Important announcement

2008-04-01T12:48:33Z

Long time no hear, right?

I'm so terribly sorry I've neglected this group (and the other contests I run). My life has been pretty chaotic lately - I won't go into details (unless you're on my friends list and ask on my personal journal - not that I've been there either!), but I just haven't had time to myself at all.

So, I've finally come on here to let you know that I'm giving the contest to someone who will care for it as it deserves - please let me know if you would like to take it on, before I put it up on an adoption groupn this weekend...

I may be around at some point, but more as a contestant than a mod (though I want to remain a mod for the present), but it won't be for some time yet.

It was fun while it lasted though - for you as well I hope! I hope you can forgive my absence, but there's just been so much going on at home...

Michelle. x

Finally here's the voting. Once again I'm really sorry. Not only was I struck with a nasty bug of some sort, but I think my headache troubles are coming back, and I may have to go back on the awful medication (that killed my spirit completely) that I had to take for over a year a few years ago. :O(

But you don't need to know all that. Basically, if my health affects this comm so badly again I will be getting help rather than having the comm suffer.

(You may have read the above already if you're in another comm of mine...)

I have found it very hard to keep up with contests recently - I'm very sorry. Work and wedding plans seem to have taken over my life, but this should be over soon I hope!

If it gets too difficult I will consider appointing another mod to take over until my stress is lower (or I have a nervous breakdown - one of the two). :O) But in the meantime please bear with me a few more weeks to see if things improve!

Ever so sorry I haven't put voting or winners up yet. :O( I haven't had access to a PC at home the last week. I would put it up now but I'm at work, and have no lunch break left.

But I'm hoping my problems will be over when I get home, or at least at some time over the weekend. So I will get back up to date very shortly. Please bear with me a few more days!

Once again - really sorry! But if you haven't entered or voted, now's the time to do it! :O)
