Hey everyone,

I've been very quiet for the past few weeks - the reason is that our little daughter was born on December 8th. :)

The last three weeks have been exhausting and challenging, but also exciting, full of new impressions, and simply wonderful.

Of course, that shifts your focus a bit, as many of you know better than I do.

But I want to stay active because I love our hobby just as much as you all do. I hope that there will be a cover or two from me in 2026, and I want to remain an active part of the community. Hopefully, I can manage that... :D

I'm already excited to see what amazing covers await us next year! With that in mind, I wish you all a happy new year and see you soon! :cheers:

How wonderful. Congratulations. Children are such a blessing. I remember what it was like to have a newborn, but that was many, many, many years ago. Both my kids are grown.

Happy new year! :cheers:

Congratulations Christian! Make the most of these years, as you only get one chance to make fond memories of her growing up. And it will be some of the best times of your life :) Happy New Year!

Congratulations, Fidi, on your new arrival! :14:

I also have children, and they demand a lot of time. Making covers is my way of relaxing after a stressful day. :yes:

There are also famous people who continue working despite having children. In that spirit...

Congratulations for the baby, first.

Double bottle, double bath, double dinner, double care, double everything... But what a pleasure...
Enjoy it while it lasts, because it goes by fast, very fast... You wake up one day and they're 20 years old...
