last minute halloween costume ideas

Posted by Susan Moore No Comments »

Well I went to a halloween party last Friday, and of course waited till the last minute to pull my halloween costume out of the old box in the closet.  That party was several years ago so my advice? Dont wait till the last minute to try these things one.  I grabbed some scissors and with a few alterations, flew out the door. When I got there it was evident that most people had put quite a bit of thought into it.  Lets face it, the ones who always win the halloween costume contests are always home made costumes.  So now, with another party to go to tomorrow night, I decided I needed to step it up to a better costume. I started searching the internet for “Last Minute Costumes“.  Here’s a few I found that were good, but if you have any good suggestions or pictures, pass them on … quickly!

 

 

Really Quick ideas- Funny but maybe not enough to win the contest… 

  • * Dress in pink and carry a feather. What are you? Tickled pink.
  • * Dress all in black, tie a shot glass around your neck. What are you? A shot in the dark!
  • * Wear all black and put a postage stamp (enlarged if possible) on your chest. What are you? Black mail.

    Susan’s Sales Tips For Selling Your Home

    Posted by Susan Moore No Comments »

     Carpet or paint allowance does NOT work in selling a home.  If the home needs carpet, put it in.  If the home needs painting, get it painted.  Take a look at the difference in this home below.  A new exterior coat of paint, trim and accenting the shutters to match the roof, makes a great first impression. 

     If a buyer walks into your home, and sees that the carpet is worn, their first impression is that the entire home has seen better days.  They assume that the owners probably haven’t keep much else up to date either and will actually look for signs to prove it.  Now they’re thinking, I don’t mind fixing things up, I can do it….  but it’s gonna cost them.  Their anticipation of seeing this home has just dropped dramatically in the first few seconds.

    A seller has 8 seconds for a buyer looking at a home to decide if they really like the house…
