As of yesterday - I am officially back to being Barb - just Barb - not Barb buying a business, not stressed out Barb, not losing her mind Barb - just Barb.
I made a life decision - and that decision was that a new and larger business was not for me. My "trial" period did just what I needed it to do - tell me whether or not I was making the right decision. And I *did* make the right decision....I walked away!
I feel like I have a ton of weight off my shoulders. I feel like I can get back to my life, my family, my husband...and blogging!!!! Yoohoo!
Now I will warn you - I am not quite ready to jump back into Bloggerville head first. Maybe a few posts a week. But I do look forward to doing a tablescape and sharing some ideas which have been dormant for too long now.
So get ready world...... I'm baaack!

Hi Barb, and welcome back! I've not been as diligent with blogging this summer but I never did make a "formal announcement"....life just happened and I got busy. I've discovered I LOVE blogging and I'm just going to make time for it. It gives me more joy than sitting in front of the TV for hours at a time...so I'm going to try and be a better blogger, starting NOW! Thanks for the inspiration....I'm glad you are happy with your choice! :)
Hi Barb! Oh, I'm so happy for you and glad you're so happy! Welcome back and just take your time on posts. We'll all be here for you.
