Is That Confetti in Your Hair….

Party ConfettiPin

Because Miss Mary Mac (my laptop) is throwing a celebration!  After 3 weeks on the market, we are under contract!
And now that it is real, I am totally freaking out….
deep breaths….. deep breaths….

How bout a little psychic reading…  In my future I see….

…a glass or two or four of wine to celebrate tonight! (and calm my nerves!)

…a messier house now that I don’t have to have it “show ready” at all times!

…househunting… like yesterday!

… one of these bad boys:
Pin






… Lots more freaking out since I have just about 3 weeks to pack up and get out!




… Tons of new DIY and home decor projects coming your way!




…and of course the start of a new venture.  Wish me luck!

    Cassie that is amazing news! I am so happy for you (and excited for me since you are moving this way!) Where are you going to start looking??

    My first thought when I saw you are under contract was I wonder if they know whose house they just bought??!?  The buyer needs a blog to write about owning the famous Cassie’s house! 😉
