Semi Retiring

Been Fun!

May 26, 2021 1:24:42 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Where do I start, well, at the first of next year (2022) I'll be semi retired from making Master Skins, meaning, all  of my new skins, will be free after the New Year. I won't give up on skinning, cause I love it too much to give it up.  I've appreciated all the support from the community for supporting me, through purchasing my skins, and now, I'm giving back to you all by my free skins to enjoy, and share with others, again, thank you (Wincustomize Community) for all your support, Duces!

Retiring is good for the soul.  I don't miss Architecture after 46 years...

Skinning, on the other hand...is something I'm still doing....cos that's only about 30 years...

Well, I've been retired from my job (other than 20 years in the Air Force) for four years, so that retirement I'm enjoying, as for skinning, I can't leave that, love it too much!     I've made (money wise) what I want from skinning, now I want to make free ones for the community, for their support for me.

I totally understand Don. I love your skins and have enjoyed making widgets for them!

I'm hoping to semi-retire (in the outside world) next year. I just have to make it though to next May!

Thanks Chuck, I've been retired for about four years now, and enjoy it immensely, good luck with yours.

I purchased several of your premium skins and completely love them, especially your 'steam punk' ones, so I am very glad that you're only semi-retiring and not totally, cos you're work, to me, is nothing short of excellent and I always look forward to your WB's.
