We all live and learn and this has helped you learn a bit more about yourself and what's important to you. Your talent will be missed...your stamps are gorgeous...but sometime way in the future, when your little ones have grown up, you can still go back to it if inspiration hits. You won't lose it and there's no point doing something if it isn't giving you pleasure! Much love and big hugs to you and your family. I'll be waiting to see photos of your little pink bundle :) xxxLynne Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993381932042439206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799596242559543134.post-59230465137344580932013-10-10T00:47:00.519+01:002013-10-10T00:47:00.519+01:00Sad but happy news all at the same time!

As a Mom, I truly understand your decision about Pollycraft, but deep down, it breaks my heart, because your work is so fantastic and I will miss it terribly! I wish you and your family the very best and now that my kids are in college, I will give you these words of advice: They grow up WAY TOO QUICK, so I am smiling for you and to let you know you are doing the right thing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, and I look forward to hearing all about the baby when she arrives!

Time to enjoy them is huge. I wish you all the best. Remember that on the other end, in just a few SHORT years they'll be independent and your life will be your own again (it has been an amazing discovery for me!) and there'll be plenty of time for Pollycraft or whatever you want to do at that point. Good luck with all!
