Twilight Tuesday » “And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.”

“And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.”

Wasn’t that the perfect vision for the end of Breaking Dawn and the whole Twilight Saga? It wraps things up in a very nice way, huh? Well, my friends, it’s also time for Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge to wrap it up and shut the doors, too. Like an extremely good book, it’s hard to get to the end. It’s bittersweet. If you drag it on…it’ll ruin itself. Even still, it’s hard to let go.

We have had a wonderful time during our year and a half and I cannot ever begin to express my love for the friends I’ve made, the readers I’ve met, the projects I’ve seen…This has truly been a remarkable ride! It has never failed to amaze me how talented our participants are! And the friends on the forum!!! You ladies ROCK! Honestly, that might be a highly overused statement, but it’s the truth! You ladies really do rock!

I have to tell you this is a sad time for most of us on the team. There are many who might wonder why, why, why? And the simple truth is…it’s just time. Our challenge has been extremely specific to the Twilight saga and the end is drawing near.

Luckily for you, there has been an explosion of challenge blogs that cover all sorts of themes. There are so many great challenges out there and it’s so much fun to try new ones and old favorites. But, it’s also time-consuming and I think that this is an issue that many of us are afraid to talk about. Competing to get on design teams, win challenges, participate in multiple challenges—it all becomes a full time job! Last week, Jamie wrote this awesome post about it all. I feel what Jamie is talking about and she really nailed it well.

So! We’ll be doing two more Tuesday challenges and will end on February 16th. On that day, we’ll do a final blog hop among our design team and give away some prizes. So please, come celebrate with us!

Spread the Twilight love...

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I’m so sad But I understand, I felt the same way about teaching classes it consumes you and becomes to much and sometimes not as fun.. I hope everyone on the design team has a great New Year.. This was a fun ride, but all good things must come to an end. Thank you for creating such a unique space for all of us Twilight fanatics to share our love!

I understand. I’m very sad, but I understand. Will the forum still be accessible after the challenges are all done?

Oh ladies, I just found you and now you’re leaving me? I feel like Bella when Edward left her in the woods…take me with you! LOL! I get it though, real life comes before blogland. I’m going to miss coming here. I hope that everyone has some great adventures in 2010.
