We have had some challenges behind the scenes, and blog owner Melanie is welcoming a new bundle of joy in mid May.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have always been a blog that believes in family first. We all know that "life happens" sometimes it is all good, but we also have bad/sad/tough/etc times. So, in order for those of us, behind the scenes we need this time to get back on track in our "real" lives. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We would once again like to thank our Design Team, sponsors, and challenge participants for supporting our blog over the last few years and we hope to see each and everyone of you back at the end of summer!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">We here at the Critter Sketch Challenge blog are sad to announce will be our last challenge for a while. We aren't going away forever, but we are taking a break. We have had a few unforeseen circumstances, plus blog owner Melanie is due to give birth to her third baby in just a couple of weeks, so we have decided that now would be a good time for all of us behind the scenes to take a little break.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">We want to thank our Design Team who have given us some amazing creations, our sponsors, who have allowed us to offer such awesome prizes and of course to our followers and challenge goers... you have all been amazing and we are very grateful for each and every one of you.</span></span></div>

Unfortunately it seems like we need some new equipment as our internet cuts out about every minute or so.<br />
<br />
I will get this updated just as soon as possible - I am on the West Coast - and it is a holiday in our province (Monday) - so it may not be until later in the day.<br />
<br />
I apologize to our Sponsor as well as our readers if this blog post is not correct/missing things... I have had difficulty downloading and then re-uploading images... I'm having trouble creating links...<br />
<br />
It is now 1:04 am... I just have to hope this posts as is and I will correct any issues as soon as I can get to another computer.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your patience.<br />
<br />
Moira<br />
