It was a hard decision to make.
But after some serious thoughts and considerations, I opted out.

My family went through a very serious turmoil and loss recently that made me think and re-think about so many things in my life.

And one of these is opting out of Close To My Heart home business. I know I'll miss a lot of the goodies that's around this company, but I also want to redirect my time and effort to another path of life.

So I chose to opt out.

Before I close this as farewell page to my CTMH business, I want to send a big THANK YOU to each of you that came to me for orders, classes and friendship. Many of you became my good friends that I wholeheartly cherish.

Please know that while I no longer act as a Close To My Heart independent consultant, this blog will sure to continue in a new adventure, for the sake of creativity and life artistry.

Keep in touch with me. I'd love to share what I'm doing after this fine episode's closure.

Craft on!

Love,

Lya, for "The Craftologista Weblog"
