June 16, 2015 at 2:04 pmI have really enjoyed your blog posts for a long time, your kitchen and decorating posts are some of my all time favorites. Sadly, however I am unsubscribing from your site you . Your posts and many emails seem to be going in a different direction than what I am interested in. Thank you so much for the wonderful things you have shared in the past. Best wishes

June 16, 2015 at 5:01 pmSo sorry to see you go but I totally understand. We are currently renting and closing on our new house in July so I will have more decorating post. But yes, my focus has shifted to being more of a frugal homemaking resource blog rather than a DIY/decorating blog and that will continue.
Thank you so much for being a reader of this blog!
