Cardmaker on Sabbatical

This is an unnecessary posting, but I'll do it anyway. I have only been making cards as gifts for friends and family, but I wanted to leave a note to say that my handmade cards will be temporarily unavailable to order, as my writing has been keeping me quite busy (as have my 2 little ones under the age of 3 1/2 yrs.).
