Did you read today’s post over at lily pad cards?
Today is the last day of lily pad cards… sad I know!
It was a successful challenge blog made with love by Deborah and me and we had so many happy days while it was running! I met so many talented and sweet ladies through that blog and got the chance to work with the best design team out there! Love you ladies!
But have you ever been to a point in your life when 24 hours in the day are simply not enough? Being a full-time teacher, a wife and a mother of two kids (aged 4 and 6) takes almost all of my time. Then I try to craft at night, after the kids go to bed. But then again there is Inlinkz, which is growing day by day and I am helping out as much as I can.
I guess you understand why I had to cut out on something…
But, I will continue to post my cards and weekly videos here! It was about time to pay some more attention to my personal blog… it has been neglected for a year now. So make sure you subsribe here and to my personal youtube channel.
It is a sad day today but I am happy with my disision, it was something I had to do.
I will be back on Sunday with a new how-to video, and a giveaway… so stay tuned!
That IS very sad news! I am glad we will still get to drool over your talent on the youtube channel and your personal blog. Thanks for sharing your creativity with everyone. It sounds like it was a hard decision for you.
Vicky,
The news really shocked me this morning and saddened me also. I’m so glad though, we’ll still be able to enjoy your weekly videos–I’m a HUGE fan of them!!!! 😀 Blessings!!! (:
Love you, Vicky . . . .
I’ve enjoyed following Lily Pad Cards since day 1, and although I was taken by surprise at this morning’s news, I can definitely understand.
I am so glad to hear you’ll still be doing your very inspiring videos, and I’ll continue to follow yours & Deborah’s individual blogs 🙂
This is indeed sad 🙁 I really enjoyed that blog, but I had a sense somehow that it might be going. Well, I completely understand and support your decision, and of course will never stop following you!! I can barely find the time to make a card here or there, can’t imagine what your life must be like!!!!! I’m very glad you’ll still be doing videos 🙂 HUGS!!!!!!!
So sad to see Lily Pad Cards go, but so understand! I never knew how you did it teaching full time and with a young family, and with your successful Inlinkz program. I’m glad to hear you will be keeping the videos here on your blog. Those have to take a lot of time, I’m sure. Blessings to you and your family!
This is sooooo sad! It was one of my favorite sites! But I do understand…I homeschool my kids and have found crafting at night to be really difficult. Glad we still get to enjoy your creativity and videos, though…
Enjoy the added family time! 🙂
Oh what sad news! But I am pleased you are continuing with your great Sunday videos that I always look forward to over a cup of coffee and the music is so catchy and happy. I have subscribed to your YT channel to make sure I don’t miss anything.
Βίκυ μου καταλαβαίνω απόλυτα τί εννοείς… δουλειά, σπίτι, παιδιά, cardmaking/bloging …
είσαι άνθρωπος που θέλεις να έχει αξιόλογο αποτέλεσμα οτι κάνεις γι’αυτό αν και λυπάμαι που αναγκάζεσαι να “κλείσεις” κάτι τόσο αγαπημένο σου χαίρομαι που θα διατηρήσεις το blog σου και τα εβδομαδιαία βίντεό σου. Εξ άλλου μέσα απο αυτά σε γνώρισα και έμαθα τόσα μα τόσα πολλά!! Σε φιλώ εκφράζοντας την σκέψη πως ειμαι βέβαιη ,οταν σου δοθεί η κατάλληλη στιγμή, θα ξεκινήσεις κάτι ακόμα πιο όμορφο 😉
I am glad to hear you will be keeping the Sunday vidoes, I love them so much. I can’t believe you have a full time job. I can hardly keep up with reading blogs let alone craft and make vidoes – you really are a super women.
Some decisions become very clear and it sounds like you are doing the best thing for you and your family! Selfishly, we will miss the Lily Pad, but support your need to make your life more manageable! Blessings!
Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear this!! I do understand though. It takes a lot of time to just maintain a blog!!
You have so many FANS out here( me included)! You are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, Vicky! I am so glad that you will continue to inspire us with your super fun and creative videos! It’s been a great journey with you over Lily Pad! I am so blessed and proud to call you my friend! HUGS!
I am a huge Lily Pad fan Vicky!!! but knowing that you and Deborah will be active n sharing on your own blogs is exciting. Alwayys admire your creations and videos….looking forward:)
It was sad, but very understandable…..you need to spread your wings! I am just tickled that you plan to continue so much here on your blog……my Sunday morning video-watching has become a special tradition. Love all you do – thanks from the bottom of my heart.
hi vicky! no, i hadn’t learned the news until i just saw the update on my youtube subscriptions… but no worries! you are an inspiration and i am tickled pink that you will continue to do your videos here through your youtube channel and blog. being a wife and mom is a lot… and sometimes you have to switch hats half-way through, if you know what i mean! i am so proud of all you’ve done and am blessed to have you as a teacher since i found you as soon as i started making cards and doing inking. thanks for sharing your creativity with us – and God bless you as you live your life. thanks for continuing to share it with us! hugs!
I’m really not sure how you do it all! Even with the closing of the pond. I am sad to see you go but happy that you have so much going for you!
HI Vicky, I can bet this was tough decision but, I am glad that you are able to put your family and yourself first. You are an amazing woman and I am blessed to call you a friend. Hugs, Kathy xxo
I am sad to see it go! : Sending you smiles!
This makes me sad. I love Lily Pad cards. :(. I guess there is a season for everything though.
Very sad news but glad we can still enjoy your creativity on YouTube!
Sad news indeed Vicky… but so happy that you will continue to inspire us! Looking forward to your videos and amazing inspiration…
