2011 December Blogging Challenge- Arming Myself with Info!

2011 December Blogging Challenge- Arming Myself with Info!

After making some follow up  calls to prospects I decided to arm myself with information for 2012.   I’d seen a design book years ago that I fell in love with and decided to get it to jump start my new year.  It’s Design Basics by Jeffrey Bilhuber.  

I’ve been trying to get away from “collecting” books, and instead use the Internet for tangerineresearch or download it to my Kindle (which I read on my PC or my Droid).  After moving so many times, I got tired of hauling boxes of books around.  But there are just some books that you want to have around to hold in your hands and read.  This book is not just about pretty pictures of rooms.  

Next I read about the Pantone’s 2012 Color of the Year.... Tangerine Tango!  I love seeing color again.  Would I put it on a wall?  Probably not one for sale but I sure would use it in my accessories!

2011 December Blogging Challenge- Networking and Having Fun at It!

2011 December Blogging Challenge- Networking and Having Fun at It!

Day 6 and I was at my monthly Women’s Networking Holiday Lunch.  I love this group because it’s informal and not restricted to just one member from each industry.  Friendly competition!  And yet, everyone is eager to help each other out where we can.  I spoke with someone who may be putting her house on the market (and she doesn’t have a Realtor yet, so I also offered to provide her with a few names.  
 
And, since today was our Holiday Luncheon, several of our members had their products on display.... just in time for holiday gift shopping!

Lisa Shaheen, Ability Glass & Mirror and Juice Plus, has been the key in all of this.  She formed the group and keeps it running.  Without her enthusiasm and dedication, I don’t know if the group would be what it is.

If you’re not in a networking group or if you want one that is a nice change of pace, why not form your own?

2011 December Blogging Challenge- My Migrating Computer

computerIt’s day 3 and Football Saturday... my last chance to watch college football before the bowl games.  Today was spent migrating all of my programs and data to my new laptop, but before I did that I went through all of the photos I have for my Blog and purged the ones I knew I would not use.  


I also downloaded a program that Sharon Tara told me about called GIMP, which is like Photo shop but free and supposedly easier.  We’ll see about that.  I need this for my “After” staging photos.  

I also had a phone conversation with a client who is out of town and we're working on staging her property. I can use most of her furniture but there are several pieces that need to be removed. I sent photos of these pieces so she could decide what we could donate and what could be placed in storage. =

2011 December Blogging Challenge- Day 1!

2011 December Blogging Challenge-Day 1!

I thought Thursday was going to be a “wind-down” day for me because I’d faucethad a busy first part of the week!   Trust me, I’m not complaining because when you’re in South Florida, you want to take advantage of the season.  

I sent out a bid for staging a beautiful condo in Boca Raton this morning and later in the afternoon,  I viewed another property for an investor.  And, if I can ever finish this I’ll polish off a bid on another gorgeous home in Delray Beach.  

My cup runneth over and as far as I’m concerned keep that faucet on!
