Hello hello everyone! I hope the last week before the big day is treating you well.

If you’ve already read the Sweet Shoppe newsletter, you’ve probably seen my big announcement but I wanted to tell you myself as well and share a little more about why I’m making this decision. Changes are afoot here at Nettio Designs and while it may not seem like it on the surface, it’s actually a really good thing!

Since I’m pretty sure there’s no good way to sugarcoat this, I’m going to take the bandaid approach and just go for here, so here goes:

I’ve made the decision to step down from Sweet Shoppe Designs and retire as a template designer.

Now before you panic too much, hehe, I am NOT retiring from scrapbooking nor will I be retiring from having a digi business. I’m simply shifting my focus away from templates and product design toward something I believe will not only be a better fit for me and my strengths but also provide much more value you for you too. I’m not quite ready to spill the beans on my plans just yet – you’ll have to wait until the new year for that – but I can say, if you’re a fan my work and my approach to scrapbooking, I think you’re going to be excited about what I’ve got planned.

In all honesty, this was a tough decision for me and definitely not one made lightly! I love the Sweet Shoppe and am so proud and honored to have called it my digi home for the past six years. But I’m not superwoman and sometimes you have to be willing to close one door in order to have room to open another.
