It has been so long since I posted.  Where to start, I had my first stroke December 2014.  I worked all of 2015 and broke my right foot 3 different times.  The doctors told me to slow down, but I kept on going.  By mid 2015 I knew I couldn't really keep going. But I still tried.  I was the GM for Old South A tuque Mall, working 60 hours per week and still trying to decorate for people. By March 2016 I retired completely.  June 2016 I had a massive stroke that Flowers Hospital did t catch for 24 hours, so I was t given TPA to bust the clot.  So I have damage.  My husband took a position in Jacksonville with Harbinger Sign when I was still in the hospital.  After I got out my wonderful friend and Doctor Ramona Bolin found me a Neurologist to go to immediately.  My family contacted Mayo Clunic.  Long story short.  My life as a Mayo patient began.  All the strokes and TIS's that followed I was given the clot buster.    Below is a photo of my brain thlarge space is the June stroke.  The small Dot is the previous stroke.  I plan to post beautiful things again but at this point I want to catch everyone up on my life and we will start again!  But for today, thanks for being here and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Hi!

Gosh it has been awhile.  I have once again over booked myself and found little or no time for posting or sleeping for that matter!

The Mall is so very busy and my working only on Fridays slowly changed to some Saturdays which creeped into Sunday afternoons and before you knew it, I had clients and the mall every single day.  I have just had to eat on the run (been good for the hips...really) and rest as I could..  I lost the time I enjoy just being here, typing my thoughts and talking to anyone in blogland!

I wanted to stop long enough to tell you all Merry Christmas and that I promise to be back by New Years!

We have done work on our home and changed some furniture pieces, about to change more and I am anxious to show just what I have been up to.  I haven't shared project photos in a while and not told you  that I am One of the Christmas Homes in the Wiregrass Living Magazine this issue.  It has been a long year and I have been blessed with a wonderful loving family and a circle of very dear friends.  I am proud of my son's achievements, both of them!! I am so lucky to have Thomas as my best friend and Husband!! I am happy, relatively healthy and  most of all fulfilled

As a Christmas Gift to my Clients and Friends, I am having a BIG SALE for just a few days.  I will be offering all Red Tag Items in my booth at 50% OFF!!  That is furniture and small items as well.  Old and New Merchandise.   This is only for December 13, 14 and 15th.  Check out my Facebook Page

Hi Everyone!  And yes it has been a long time again!  I have had a Lupus flare which makes my life difficult...because I do not like to sit down!  So my mind runs 90 to nothing and I feel helpless to do the things that need to be done. So last week I was DOWN!!  Ok, that is all for the Pitty Party!

I have a staging job going on in Marianna and am loving my client!  So sweet and easy to work with.  They hope to sell the home and I am loving what we are creating.  A warm and cozy atmosphere that speaks "Family"!!  They may love it and stay...but no matter what we are making it loveable!!

I have all the fall done and will begin Christmas decor for "one of my regulars" and besties the Monday before Thanksgiving.  Then I will concentrate on my booth through the first of the year.  Which brings me to my booth...as of yesterday, my booth has been renamed and I have a partner.  Belinda Marquez and I have become "ONE"  our new booth is "Charming"!  So, my blog will be changing names.   I will be posting photos the first of the week with all the updates and our New Face Book Page.  But most of all show you our Charming Booth!!!
