This is a hard post to write. After nearly a year of fun, laughs, joy and tears with these crazy girls, I have decided to step down from my DT Spot at Midnight Madness. I LOVE (yes, Linda...I used YOUR "L" word!!) this group and what it is all about. That's what makes it so hard to leave. However, my husbands business has taken off like crazy (as well as my own store...such a blessing!!) and either we need to hire someone to help him or I need to take a few classes so I can help him. It only makes sense for us and our current situation for me to take the classes and do what I can to help. :) I am actually starting my class this morning. Boy, I hope this post posts properly!! My sister in law is taking the class with me so we should be sitting in front of our computers looking all studious right about now. Me...studious? LOL! I made myself laugh on that one. :)
These girls mean the world to me, so I only felt it fitting to make and dedicate my last MM card to all of them! Hey Linda...even one word in there for you. Can you find it???? I tried to write a word for each of them. Plus a few others. Luckily I wasn't thinking of the Monster Mash video when I came up with the words. LOL!So for the last time...
Congratulations to our WINNERS this week! Our weekly and monthly sponsor is BOTH our Midnight Madness Mistress... priscillastyles. Check out her new store for her envelope kits and digi's!
Thank you to each and everyone of the Midnight Madness girls. Each of you has a special spot in my heart and always will. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this group and sharing your lives with me as well as allowing me to share mine with you. You are all true, sincere friends. Hugs and Blessings to you all.

It's been SO wonderful taking this adventure with you on the Midnight Madness Team! It's hard to believe we all started this nearly a year ago! Where does the time go? I hate to see you leave the team but I'm also so happy for you that yours AND your husband's businesses are taking flight. A bright future lies ahead for you and I'll still be cheering you on all the way! :) Michelle

Oh Sue, I have been putting off stopping by here long enough...I just know by the time I finish writing this comment post I will be viewing it out big puddly eyes. You have been such a joy to know and boy do we go way back. I know you will not be far and we will be checking in often with each other, but it is still not the same. The daily banter was so fun with you involved and you will truly be missed. Your card this week is so perfect and you always have a way of doing just the right thing at just the right time. Thank you thank you thank you for being my friend :) Ok..it is getting a little fuzzy now.. so maybe I should end with a catch ya later my friend.

Sue, I had tears in my eyes the first time I saw your card...you have managed to produce something that is so special and such a personal touch to the DT sisters. You have made such incredible strides with your store this year and you will continue to be a success. I wish you and your hubby all the best for your future endeavors and know that I will keep checking up on all the things you will be doing. It has been such a wonderful experience getting to know you and working along side you! I will miss seeing you each week on the DT but look forward to seeing you play along!
