I'm copping out. I haven't been keeping up, my message centre is out of control, my subscription has lapsed, and there's just no way I'm going to be able to catch up. I'm sure I have comments to reply to that are over a year old by now.

So I'm afraid the only thing to do is to clear my message centre and devwatch out and start over. I feel really crappy about it because I used to be so good at keeping up, returning visits and leaving lots of comments, but I just don't have time anymore.

I've resubscribed, and I intend to start submitting photos again soon. The nature of my submissions is likely to be very, very different, as my interest has completely shifted since becoming a mum, but I hope some of my watchers will still be interested.

In the meantime, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the comments, favs and watches. I appreciate your interest and support very, very much, and I apologise that at this time I can't return your visits and kind words.

I've actually been playing with Flickr because I'm using it to host images for my blog, but I just can't seem to be able to get into the spirit over there. I guess I'm a dA girl at heart.

What's been going on with me? Well, I'm very busy being a mum to my almost ten month old baby boy. I've also begun portfolio building with the goal of becoming a professional portrait photographer some day in the not too distant future. I've been blogging, I'm working on a couple of business ideas, including rebranding my jewellery label, and I'm due to return to my 'real' job in July, but only for two days a week. Life never stands still!
