NOTIFICATION --> NO LONGER ACCEPTING ORDERS FOR HAND PAINTED SHOES

WITH EFFECT FROM 7 MARCH 2012 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - CARTOON LAGOON WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANYMORE HAND PAINTED SHOE ORDERS.

A few posts ago, I had written a post called "A New Beginning?"

Some of you may have been confused how writing about having my hand painted shoes copied was a 'new beginning'. But I've been thinking for some time now and I've decided to stop painting shoes. Just to learn that someone was so bold as to copy my photographs, modify them with photoshop and then pass them off as their own, was a trigger that I needed. I've had enough.

My life has been going through changes the past few years and the Life in the Spirit Seminar has changed me forever. I want to please God. It's not easy. I'm very much a human and cliche as it may be, to err is human. But the call and pull of God is strong. I'm looking forward to more time spent with God, just He and I. Not Ministry where there can be too many people, too many mouths, too much gossip, too many bruised egoes. I just want more time for heart to heart talk with my God. A very loving God who has stood by me through thick and thin. I want to be able to infuse Christianity into my life. Out goes the cussing. Whoo hoo. Out goes all the bad habits. Out goes the bad rubbish. It's going to be an uphill climb but hey, we've got to do what we've got to do.

I'm not saying that God doesn't want me to continue painting shoes. I still love painting but perhaps not on shoes anymore. I definitely will still be painting. It's in my blood. Perhaps I will still post random pics of existing stock for sale. I don't know. But I will not be accepting anymore hand painted shoe orders. I want to explore other options. I want to have the time to do other things and sometimes, having to fulfill the shoe orders can limit my schedule.

I've also got a lot of baggage in my life which needs to be thrown out and I'm on a mission to do so.

I want to THANK ALL MY LOYAL CUSTOMERS for their support and patronage over the years. I may be back again. I may not be back. I guess I will still be blogging because I enjoy writing and sharing.

To those vultures waiting to steal my designs (you're probably thinking, woohoo, now that Cartoon Lagoon isn't accepting anymore shoe orders, we can use their designs), think again. My God is great and He loves me. You'd better be afraid. Be very afraid.
