Stamping with Kim

Memorial Day 2011

Remembering American Veterans with honor and thanks.

 

SOLD?? Really??

I hope so!!

Our house went back on the market about 3 weeks ago, and we got another contract right away!!  I jokingly tell folks that "this time it took 10 times longer than the first time!"  We got a contract the very first day the first time, and the second time it took a whopping TEN days!  LOL!  That's wonderful in this market.  And this time we actually met the buyers & they seem very nice.

Needless to say, we've been cautiously awaiting our closing date - which is scheduled a week from tomorrow, the day after Memorial Day.  Let's hope everything goes smoothly this time!!

In the meantime, we've been very busy going back & forth between WV and TN.  I'm exhausted!!

Many of you have asked if I have been stamping - and the short answer is, sadly, "no".    Most of my stamps & accessories are in boxes & I have no clue what is where!!  One day I hope to have some organization back in my life.

Anyone got suggestions on how to do that?!!!

I hope you're all doing well & please drop me a note or comment!!  I have missed hearing from everyone & would love to know what is going on in your world!!!!

Good news/Bad news

U.S.A.!!!!  Hooray to the Navy Seals that finally took care of Usama Bin Laden!!!  What awesome news for our country!!  It's so good to see the patriotism of this country come alive at the drop of a hat.  It gives me hope & inspiration that despite all of the difficult times so many people are going through right now - our country will rebound and remain the Leader of the Free World!!!!

The rest of the news is not so good.....

We were supposed to be closing on our house this morning, but on Saturday our buyer walked away.  sigh.....  So after losing 5 weeks of valuable marketing time, our house went back on the market this morning.  I won't bore you with all the ugly details - and this buyer WAS UGLY!!!  I will just say that our realtor has definitely earned a gold star by being a true professional in dealing with folks like that.  I'm so glad we found her!!

I will close with that, before I say more than I should!!!  I will tell you that I am definitely having a hard time keeping a positive attitude after the past year & a half.  It's downright depressing.  But let's not go there!!!!!

Have a great week & I will be back soon!!  Thanks for being there!!!!!!
