Blogger templates are not my 3rd child and it's time I stopped acting that way.

Hi everyone,

This post has probably been a few months in the making (hey, it's been a crazy time for me lately - I don't advise anyone to have two babies at once, ever! - unless of course you have someone to help you 24hrs a day and possibly a billion dollars).

So yeah... I have decided, after thinking about it for a while, that acornglue.com is going to shut down for a long while. Not forever. I don't know how long.


WHY?

Because my family is #1. They will always be #1.
The internet is not even in the top #10 for me any more and I feel like I have had things in kind of the wrong order.

I do not have the time to invest in internet blogger things that I once had - ahhh 2007, how I miss thee. I have barely had any time online lately. In fact I have barely had time to have a shower for the last few months. My life is insane!

It's true that I still post the odd yummylolly.com template but that is a way of unwinding for me and it's just about putting something out there and if people like it then they'll use it and no big deal if they don't. It also takes a lot less time to do.

acornglue.com is a lot more pressure and I don't have time to make custom/customised/one-of-a-kind things anymore. I just can't ignore that fact that my time now belongs to two young men called George & Julius. Not to me. Or you.

I hope you understand.


"mum, stop doing computer and come and play with us"

If I have made you a template in the past then you know my email address. I will of course help with any technical things that may come up. Of course I will not be cancelling my hosting so no need to worry about any of your images disappearing. That's staying put I promise!

If you do email me, please be patient about hearing back from me because I'm not going to be checking it all the time.

I have no idea when I'm going to come back but if you want to get an email when I'm back - not that I'm going to be back soon - then please subscribe to the email thingy on the left there.

I feel like a bit of a jackass but thinking about spending time online when my babies need me more makes me feel like an even bigger jackass.

This is all coming from a good place and I hope you understand.

PS: I am on twitter (twitter.com/myfirstnamehere) and my personal blog where I basically complain about lack of sleep and babies and stuff. Feel free to visit me there but be warned: it's not very exciting.

PPS: I love designing blogger templates so rest assured I will be back when time allows it.
