Deviant ID winner + Annejulie's leaving

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 5, 2008, 10:35 AM

This is just a little end, and another start

Well, approximatively one year after the creation of this awesome group, I wanted to announce that it's time for me to leave. The reason is mainly a question of time, I really have a lot of work. I can't thank enough all the great people who make this group so alive and so special. All the members (and we're 387!), everyone. I started to manage this all by myself, it quickly became difficult, so I asked for some help to the great =Pocket-Zoo and she's now one of the mainstay of this place. As I leave, she'll need to found someone else to help her with the management of the group. Soon, you'll hear about this new person, and I'm sure it will be someone great!

Thank you for all the great moments I have lived here, I won't forget you

I'm still active in the community, on my personal account only.

This is my last journal and my last words in this group..
LOVE

I'll miss you.. sincerely very much.
