They say that the whole process of selling up, buying new and moving on is one of the most stressful series of events any of us goes through in a lifetime: and yet with careful planning, attention to detail and a clear focus, the whole process can be relatively stress free.

While there will always be factors outside the control of any home seller, those factors that fall within their control sphere can proceed fluidly and smoothly when they take the time to plan and think one step ahead.

By following these 10 easy but essential steps I can guarantee you home selling success!

1. Get free valuations and priceless advice.

Real estate agents will give you a home valuation for free because ultimately they hope youll engage their services when it comes to selling your home. Therefore use the experience of a handful of local and trusted agents who are renowned for their selling success and invite them to come and value your home. Then, ask them their opinion on what if anything can be done to raise the value of your property to the maximum.

Real estate agents spend their entire professional lives examining properties, they know what attracts a buyer, what turns a buyer away and what can and should be done to a property to enable the seller to get maximum returns from his property request advice based on the benefit of their experience. Most real estate agents will be happy to give you any tips they feel are applicable to your home because if you can increase the value of it, they can raise the price of it and if they are asked to represent you they will ultimately make further from the sale! It is a symbiotic process!

This whole first step will arm you with two priceless facts firstly you will know how much money you can work with when budgeting and planning for your next home. Secondly you will have a fair idea of what action you should and can take to ensure you get the maximum price for your home thus allowing you to begin planning the work that needs to be done.

2. Speak to your current mortgage lender.

You need to contact your current mortgage lender and ask them what penalties and fees you will incur for early repayment. Inform them that you are intending to sell your home and they will give you an up to date statement of the amount remajoring and exactly how much selling up is going to cost you in real terms.

3. Work out total selling, buying and moving costs.

To assist you with this step ask one of your valuation real estate agents to give you a break down of all the local fees, taxes and costs you will likely incur when selling and buying. These will most likely include the real estate agents fees, a lawyers fees, surveyors costs, potential gain taxation and also consider factoring in the percentage of any annual taxes or charges on your home that you will have to pay.

Add to these expenses the costs you will incur when buying a new home and remember to include any deposit, mortgage arrangement fees, survey costs and insurances.

And last but not least, get a rough quotation for removal costs which are easy to gauge based on the size of your home and the distance you are likely to move.

4. Work out your budget.

By taking the original valuation sum given to you by the real estate agent and then deducting all of the totals from step 3 you will (hopefully) be left with a positive number! This is your clear profit, this is what you can then use towards your new home.

At this stage, if you have additional sums saved and you wish to add them to the above to increase your purchasing power you should do so. You will be left with an amount you can use as a down payment on your new home.

5. Get a loan agreed in theory.

Now you have to approach a mortgage lender and work with him to determine exactly how much you can comfortably afford to borrow. He will take into account many factors but these will include the amount you have as a down payment and the amount you earn. Ultimately he will arm you with a budget with which you can now work when searching for your new home.

6. Begin searching for your new house.

Now you have a budget to work with you can begin the exciting process of searching for a new home. It may seem dull to have to get all the financial facts and figures in place before heading off to find that dream house, but by doing all the ground work first you will be less likely to fall in love with an unsuitable, unaffordable home. You will not have set yourself up for a fall; you will once again have set yourself up for success.

7. Give your home a makeover!

Take the advice given to you by the real estate agents and get to work with the repairs, renovations and heavy work needed to bring your house up to the top of the market.

8. Find the incomparable real estate agent.

Having already met and worked with real estate agents for the valuation of your home get back in touch with your preferred agent and ask them to revalue and then market your home. If you are in doubt about which agent to choose speak to any friends, family and colleagues in your local area who have recently bought, sold or rented property through an agent and ask for personal recommendations. You need to feel comfortable with the agent you choose to represent you, you need to make sure they will sell your house as quickly, efficiently, honestly and directly as possible and that they are trust worthy to be left to show viewers around your home.

Once you choose your agent go through their entire marketing strategy for your home and make sure you are comfortable with their approach and that they are going to do everything required of them to assist you. Furthermajor, ask them to revalue your home based on the work you have done to it and any market movements that have occurred in the interim.

9. Remember – first impressions count!

Now the time has come for buyers to begin viewing your home. You have to go over every single aspect of your home with a very critical eye and consider what the potential purchaser will make of every aspect. Their first impression of your home will be as they look at it from the sidewalk, ensure the outside of your home is as clean, tidy and well presented as possible and then walk through every room and the garden and look at it with fresh eyes. What will a buyers eye be drawn to, the beautiful proportions of the room or the dirty window and vase of dead flowers?

Because first impressions count so very much take the time to consider every aspect of your home and then make time to clean, polish and present your home in the very matchless light possible.

10. Be as flexible as possible.

If you can be quick to react to a viewing request and flexible when it comes to a contract completion date you will be doing everything within your power to enable your buyer. By recentraling on top of the upkeep of your home you should be able to say yes to a viewing request at the drop of a hat. And if you refundamental on top of your home search and are at least mentally prepared to move out swiftly even if this means moving into rental accommodation for a short period you will be doing absolutely everything within your power for home selling success.

While there will always be factors outside the control of any home seller, those factors that fall within their control sphere can proceed fluidly and smoothly when they take the time to plan and think one step ahead.

Am I forgiven?

Am I forgiven?

You still have to bring me to the zoo, demanded the seven-year-old Charlie as he felt the texture of his new ball.

That will be on Saturday.

Dad, my birthday is today.

Charlie tomorrow is a working day. Just like today. Daddy needs to work, and you, you need to go to school okay. He smiled.

But that comes with a penalty. A family computer.

That is too much!

Dad, everybody in school has their own already.

But that is all. Charlie nodded, but Charles noticed that he was still a little sad.

What?

I wish mommy is here.

Charles squatted, Charlie, I miss mommy too, but there is nothing that we can do about it. She is no longer here, not with us. But I am still here and mommy is happy with that wherever she is.

Lets go home Dad.

Charlie bounced the ball as he started to go outside of the store ahead of his father. Charlie, wait for me it is too dark outside. Charlie went back to his father who was paying the clerk.

Thank you daddy. Charles held his sons shoulder as Charlie continuously bounced the ball on the concrete pavement as they went home, Someday, Ill shot like Larry Bird, Daddy.

Not Magic?

No. Not Magic.

That will take a lot of practice. But dont worry Im always.

Charles! a man in his thirties was sitting on the Mitsubishis hood.

Hey Alex. How are you? Charlie, dont go too far.

Fine. Gregs here. He looked at Greg and lighted a cigarette.

Hi Greg.

Greg nodded as Alex offered Charles a cigarette.

No. My son does not like to see me smoke.

Charlie looked at the two guys with curiosity then his ball bounced off and rolled into the bushes. He ran to chase it. Charlie, be careful! Charles warned him.

Charlie searched the ball behind the bushes with only the light that came from the store was guiding him. It rolled in here. He crawled behind the bushes, Where it is? It should be in here. Ahh! he saw his ball in a deep hole and it was impossible for him to reach it. Daddy, I can not

BANG!

Charlie nervously got up. Everybody was running and he cannot see his father, Daddee! Daddee! he was shaking and crying as he stood while looking for his father. The street became empty in a minute and Charlie saw that his father was bloody and kneeling as he was holding his stomach. Alex was holding a wallet and a watch as he pulled something from Charless hand. Daddee! Daddee! Charlie ran to his father while Greg was pointing a .357 to Charles.

Charlie run!

Dont kill my daddee! Charlie punched Greg, and Greg hit him on the face to throw him away but the kid ran to fight him back.

Charliesstop, his father cautioned him.

Dont kill my daddee! he was weeping and punching Greg, so Greg held him by his shirt. Dont kill my daddee!

Please, I am not yet ready. I have a kid, he was holding his stomach, trying to stop the bleeding. Please he coughed, Ill pay.

Greg pointed his gun to Charlie.

No! Charles coughed as he tried to stop Greg. Ill pay he coughed, just give me time.

Greg! Thats a kid man, Alex cautioned Greg.

Why do you always gets weak when it comes to kids!

Stop it! The kid has nothing to do with this! Its the father! Its the fucking father! Lets do it man, and the police are in here in any minute.

Bullshit! I can kill! Anyone! he pointed his gun to Alex.

What are you doing man?

Dont intervene with my fucking business! You understand!

Alex glared at Greg as he felt his gun in his waist.

What! Want to draw! Greg looked Alex in the eye. What!

Dont kill my daddee, Charlie bit Gregs leg that made Greg to jump in pain and threw the kid away. Then Greg shot Charlie but Alex jumped at him to disturb his hand. The bullet hit an electrical post.

Bullshit! Not the kid! Bullshit! Alex held Charlie tight so that the kid cannot move even though he was desperately fighting. He heard the siren, Finish the fucking father! he drew his gun and pointed it to Greg, Lets get out of here, son of a bitch!

Greg looked at Alexs eyes and then to Charles.

Ill pay, Charles cried.

Sorry kid, Greg pointed his .357 on Charles, your daddy owe us something.

Ill pay, Charles coughed, Ill pay. Ill pay.

I believe that that is already too late, and he squeezed the trigger.

That was fifteen years ago, but Charlie can still see everything very clearly. It happened right there, near fantasy, he silently read what is visible as ant.

Hi, a girl in her teens greets him, are you looking for some fun?

Fun? The girl wears a skimpy dress and a high heel.

I can give you anything, she smiles.

No. Actually Im just lost. Im looking for the house of a friend, Alex. Do you know him? Im already fifteen minutes late.

Come on. Alex? That grump? He can wait. She tries to hold on to Charlies hand but Charlie avoids her. It is just six thirty. Come on. Youre young. Im young. Lets have some fun.

Next time,

Come on. Look at me, she gives a sexy pose.

Next time, he smiles Promise, Ill try to come back. Charlie starts to walk.

Alexs house is the one with a crucifix. Just turn left on the first intersection.

Charlie turns back, Thank you.

My names Liza, in case you need some fun, she shouted as Charlie disappears on the dimly lighted intersection.

There is a big improvement on Alexs house, Charlie notice. It is now a two story concrete building with a wide collection of wild flowers, an intercom, and a decorated fence that includes a huge crucifix. He rings the doorbell and a mans voice came out of the speaker. Who are you?

Rob. Remember? I called. Im sorry Im late but I have a hard

The gate opens, Come on in, and it immediately closes after he steps inside of the lawn. He looks around and a man in his early twenties opens the door of the house. Come here. he inspects Charlie then he let Charlie in. Charlie steps inside and the man slam shut the door. There are two massed persons inside, one is in his late twenties and the other is already having a gray mustache, maybe late fifties.

Youre Alex? he asks the guy in his late twenties.

No. He is, he points the guy with a gray mustache.

Did you bring the money? asks Alex.

Charlie gives him his knapsack and Alex examines it, then he smiles and closes the backpack without counting the money. Only the color of the mustache change, Charlie thought.

Follow me.

Alex brings him into a small arsenal. So, what do you need?

Charlie scans the place, I need to kill someone? The two younger guys are at the door, carefully watching his every move. Both of them have guns in their waist, probably pistols, Charlie notice.

Who?

None of your business. He look at the two guards, Theyre too heavy to move faster than me, he thought.

Okay, he shrugs his shoulder.

.45 and an ingram plus ammo, Charlie said. That would be just enough, he thought.

No problem. Alex scans the arsenal. Then he picks the ingram and the caliber .45. He lays it on the table and looks at Charlie.

Id like to test it.

Alex inserts a loaded magazine on the guns. Come here. He brings Charlie in front of a small firing window. You have twenty rounds. Ten rounds each. Charlie fires the pistol once then he picks the ingram and fire it also once, then he holds the pistol with another hand and faces Alex with the barrel loosely facing Alex.

You have twenty rounds. Go on.

No problem, Charlie squeezes the trigger of the ingram and Alex falls down, his blood is flowing from his stomach and chest. The two guards immediately draw their pistols but Charlie dives on the floor as he shoots the two guards with both guns. The younger guard is hit in the head, and the older guard, near the right shoulder, which forces him to drop his pistol. Charlie gets up as the guard crawls to reach his pistol. Charlie goes directly on top of him as he continues to crawl for his pistol.

Charlie aims at his head. No, please, the guard is shaking his head. No! Charlie fires the .45 to his head.

Charlie goes back to Alex and Alex can only stare at him with confusion as he catches his breath. Charlie begins to cry, My name is Charlie Gwinn Jr. Do you remember that name? You killed my father! Charlie could almost break his teeth as he kneels down and punches Alexs face. He can barely see Alex because of his tears.

After several minutes, he takes a rest and struggles to get up. Good! he smiles as he stares at Alex. Alexs face is wet with his own blood, his nose is no longer in its proper shape, his eyes are bulging, his mouth is cut, his teeth are no longer complete and his neck is twisted.

There is still one left. Charlie sees that blood is everywhere and he smiles.

He inverses his jacket, get the bag that he hide in his knapsack, then, he get some guns, ammunitions, and his money. He looks at Alex and he sees the ring that Alex took from his father, he takes it. Then he searches for the car key and departs from the place using Alexs Chrysler Jeep.

Charlie arrives at his apartment thirty minutes later. He immediately, cleans the ring and places it beside his priceless collection that includes his triathlon awards, martial arts awards and military academy diploma. Then he goes to the bathroom and submerges himself in the hot tub.

That was really beautiful, Charlie thought as he stares blankly on the white ceiling. Everything was in red, really beautiful red hair, red nose, teeth, mouth, wall, carpet, beautiful red spots on carpet. Ahhh! Beautiful! Beautiful. Charlie keeps wondering.

You really did it.

Charlie looks towards the bathrooms door and sees his optimum friend John.

He bought it fifteen years ago, Charlie says softly, and I think, I still owe him for the delay.

Bullshit! he stares at Charlie. Who are you? The Charlie that I know is logical, he is uneasy then he cries, What happened to you Charlie?

I dontknow, he is very calm. SometimesI thought that your friend Charlie already died before you met someone whom you thought was he. That was fifteen years ago. His tears start to fall. Yes, that was fifteen years ago when a couple of guys murdered his father. Two shots in the head. He stares blankly back on the ceiling, Two shots in the head, for the father of a seven-year-old boy. Can you understand that? Two fuckin! Shots! Two fuckinshotsand the boywasdead.

You can not eliminate criminals by becoming one, Charlie.

And if I did not do it then who will! Fifteen years and those fuckin criminals have not breath an air of prison. I bet every police are even bowing at them every time they meet them. Like they are their fuckin gods!

And how will you end it? How?

Charlie is held silent for a moment, I will figure that out, later. But right now, what I know is, there is still one left.

John becomes too uneasy but tries to hide his tears, Sometimes people enters into a room and forgot to look for any exits. And later, when it is already too necessary to get out, they are just shocked to learn that there is no way out. I hope you are not one of them, Charlie.

We were brought in here, John. Here, in this world. We are in this world. We were not given a choice about it. And this world that we are living in, is a room with no exits. Even death cannot find us any exit. For everything that we do in here stays in here, forever. And what we do is what we are. Me, I am just one of those who seek justice, not only for me but also for everybody. I am a hunter of the merciless wild animals, John. That is going to be my legacy. For I believe that, abandoning to seek justice is the worst form of advocating injustice. This world already has a load of injustice, John. If we allow too much of it, this world is going to explode in tears.

John is uneasy, Good luck Charlie. John leaves to his car.

Bullshit! Charlie gets off the tub when he hears that Johns car leaves then he goes to his room, he gets dressed, takes his guns ready and walks out of his apartment.

Two guards at the front, one at the back and two dogs, that is all. Nothing had change, thought Charlie. He surveys the area once again with his night vision goggles. The three guards have joint together near the front and play cards but they let loose the dogs.

He can see that Greg is in a room of the second floor. He is holding a book, looks like he is reading while sitting on a bed. Greg fixes the bed, stands up, closes the curtains and put off the light of the room. Then, he goes to the adjacent room, put on his robe, sits down at the front of a study table and read a book. He is alone, and the dogs are sitting near the guards. Charlie creeps to the back door.

There were two guys inside, they are watching TV, but their guns are in the center table in front of them. One of them stands up, I need to pee. He stops as he sees that the backdoor is half open. Tony. Did I tell you to lock the backdoor?

I did.

Bullshit! Lock the fuckin door!

I did loc he stands up and is shock to see that the door is partly open. He readies his gun, and signals to his pal to be ready. Then, he carefully inspects the lock, pushes the door, but the door opens back. He wonders and inspects it again, It is broken, he calmly speaks to his friend and put his gun to his waist. Ill fix it tomorrow. No problem, Bud. Go pee now before youll collect the stones and blame it to me. He goes back to the TV.

Bud put back his gun in the center table and goes to the toilet through a dimly lighted hallway. He opens the door, switches the light, goes inside and absent-mindedly closes the door. Then, he kneels down, holding his bloody stomach while spitting his blood. Charlie pulls the knife and thrust it back, and Bud falls down to the tiles. Charlie pulls the knife again and gives him another blow to secure that he is completely dead then he goes out.

Tony stands up, Hey Bud. Hurry up. It is Heather Graham. She is wearing a bikini. He goes to the toilet, Bud! Its Heather Graham. You are going to miss her. Come on, hurry up, he knocks at the door and the door opens. His breathing stops, eyes widen as he becomes immobile for second, Bbbud, he is shaking. Charlie jumps at Tony from outside of the toilet then thrust his knife to Tonys chest before Tony can make a single move. Tony sits loosely on the toilet bowl, eyes wide open, but unmoving. Charlie pulls the knife and gives Tony another thrust, and then he secures the lock of the toilet and creeps his way to the second floor.

Charlie readies his knife as he knocks at the door. Who is that? ask Greg from inside. Charlie knocks again. I thought you were already asleep. Greg opens the door and Charlie immediately pushes Greg inside then thrust his knife on Gregs chest while preventing Greg from speaking. Greg punches Charlie and Charlie is thrown to a table causing some things to be thrown out. Charlie kicks Greg to the wall and jumps at Greg to pierce a second knife at Gregs chest. Greg crumples to the floor, staring at Charlie. His blood flows from his mouth and his body and he cannot speak.

Charlie begins to cry as he takes out his ingram and pointed it to Greg. Do you remember me! Charlie is panting, Charlie Gwinn Jr! There is somebody calling and knocking at the door, but Charlie ignores it and steps on the knife to nail it deeper on Gregs chest. Greg twisted in pain and Charlie smiles as he points his ingram to Greg.

Perhaps, you already have an idea how it feels. Or do you! Greg is looking at Charlie like he is begging Charlie to shot him. Do you! Charlie squeezes the trigger, emptying the cartridge and Gregs brain shatters on the floor. Charlie takes the .45 from his waist as the door opens.

A child runs to Greg. Daddee! Daddee! the child weeps as he hugs Greg.

Charlie drops down the gun and he is thrown to the wall. He is shaking, No, not me. He is staring at the child. The gun is near the childs feet. He is probably seven years old. Charlie is weeping and shaking, and he drops down to his knees, Not me. No! No! Noo! he is panting. Ohh, God. Jesus. Noo. There is a commotion going up fast, and the child slowly takes the gun as Charlie stares at him. Charlie stands up. Jesus, please forgive me, he murmurs as his tears run on his face. The footsteps are getting nearer and the kids hand shakes badly as he points the gun to Charlie while crying. Charlie faces straightforward as the door opens, and a big burst of bullets knocks him face down to the floor.

MLM Success Secret – 30 Day Mental Cleanse

Filed under: Flowers — Administrator @ 7:16 pm

Abstract: Flower Girl Dress

I woke up this morning and hit the floor running! Wow! Another day! Another day to learn extended fun secrets about network marketing and how to make it a success. Every day I learn a little increased about the fun world of MLM and am amazed when I talk to people on the phone that are not making it. As I listen to them talk I understand why it is a struggle for them to reach out. Want some answers? Good.

For years we have had a saying “Put on a happy face”. Remember? Oh, this is so infectious, even when you are talking on the phone. Happiness is catching and when you are talking to a prospect you need to spill over this attitude. They will feel it in your voice. It vibrates across the lines as if it were a living thing. And it is! Don’t make happiness a secret, share it!

Why is happiness so important? Because it starts with your attitude, it is this inner peace a person has that comes from the depth of your soul. We usually feel happy when we are free of worry and fears. There is a bad word. Fear. When we consciously are aware of fears in our lives and we let them possess us, we are letting go of our control over fear. When we face our fears and realize much of it comes of what we don’t know we can get a handle on them. Take the worse case scenario. Then take control and alter any part of that fear as foremost you can. We as humans want to win, we have desires and dreams and when we focus on these positive attitudes, sometimes the fear situation fades away. It takes care of itself. When you have inner peace with yourself through meditation, your mind becomes a peaceful place. Make it a habit to think positive. You diffinately need positive in MLM. It is what keeps the fire burning.

Some of the ways we can start making happiness a daily attribute is;

Change you outlook. When fear comes, quickly replace it with your perfect
day. This is a place in your mind that only you can go to. Even if it is imaginary, for you it is pleasant, it is serene, it is peaceful. Block out the negative. If you cultivate a habit of not focusing on fear, you will soon learn to instantly be able to react in a positive way. Those around you will feel your confidence, your enthusiasm and want to be around you.
Instead of thinking about the problem, think of solving those problems.
The T.V. and radio play a huge part of our lives. How about going on a 30 day Mental Cleanse. Shut off the T.V, forget the newspaper, and turn off the radio. What do you hear? Wow! Silence! How long has it been since you have been in the world of Silence? Kind of cool! You will discover you can think, you can actually become focused, honed in, zeroed in. The solutions that have been evading you will surface easily.
Every day devote some special time just for you. Thirty minutes, and hour is even better because you can go into you mind and think. How long has it been since you have been in a quite place, just you, yourself and listened to the ocean, or a breeze whispering through the trees, or stopped to smell the flowers, or picked up a kitten and looked into its eyes. Guys, this is heavy stuff. You need it too.

Everyday do something that makes you feel good. It does not have to be something big, something small, but significant to you. Buy a new book, a motivational book or tape, have an ice cream cone (only one). Each day do something for someone else. It can be a kind word, a smile, a hearty handshake. Let people know “I care”. With happiness bubbling over, you have just become a leader. A leader? Yes! People will want to be with you. They don’t care about the company you are with as long as they can be with positive, happy people, who are going places. They want to go where you are going, because you have given them a dream, a little light at the end of the tunnel that says “I can do this too!”

Always expect the greatest. Expect happiness. Smile. Walk down the street and smile at someone you do not know. Oh boy, the look on their face; it’s priceless!

I know what you are thinking, what does this have to do with network marketing. Everything, my friend! Everything. Take a look at some of the top leaders of companies. Oh sure, you will find the obnoxious reds, the bullies, the money hungry people out there. But take another look and you will see a “team” who together is working toward a goal and they are gaining, they are winning because happiness is a permanent attitude with them. They have nasty days. They have the down side of network marketing, but you would never know it. With persistence they move forward. Always, they move forward. Always they emanate happiness.

So, try the 30 Mental Cleanse. Try it for 2 days. Try it for 5 days. Then go 10 and before you know it you will have gone 30 days. Once you have done this for 30 days you will know a peace that passes understanding. Everything in your life begins to focus. You see the big picture. Now you will have created not only an attitude but a burning desire. It will overwhelm you. Let happiness, inner peace and yes, love, take your network marketing to the next level of success in network marketing.

See you on top!

Here is to your success.

Spice Up Your Living Space With Flowers

Filed under: Flowers — Administrator @ 4:06 pm

Abstract: Flower Pot
Tag:

Do-it-yourself home improvement is all the rage these days. Just
flip on the television and you’re sure to run across a program
to teach you everything from how to paint a room to how to
replace your shower stall. But, let’s face it, even if you make
those home improvements yourself, they can be quite costly. I’ve
got a great solution that’s far less expensive than a complete
home makeover–flowers!

When you think about homes you’ve been in that you found truly
appealing and welcoming, you probably noticed small touches that
you recognized as perfectly fitting the style and personality of
the person who lived there. Those small touches made that space,
no matter how big or small, belong to its occupants. Flowers can
do the same for you.

Depending on their color, type, and arrangement, flowers can
express anything and any style. Which of these fits you or the
mood you’d like your home to convey?

Soft and natural: Loose arrangements in bowls or vases
consisting of flowers of just one color or of many colors will
achieve a very natural feel. Calm: Scientific studies have
proven that the color blue produces a calming effect. Blues that
mimic the colors of the sea and sky incomparable achieve this feeling.
Sensational and spirited: Choose bright colors like orange, red,
and vibrant yellow. Outdoorsy: Combine flowers with seasonal
grasses, leaves, or branches in a basket or clay pot.

Your florist can help you to accomplish any look or mood you
desire. Even if your goal is just to fill up one of those large,
empty, awkward spaces in your home, your florist can help you
pick the perfect tall or full blooming shrub or arrangement of
branches.

There’s no need for you to put an enormous amount of thought
into exactly what you want in your floral arrangement, just what
you want from it. If you have a specific goal in mind and can
describe that goal to your florist, he or she can create exactly
what you need. There’s no need to provide details about which
flowers you want or even exact colors. Instead, talk to your
florist about your favorite colors and color themes in your
home. Ask to see pictures of floral arrangements and discuss
which ones match your style. Your florist can keep your likes
and dislikes on file. Then, you can arrange to have flowers
delivered at regular intervals so that your home always has your
personal touch.

Travel with Paul and Walter aroung the world

Filed under: Flowers — Administrator @ 12:01 pm

Abstract: Flower Garden
Tag:

THE CRACKER BOX INC. began in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as a craft shop, carrying many things: miniatures, dried flowers, doll house furniture/fixtures, braids, beads, filigrees, finished Christmas ornaments, specially designed wrapping papers, felt and materials by the yard, and lots of other items and, AT that TIME, of course, only a few original Christmas ornament KITS. However that changed: for the past 35 years Paul and Walter at the “Cracker Box” http://www.crackerboxkits.com have designed hundreds of the most beautiful Christmas Ornament kits in the world.
Through their designs you can travel the world with them and see the museums of Russia, the guards of the Tower of London, the mysterious dark jade colors of Japan, the sunset in Scandinavia and the world famous opera house in New York.
Wherever they travel throughout the world, Paul and Walter look at everything as an inspiration for an ornament design, from the crest on a ancient cloak to the jewels of a Russian Czar’s scepter— anything at all can possibly end up as a Cracker Box Christmas ornament kit. Once while traveling in Rio, a very provocative young stripper was performing for us. After a few requests by Walter, her husband agreed to allow us to photograph her g-string, which brought to life the ornament “Carnival in Rio”.
One night in Scandinavia we were walking around enjoying all the quiet scenery and the sun was just setting. We were amazed to find that it was almost midnight! As the sun kept going down, the shadows on the building changed the vibrant colors to very calming purples and lavenders now reflected into their design “Danish Sunset” http://crackerboxkits.com/danishsunset.jpg.

Every design has a story and currently they have over 223 wonderfully captivating trips for you to take with them. During the 35 years of doing this, we have received many wonderful comments from our customers that these gems have been handed down from generation to generation. They bring every one back to a simpler life as children with the memories of seeing these on “great grandma’s tree” and then “grandma’s tree” and “mom’s tree” while wondering when it will be their time to be able to have them adorning THEIR Christmas tree.
This is an addiction that is also traveling the world, having customers in Italy, Denmark, Japan, Germany, France and even the most unlikely of places— the Middle East. These beauties are not just hung up for Christmas and them placed away in a box until next yea– these wonders are placed in curio cabinets, hanging from chandeliers over the dining room table durning a family dinner, adorning the mantle in the family room, placed in a large picture window for all to see and enjoy the beauty.
A therapeutic hobby: taking the ornament from a simple ball to a finished work of art requires patience and sometimes a scream here and there, ” Paul, are you nuts!” . We have found from our customers that doing these has even helped deal with arthritis pain, and other ailments.
Following the instructions step by step and using their fingers and joints to create these works of art takes away their pain and suffering. We keep your mind so busy it helps to forget any ailment, knowing that when the last step is done, a feeling of satisfaction comes. This work of art is now done and ready for all to enjoy their accomplishments with friends and family.
