Well happy monday morning to me and all my readers. The good news is,
I have been bombarded with design team applicants
I will have lots of time to create new digi's and artwork
Now for the bad news, I was let go this morning from my real job and now might be a stay at home dad for a bit...So be on the look out for new art here reallly soon.
Dustin, I am so sorry to hear that! I will keep your family in my thoughts as adjusting is always the hard part. With that said, in my half-full perspective, I think the timing couldn't have been better. Between your talent, your dragons, and a loyal and growing fan base, something tells me that you will be reassured that everything happens for a reason...
Sorry to hear that, maybe your talents are needed here instead with us ...You have a fast growing fan base and I have a feeling your Rubber/Digi line is really going to take off especially now that you will have time to focus on it more. Things happen for a reason :)
I agree with Joni, Maybe this timing is for the best. Tthe love of your art from so many in the craft world just might make your hobby into your full time job. That said, I'm looking forward to your grand opening --- wish I had the time to try out for your DT but I know you have so many that are just perfect for you. I'm letting all my friends know! I just adore your dragons! Can't wait to see all the good things about to come your way!! **Hugs**
oh I am so sorry to hear that Dustin, but it may work out well for you in the long run as you will have time to really push your stamps and digi downloads, which I'm sure are going to be a huge success.
It's a tough time for everyone at the moment - I'm so sorry about your job.
Dustin, that just plain SUCKS! I know that this is the one door closes another door opens type thing, but that knowledge doesn't pay the bills or keep the knots of of one's stomach!
I'm so sorry to hear that mate. I know only to well how it feels as my hubby was let go 2 months ago and still hasn't been able to get a job. Luckily for me, my work has picked up so I'm ok for now. At least you have something to occupy yourself with and we all get to have some enjoyment from that too. I hope everything sorts itself out for you soon. Sam x
I'm so sorry to read this. So many people are losing their jobs lately. My DH has a chance of losing his in the next couple of months too, but all we can do is wait it out.
Sorry to hear about the job Dustin, hope that you and your family are ok. But it does mean you will be able to put more time and energy into new stamp and art opportunities. All the best Kim
Sorry to hear of your job loss Dustin - I pray that everything works out how you and your family need it to. You've got amazing talent with your stamps, and things really seem to be taking off for you, perhaps this is your destiny. :)
So sorry to hear about your job. My husband lost his job last September.. it is really hard at first but then things seem to get better and you find the reason for the loss. Hopefully your stamps will take over the world and you will become rich and famous!
So sorry to hear about your job loss Dustin. Hopefully with all your new artwork we can fill in some (or all) of your income! I am so impressed with what I've seen I just love it all!
So sorry to hear about your job loss. I hope you can make some decent money doing this! You are awesome, and I will help spread the word about your great art!
So sorry to hear about your job. I am right behind you, I am being laid off May 29th, but at least I was given notice. Good luck with your stamp sales and stay positive!

Sorry to hear about your job.Look at the bright side, you can spend some quality time with your kids and you get to make money doing something you love.You are very talented & I know it's scary to be out of work but I think your new stamps & drawings will bring in income for you.

Hi, New to your site. I love dragons! Looking forward to getting some of your stamps :). I love scrapbooking and my kids are going to want your stamps too. I'm printing out some of your freebie dragons so they can colour them. Thanks for that :) As for your job, sorry to hear about it, but I'm sure its a blessing. Now you can get your buisness off and running. There's probably a few thousand of us right now that are just finding out about you and wanting your stamps for cards and scrapbooking. Good luck :)
