So...

What a difference a day makes or maybe I should say what a difference a few thousand dollars makes.  We lowered our price at the end of last week and we've had two showings this week and another showing lined up for tomorrow.  Most importantly, we have an OFFER!!  We signed a counter offer today and should hear something by tomorrow afternoon! :)   Hopefully, I'll have one more thing to be thankful for next week...a house under contract!

I've been working on my Christmas cards the past few days and I LOVE them!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Still Here...Moving On! (haha)

I guess in this market it is no surprise that we still haven't sold our house.  People are not knocking down our door to see the house either.  We've dropped our price again in hopes of generating some interest, but at this point I don't really want to sell our house until after the new year.  Who wants to move during the holidays?  NOT ME!  So, for the foreseeable future, I am going to write about more enjoyable things like the upcoming holidays!

I LOVE the holidays...especially CHRISTMAS.  I think I like Christmas more than my birthday. :)  I started my Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago, and I am almost done buying for the kids!  Right now, I am trying to decide what I want to do for our Christmas card this year.  For the past couple of years I have done a handstamped card.  A few days ago, I mentioned to my husband that maybe I would just buy cards this year.  He was surprised and said that I should definitely do a homemade card again.  So, I guess I'll be making our cards again this year.  Personally, I don't think he really cares if it's homemade or not...I think he's just trying to keep me busy with a project!  Usually, my card planning process is to just go to Hobby Lobby and buy whatever stamps "speak to me" in the moment and worry about the "design" later.  This year, I think I am going to do some internet research for ideas BEFORE I go shopping.  Hopefully with a little more thought and effort,  this year's card will be the best one yet! 

I can't believe Thanksgiving is in less than two weeks.  I definitely have much to be thankful for!  Today, I am thankful for my family, friends, and the fact that we haven't sold our house yet and get to spend another Thanksgiving with our loved ones!  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
