A bitter sweet farewell...

Hello friends!!  Today, the Lollipop Crafts Challenge Blog team come to bid you a very bitter sweet, Good Bye and a heart felt THANK YOU!!!

The fans and readers have surely kept us on our crafty toes the past 2 years and we thank each and every one of you for supporting us in and out!  The time has come to the decision of closing Lollipop Crafts doors...  Bitter sweet and sad as we have all agreed upon, but there are more time sensitive things in life every one of us have to fulfill...

The decision doesn't come lightly and we budged to weigh in all factors, and the reality of it was we just needed to bid farewell...

So, in closing, THANK YOU ALL for the endless support, the fun times, the wonderful creations and just coming by to say hi!!

To my team, Alanna, Tammy, Leanne, Mimi, Juelmarie, Cyndi, Dena, Sony and Joanna and our past designers and guest designers...  THANK YOU ALL for the endless support, hard work, lovely creations, and the forever friendship you have shared with me and each other!!!  It was an honor to work with all of you and i hold all of you dear and near to my heart!!  Thank you for stepping in while i was away and counting on each other to get things done!!! 

Although we won't be posting on this blog, we will leave it up so you may continue to step back in time and get creative ideas for your next projects...  The team has thrown out lots of beautiful and inspiring creations so take the time to go and view them...  Use this blog as a resource...

On behalf of my FANTABULOUS team and myself, we shout out another sincere THANK YOU and bid you all Farewell....
