It is beautiful Friday morning here in North Texas! Great day to Buy a House! What?! Oh...I guess I haven't mentioned yet that we are trying (again!) to sell our house here in Crowley, TX. I lived in Oklahoma ALL of my life, so in 2004 when my husband's job situation forced us to start looking for different employment we ended up in the Fort Worth area. We knew NOTHING about this area, where we wanted to live, how the schools were, what the towns felt, like, etc. So...based upon the recommendations from a few people in the area, we bought a house in Crowley, TX. We love our house and the neighborhood is great, but...I am a city girl and am looking for a bigger town and we also would like to have some land to let our "pets" (a.k.a. our 3 active, growing sons and their tag-along little sister) to run, play and have some outdoor fun!
For those of you that have sold your home, you know what an awful process it is to get it ready for a showing (then again...maybe it is just us!)!! We did all of the "heavy duty" prep work (painting, repairing, clearing out unnecessary furniture, tidied up closets, etc.) two weeks ago. Now we just have to tackle the move-in ready look for each showing. We are still living in the house that we are trying to sell, so we of course have everyday items that while are very functional and efficient are not something you want out when people come to look (i.e. laundry baskets, bath products by tub, my piles of work on every flat surface in my office), so...my husband and I are doing the "house showing dance" this morning and removing items from each room of the house which of course, we will replace this evening only to have to put them all away again should we get another showing. Anyway - - all of that was said just to let you know what I am doing this morning! What are you doing?
For those of you that follow Germantown/Port Washington Just Between Friends on Facebook, you might recall a trash bag wreath that I told you about. Well...I decided that since I suggested it, that I ought to try it! I finished it just last night and it turned out really cute plus...talk about cheap and easy!! It cost me NOTHING to make as I used a wire hanger from my husband's closets and plastic bags from my bag holder and voila! :-)
( Here it is!)
Must run...I have floors to vacuum, stuff to hide, and mirrors to shine!
Before I go...here is a thought for today:
Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Smiling from ear to ear,
