I started this blog way back in 2009, never imagining that 4 years later I would say goodbye. What started out as a way for me to share my thrifty finds, slowly became more focused on decorating and diy projects.
There are so many wonderful bloggers out there that encouraged me, praised me and lifted me up. I have shared very intimate moments with all of you, as you have shared with me. Concentrating my energy on home decor projects helped me to pass the time away, but what I really need now is to spread my wings and get out of the house. I have to create a new chapter in the book of Mel; I don’t know where it will lead, but now is the right time.
Thank you for sharing you, with me. I hope that in some small way I was able to inspire you, to lift you up and make you feel valued.
I owe it to you to say goodbye; there have been bloggers that have just dropped off the face of the earth without a goodbye and I always just felt it was a little thoughtless (I am sure they have their reasons).
I will leave the blog open for a while, but this is my last post. And, I’ll still be visiting your blogs so I can continue to be inspired to diy.
All the best to you and yours, enjoy the Holiday season and a prosperous new year!
Over and out
(I’ve always want to say that)Mel
P.S. I have moved all of my content to a new blog: www.broadviewheights.blogspot.com
There are no link backs, no widgets to follow, no nothing :) Just a place for me to occasionally post the things I'm doing.
Good luck on your next venture. I will sorely miss your postings.

ReplyDeleteMel, thank you so much for writing this. I agree, there are some that just disappear and it's sad and hard for the readers who have made them a part of their life! But more importantly, I wish you all the happiness in the world on your next chapter. xoxo
