<font color="blue"><font size="5"><b>I'm retiring!</b></font size></font color>

I no longer have the time to dedicate to this board. My son is walking/running all over the place, I have a new Etsy shop that's being neglected, and I'm just too busy to give this thread the attention it deserves.

If you would like to take over for me, send me a PM. I prefer that you send it this way, as the PM goes directly to my email inbox, and I will be less likely to miss your response, since I don't check CO+K very often anymore.

If there are quite a few of you who would like to take over, I'll draw your name from a hat. I'll then send a text file of the opening pages to your email account so you can start a new thread without having to retype all the HTML. ;)

Thanks to everyone for putting up with me...I'm just tired and feel like I'm neglecting my child by checking this site for updates every couple of hours. Hope you all understand!

Dessah, you've done a really great job here, and I hope someone with a bit more time can take over and continue the good work!
Everyone who's a mother will understand completely how you are feeling, and I honestly don't know how you've managed to do so much while looking after a baby, I know I could never have done it when mine were small..you are a "superwoman"
The most valuable thing you can give Ben is your time, so it's the right thing to do.
I hope you can still find some time for crafting, and chatting to us all on the site....but I know you are in for a hectic few years, hectic but happy and rewarding,
I wish you all the best, honey *hugs*

Go enjoy that boy -they grow way too fast !
Thanks for making such a difference to the site.

I'm agreeing with Debs, you've put in place some amazing techniques to help the swapping process. I'm glad you've released yourself from the stress! Have fun watching the little one grow up

Dessah I can't say I blame you, but you have done a wonderful job here, so whoever takes over will be able to with ease with the system you've placed here
