Wow! One day you are a blogger, and the next day you are not…..I had spoken with the folks at HomeGoods and we decided that between 2 homes and a new job, I could not commit to posting on a weekly basis, therefore I would “step down” and make way for fresh faces and new bloggers….I kind of feel like I am making my “good bye” speech and giving up my crown in a pageant….LOL, just kidding.
Seriously, I would like to thank all the wonderful people at HG who took a chance on 5 ladies who were completely new to the “bloggasphere”, and created a wonderful project! I also would like to thank all the folks who were so loyal and supportive of my post….Margie Fitchlee, Susan Smith, and of course my dear friend “Abbigail”
I will continue to visit the blog and of course shop at HomeGoods. Best wishes for continued success with the “Open House blog”, and to my fellow bloggers, Betty, Cathy, Deb and Janice, I will always feel that you all are a part of my extended family. Please stay in touch!
So “ta ta for now” and as always “happy decorating”

3. Dear Alli: I keep looking for new blogs from you…I love your style of decorating, your house on the water and your new place too…remember the blue wall? What controversy you created with that project…I still keep up with what all of you great ladies have to offer us want-to-be decorators and thank-you for sharing your ideas and pictures with all of us…I continue to shop the Homegoods store in Venice Florida and also stopped into a great new one in Cape Coral Florida…my home is Florida is starting to take shape and in time I hope to have it furnished completely (if there is a time we completely finish decorating) best of luck to you and keep enjoying that cottage by the sea…from an admirer Margie

4. Dear Alli,
You have been such a tremedous reward to us all. You talent, style, design and tremendous humor always brought the best out of us. Thank you for what you have given to HomeGoods, the bloggers who responded to your design ideas and to your HG bloggers. I am grateful to HomeGoods that they thought us worthy to bring the five of us together and enable us to establish a friendship and a family among ourselves. Continue to do the great things that you do so well. We will continue to be in touch. Be Blessed! Remember, celebrate everyday as if it is Christmas!
(Please forgive what appears to be a slow response to your message of farewell, but as usual, my post was out of commission for a few days.)

5. Thanks to everyone for your kind remarks and well wishes…It is hard to say “good-bye”. I promise I will stop by and say “hello” from time to time.
I love the blog and know it will continue to be a success.
Everyone keep up the good work and take care!
Warmest regards,
alli
