Today, we're beginning CASology Challenge #408, the final challenge.</p><p>I can honestly say the decision to discontinue CASology was <i>not</i> an easy one and I found myself going back and forth, struggling with the thought of not taking it into another new year. While it makes me a bit sad thinking of all the wonderful years we've shared here at CASology, my heart is telling me it's time to let it go and lean more fully into other parts of my life. As we all know, our lives evolve and change with time and experiences along life's journey and the last couple of years, especially, have brought a lot of change into my own. We all have a personal plate filled with responsibilities and things we choose to take on. Lately, I have loved the quote that says, "You can do it all, just not all at once." and it has been a guide to many of my personal decisions as of late. I have thoroughly enjoyed the years spent here at CASology and feel those years were not wasted. Here, I have had the privilege of forming friendships with fellow card makers, watched clean and simple creativity flourish and felt honored to be a part of a community of such supportive, caring individuals. Please know that I will forever be thankful to you for taking the time to play along with us and support CASology over the last ten years. Who knew a little idea would take off and turn into such a fun experience?!</p><p>I hope you will all continue to connect and support fellow card makers and card making challenges. Clean and simple design will continue to be my go-to style as I focus more of my time, energy and effort into new responsibilities and building a dream of mine over at <a href="https://inkedregards.com/" target="_blank">Inked Regards</a>.</p><p>I hope you'll join us for one last challenge this month to help us celebrate the last 10 amazing years! The design team would love to hear from you as we all say farewell. If you have time, please be sure and stop by their blogs and leave a little farewell love!</p><p>With gratitude,</p><p>Melissa</p><p><br /></p><p>For our final cue word, we're focusing on all things associated with cozy. Autumn has arrived here and winter will follow. All the cooler day things are slowly being reintroduced and we'd love to fill the gallery with that cozy feeling too!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDrplS4rTeaeI8xKJRynBAyAWFjMUa-3vCRz8aq4ZbXhcON929msIGKKBCK-d3WHXdkz2wvDC_KE5c3BNes15x67ZyLjJ7X_XhKZN6DEMZ9UtVBDvwuxrTkm6SUvD0H9Vm02oYHTczmqJXLDQgqz-KZKIrK6l-rZgjS8KLuOC_pcRiWFvUOxwP0XBkjg/s500/Week%20408%20-%20Cozy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;
