and your first priority. I will certainly miss your fun weekly challenges, but hopefully this is only for a short time and then Stamptacular Sunday will be back...even better than ever! Be sure to let us know when that happens! God bless you. Sending hugs.

I have only recently joined in these challenges but have enjoyed them and appreciate all the work that you and your DT put into each challenge. I wish you well with sorting out your family issues and hope that they are resolved soon. If you do decide to re-commence the challenges, please make sure that you take a good break for yourself first. You deserve it.
