Waiting For Santa Video!If this isn't the most adorable video you've ever seen, I don't know what is! In the spirit of Christmas I wish you all a lovely holiday filled with family and friends, love and laughter, but especially peace and relaxation! I'm taking off the week between Christmas and New Years, as my B-day is in there and I've been working extra hard this past month! Happy Ho Ho and Christmas wishes!

Pleasantly Surprised By Marketing Efforts Today in Edmonton!There have been a few posts recently on what are you doing to market yourself, and Shooting For the Moon, which made me think about how lax I've become lately with my Home Staging business. As some of you know I wear a lot of different hats and own a few different businesses and I need to get better at paying attention to this one. Yesterday I started calling Realtors whose MLS listings could use some work; either vacant or too cluttered, and have continued on throughout this morning.Fear,  is often what has stopped me from calling before. So often they will give you the brush off and/or be rude.I have often quoted to myself: "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero only one."So what am I afraid of? Rejection? Someone yelling a...

Have the Urge to Purge!?! Step One; Don’t Get Overwhelmed! Fluff My House! Can Help You Organize in Edmonton!   Let’s face it; everyone has too much stuff! And usually at this time of the year when we want to decorate for the holidays or make room to put up a tree, we will really notice the excess!   Then there’s after the holidays and where do you put the stuff you’ve received?   If you have the urge to purge and get rid of things that are piling up, it is easy to look at the pile and think: How am I ever going to get to the bottom of that pile?   One way to not get overwhelmed is to start small. Start with one shelf. Take everything off of it and sort. Make 3 piles: keep, garbage and donate.   The Keep pile needs to be organized into sections of: does it belong here or somewhere else?...

Christmas Displays! Hat's off to Clara and Bill! I was at a clients home the other day to give them hair cut's.

What's the Deal With Stik.com? Facebook has yet another way for one to connect with colleagues and client similar to facebook and Google + called Stik.com.I received a notification if I'd like to join and knowing SEO is a fickle friend, thought; hey why not!?! My problem now is that Stik.com is now sending messages to all my facebook colleagues and acquaintances begging for a referral about what a good Real Estate Agent I am. I am not a Real Estate Agent. And: I. Do. Not. Beg. If someone likes my work enough to refer me, that's wonderful. If I've worked for someone and ask for feedback after the job is done, then I might use something they've said as a testimonial. But I did not agree to, nor did I give permission for, this blanket plea for referrals. Especially one as misleading as cal...

  Thinking Outside the Box in Edmonton! Even a Shed Package Isn't Safe! In our quest for a new garage, that we had built 2 years ago, many things in our yard got altered or obliterated. One was my garden (which I put back together this spring) and the other my garden shed. My husband agreed we needed a place to hold all the yard equipment and so we went to our local Totem Building Supply to view some of their shed packages. Knowing how much room we had we decided on a half shed that would go up against the garage wall. But. I knew I had a lot of stuff to go in there so I thought if we added a bit more on the backside there would be room for shelves as well as anything that rolls, ie: lawn mower, rototiller. Also, I've always wanted a green house since our growing season is quite short h...

Silly Sunday! Huntin'n'Fishin' A woman goes into a Bass Pro Shop to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. A sales associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, "Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?" He says, "Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes." She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, "That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. test line. It's a good all around combination and it's on sale this week for only $20.00." She says, "It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the cou...

It's been 5 months from start to finish but yesterday our Cornerstone Grant funding came in the mail. We started building the secondary suite in July and final approval came around November 15, 2011, seven days later we got our cheque. Here, here and here are the steps we took through the whole grant process.The biggest delays were permits the longest one took about 6 weeks, our contractor (the guy seriously lost the plot) and finally fireproofing the furnace room ceiling with drywall. 95% of the people we spoke to said it couldn't be done but it was. It took 3 inspections by the city but finally we got it right. The first shot is with gypsum board which is not to code the second two we have drywall and some fireproof duct tape throughout the ceiling. After our whoops of joy we thought...

Friday Funnee! Ole und Clarence!     Ole lived across the Fundy Bay from Clarence Bunson, whom he didn't like at all.       They were yelling across the river at each other all the time. Ole would yell to Clarence, "If I had a vay to cross dis river, I'd come ofver dere und beat you up good, yeah sure ya betcha by golly!"   This went on for years. Finally, the Province built a bridge across the river right there by their houses.   Ole's wife, Lena, says, "Now iss yer chance, Ole. Vhy doncha go over dere und beat up dat Clarence like you said you vud?"   Ole replied, "OK, by yimminy, I tink I vill do yust dat!"   Ole started for the bridge, but he saw a sign on the bridge and stopped to read it, then turned around and came back home.   Lena asked, "Vhy did you come back?"   Ole said, "Le...
