Update

I want to thank you all for the many comments left. I wasn't feeling well for a time and had a health scare, which turned my attention to things in the "real world". Another Shade of Grey requires a considerable amount of my time and as much as I enjoy it I felt the need to step away for awhile. I don't really know what my plans are for this blog from this point forward, which is why I have hesitated to say anything at all, but I did want to let you know everything is well and I apologize for leaving you hanging. To make amends I share this fabulous hand printed gift wrap via rifferaff. Hope you enjoy! :)

    Hooray, I'm so glad to hear you are doing well! I think most of us would agree that your health is the most important thing. Although, I would miss your blog, if you do decide to go; I would hope for you to have health above all.

    So glad you're doing well - I had also started to worry when you didn't post for so long. I totally get the needing to step away from the computer thing - feel free to e-mail me if you want to talk about it.

  18. The main thing is to take care of yourself. Wishing you good health and strength. Your blog is an ab fab fave of mine, but a person's health and wellbeing come first. Selfishly, I'm hoping you'll be back, even on a light schedule. :)

  34. “In light of the uncertain residential housing market and slowing commercial construction and design projects, redesign and rehabilitation rather than new construction in both the commercial and residential sectors is likely to receive renewed focus. In blending economy with performance, interior designers will need to focus on creative solutions and cost-effective ways to meet clients’ goals in these challenging economic times,” said ASID Executive Director Michael Alin.
