Artists,

I will not be readily available on the site for a while.

My husband has been battling cancer for 2.5 yrs. and his condition is worsening.

Obviously, he is my #1 priority right now.

As for the contests, I suggest you keep entering them and when/if I can, I will tally all the votes for you.

Or an alternate plan is to choose an artist that ALL trust & PM them your votes to tally.

It is only fair that all of you know why I cannot do all my duties here. I have been stretching it for a while now because I care about all of you.

My time on the site here is 18 yrs. and it holds a very special place in my heart.

Please continue posting your beautiful images & I will continue to enjoy them with same fervor and awe as I did 18 years ago.

With love to all,

mimi
