Some of you have likely received an email from me entitled “The Last Email!”

Don’t worry – I’m still here, I’m just doing away with Mailchimp as a service. It’s been a lovely way to keep in touch with everyone, but as the cost of everything associated with running my little online service here is increasing, I need to be practical about what I keep.

Just a little glimpse behind the curtain, did you know that when I started using Mailchimp in 2012, it was free? For years I was paying $10 / month, which was great! But I’ve been paying $40 a month (USD) for quite some time and that really adds up across the year. I may only offer a special once or twice a year, so for practical reasons, it’s best to just let the email service go.

I did have to increase my session fee again a bit this year, which I haven’t done in a couple of years, because the cost of things I can’t let go of are all increasing too. But! I will continue to post specials on this blog, and if you’d like an email every time I post a discount, all you have to do is:

Look to your right. (If you’re on a mobile device, you might need to scroll to the bottom of the page)

Scroll down until you see this:

Pop your email address in, and that’s it! You’ll be emailed every time I post here.

Thanks so much for helping me out during this transition, and please keep in touch!
