Several months ago, I had a very
serious health scare.
Or, as I call it -
God's Wake-up Call.
I answered on the first ring!
I put my real estate company up for sale,
and made the decision to pursue
a "job" that makes me happy,
fulfills my creative spirit...and hopefully
will be less stressful and physically
harmful to my well-being.
I decided to become a full-time Blogger.
In the next few weeks, I will start that
transition as I prepare to close the doors
to my real estate company.
(and just in time for another serious health scare, I might add) :(
The other major endeavor I put in
place was to open an
Online Retail Store.
My super-duper, ultra-patient and
talented website designer has been feverishly
working behind the scenes to get me up and
running. My thanks goes out to Shari
Because, I am beyond thrilled to say that I am -
Open for Business!
I will be adding more and more items as
we go along. I am really looking
forward to adding some of my
vintage Euro treasures!
To celebrate my opening, I am
giving away this cute
Metal Bucket with Burlap Tag.
You have four ways to win.
Just come back here and post each time
you do one of the following:

announced this Friday!

ReplyDeleteBarbara, I got that call last year. Glad to know that you made it through and are doing something wonderful with the extra time you were given. I wish you well in this endeavor !
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower. Found you through Marty's blog -- Stroll Thru Life.
Do you have to be a blogger to enter your giveaway ? I only have an occasional blog that I use only when we go on vacation to let everyone at home know where we are. I'm sorry that it's not the type to interact with yours.
