Here goes nothing.......

I decided it was time I had my own "Jo-Ann" blog!  I write a journal and keep it up pretty well, as a matter of fact, I have 3 journals right now.  The first one is my "personal" journal where I just right what's happening in my life and how I'm feeling.  The second one is my "quilt" journal where I keep track on all the projects I'm working on and how they are progressing, and the third one is my "decorating" journal for the townhouse I've rented and hope to be moving into shortly once my house sells......hopefully very soon!

This journal is somewhat a combination of all three written journals and maybe a little more.....

So, let's start off with the house!  This is the house I am selling!  I thought I would be smart and try selling it on my own, hence the Property Guys sign on the front lawn.....On Sunday I met with Gord Bartozzi and Tansie Fenton, friends of my friends Libby and Lorenzo, who are ReMax agents and the new signs went up yesterday......

My friend Rich's original idea was to put signs on the tree that said - "Tree for Sale - House Included"!  Cute idea and may have peaked some interest but for all intents and purposes will not necessarily sell the house!  I finally admitted to myself that I couldn't give it the time and effort I needed to in order to make it happen.....

Tomorrow I have new carpet coming for the hallway and two of the bedrooms upstairs so tonight I will be, with help from Rich and my son Jonathan, moving furniture out of the two bedrooms and hall closets so they have clear access and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg......You know what they say, sometimes you have to spend money to make money......I believe that Tansie (who prompted me to do this) is right, it will pay off in the end.

Right now I am at the store (Cock A Doodle Quilts),  Kathy is working today and we are going to go through all the store samples we have and price them for sale.  If you're looking for a handmade quilt to give as a gift this Christmas, these are gorgeous quilts.....however, we no longer display them because the fabrics have been sold out or we are no longer teaching the classes that they were made for.

I'm not sure how often I will be posting here (hopefully often) but I hope you will enjoy reading it!  Will also try not to be too verbose! (my word for the day!)

Have a great day everyone....

Jo-Ann
