In The Beginning

I had originally planned to create a web page for our family that was a part of my online business but after 8 years of selling dresses I've decided to put all of that to rest--finally. The website was the very last remnant of the bridal shop and I have clung to it......not willing or able to give it up. Not ready to REALLY accept the fact that the store is gone. Then it hit me. I finally realized that my family needs me and you know what? I need them too! I miss them!! For the past 8 years I have not devoted my full attention to my family because there was always an email or a customer or an order to box up and ship out. Enough is enough. Maybe later when the kids are grown and gone, I'll start up again but for now I'm on my way to being officially closed.

Key words being "on my way". I tried to cancel my web hosting account to take the website down and they immediately offered twice the service for half the price......I may leave it up for a while just to see what happens in the spring. I really hate to throw away something I've worked so hard at for so long. If it starts to make money again, it might be a way to try to finally SAVE some money? Imagine that....money in savings? I'll do what the Lord wants me to do. For now, there are no customers so its not really an issue.

So, the idea of the blog came back into my head and I remember my good friend Shara and how fun it is to read her blogs and see the awesome photos she posts there on a regular basis. Can I do it too? She always assured me that I could so I thought it was perfect timing. I'll put this together in time for Christmas and have a place for everyone to go see some photos and whatever else I can think of to put on here. Should be fun!

So, this is the beginning.....thanks for visiting and I hope you come back often to see what's new and exciting!
