Dream House Deals: Two For Tuesday!!

Well, well, well...you didn't think I'd be back tonight did you????  Guess what?  I'm baaaaccckkkkk!!!  Bwwhahahahahaaa, insert evil laugh!!  So here ya have it and a 2 fer on the Dream House Deals:

This will be in Emma's new room.  We are going to go with the whole fashion designer theme in her bedroom and I got this picture at Target for I believe $19.99.  I absolutely LOVE this idea because I really think this is something she can grow into.  Hobby Lobby also has a TON of stuff to go along with this.  They have alot of fashion stuff and tons of Paris stuff as well.  I think her room is going to ROCK!!

Onto my next deal.  Now try to contain your excitement cuz this next DH Deal is pretty wicked awesome!!  Hehehehe, ok maybe it is kind of lame but I thought it was a good deal.  This is a towel set that I got for our main bathroom off the great room!!  They are just plain white but they are oh so fluffly and have that spa like feel.  LOVES THEM!!  I believe I got them from Marshall's for $9.99....man I LOVE that place.  Here they are.  Try to contain your excitement!!

There it is for tonight!! On a side note, I have started a little bit of couponing so I am sure to share a little bit of that along the way!  I had several comments from my loyal followers after last night's post and they made me feel all warm and fuzzy!!

I am back and feeling more optimistic than ever!!!  Woohhooo I am going to find that St. Joseph statue before the weekend is over.

See ya'll tomorrow night!!!!

Extra, extra read all about it!!

Here I am, back at it!!  Things have been crazy and on top of that I think that I was just a little bummed out!  I have been kind of frustrated and just  kind of OVER IT!!!  I am pulling out of that  downer mentality RIGHT NOW!!  I have to stay positive and know that it will happen soon.

Anywho, update on that last showing......
They came a week and a half ago and they liked the house and the barn but they were planning to put an offer on another property that our realtor has listed....another property that is $60K higher. Hey if they want to pay $60K more I am more than happy to take that!!





Ugghhhhh our realtor thought they were really looking for out buildings and not price caps.  The other house's barn was comparable to ours but the house was 500 sq. feet bigger.  So there goes that shot...wait, wait I can't think like that.  They hadn't written up an offer yet so there is still hope that they could decide to put an offer on ours, right RIGHT?!?!?!?!  I am done being down and gonna stay positive.
I have been so bummed out that I haven't even been watching HGTV, can you believe that????  HGTV is the crack to my addiction.  Sooooooo I am done pouting and am going to make this HAPPEN!!!


Hehehehehee so I am not nearly that cute when I am pouting...just ask my husband!!

So here goes, I have to get my mojo back and git 'er done.  We had 2 people stop and pull in the driveway last night to get our info off the for sale sign.  So hopefully we get some action this week!!!

I will be back tomorrow night, I PROMISE, with a dream house deals post!!  After all I would hate to disappoint JD and Katie :D 
 

Wouldn't you know it??

It never fails I tell ya!!  Just when our house is completely out of control because we have softball and baseball every other night during the week we get a call to show the house.  I've said it a million times my friends...it only takes one!  So between getting ready for our big camping trip, ball games and that whole J O B thing, I've gotta get this place in tip top shape!!  Wow, I had to take a power nap after dinner just so I could get my cleaning swerve on!  Holy cow this dreary weather makes me feel like I have mono!!  Oh well maybe I can get Ryan to do his magic with staging!!

The real bummer of all is that I can't get to Costco before Friday so I can get my usual fresh flowers.  Man oh man what's a girl to do????  Let's just be honest Kroger's flowers are just overpriced and rather crappy!  Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....
Well I can't spend too much time chatting it up tonight...gotta get this place sparkling.  Come on, please tell me the stars have aligned and this is the one!!!

In the event we ever sell our house....

we really do have a house picked out.  We have our plans picked out but just haven't ordered them yet!!  Just waiting until I have a spare 2 grand laying around ;)  Hey with all this rain I might be able to go out back and pick some off the money tree!!

 

 Ok, ok so we don't really have a money tree out in the backyard.  God knows if we did our house would have been built LONG AGO and I wouldn't be going through the agonizing process of selling a house in this craptastic market.  Ahhhhhhhh I digress!!

So back to my point. Our plan for our new house.  This is not going to be a mansion by any means but a mansion in our eyes.  Just a nice 4 bedroom house with a full basement....right around 2600 sq. feet!

Oh man I love it so!!!  How I wished we could just get started.  See, it is nothing fancy and pretty traditional.....just our style :)  Honestly I really feel like I have given up all hope.  However that is NOT the attitude to have now is it?  Gotta keep a positive outlook and hope for the best!

The other major item on my check list is a St. Joseph statue.  I have to get on that!!!  So if anybody sees one while they are out and about give me a shout.  I am afraid to walk into a religious store for fear lightning will strike ;)

 

 There ya have it!!  The latest scoop.  I have contacted a few news channels to try and get some shameless plugs out on their websites.  I heard back from a couple so we'll see what is yet to come!!!  Say it with me, gotta sell this house......
