:: Throwin’ in the Towel! ::

Due to time constraints and spending more time with Jordan since this is her last Summer before starting school, I have come to the realization that I just can’t do it all anymore. So, I have decided to step down from The Digi Chick. I really will miss being a “Chick”, but I just can’t keep if with things anymore. But there is some good news - I’m having a “Throwing in the Towel” sale! Starting tomorrow you can pick up all my designs at The Digi Chick for 50% Off! The sale ends Sunday night at midnight EST. I have almost 80 items in the store, so there’s plenty to choose from.

::::::::::::::::::::

I also have a sampler freebie today! It’s been a while hasn’t it? LOL! This is a little sampler of my Essentials of Summer collection.

THIS DOWNLOAD IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

HERE is the download link. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY LINKS WITH OTHERS OR IN YAHOO GROUPS. DON’T SUPPORT PIRACY! See - it’s on every post for a freebie! Have a wonderful day! Please leave me some love if you download the freebie!

Being a newbie to the digiscrap world, I don’t know if this means you are quitting designing altogether, or just being at that one shop and providing new stuff there periodically.

Let me say thank you for your time that you have put in, and especially for the freebies!

Traci… I never could figure out how you had time to do everything that you do!!! I could never keep up your pace. Kids grow up so fast that you need to spend quality time with them, when you can.
Thanks for the freebies you offer here, they have been a god-send to me!! Thanks again and have a great week..

Hi Traci - I often wondered how you had the energy to accomplish all that you did. I also agree that family comes first! Jordan will be little for only a short time so enjoy every minute because they grow waaaaaaay too fast [My son will turn 26 this year and I still wonder where the time has gone and I worked from home and was able to make my own hours, etc.]

Many thanks for today’s wonderful gift and I always enjoy your layouts and photos. I know you can always be found here and at YDD, right?! Sending you big (((hugs))) for all your generous goodies and wonderful designs and hope you will thoroughly enjoy your Summer with the family!!!

Thanks for the sampler, Traci. I never could see how any of you Designers could do all you do and still have any time left for family, but you always seem to have pictures to prove you do. Enjoy your time with Jordan while you can. It doesn’t last long. See you at the sale.

Thank you for the sampler. Really nice!

Really glad you and Jordan and your MIL are enjoying your getaway time together.

Time does pass too quickly. Seems like when you have a child, it goes by even faster. I think it is great that Jordan is a priority in your life. May this summer be one full of fun memories for you and Jordan.

You know…you shouldn’t feel that you “have” to do everything. You should do what “feels good” and what “feels right”. Spending more time with family is always right isn’t it Time doesn’t care how busy you are, it will go by quickly regardless. I think you’ve made a wonderful choice and all of you will thrive from it even moreso than now Traci. Have a lovely weekend. and thank you for the sweet sampler xoxo
