I had the wonderful opportunity of starting my own business. Although the business in now closed, I gained valuable knowledge, met a host of wonderful people-my customers, and got to live one of my dreams. I knew I wanted an opportunity to showcase my talents—home decorating; shopping/buying for others, party planning, and creating and selling my own designs all combined with providing that special personal touch. Looking forward to the next chapter in my life. But I can now add Business Owner to my resume!
