Wow there was a lot of reading this week!  I went on vacation to FL and apparently I have some catching up to do!!!!  Thanks for the update.

07/07/2008 10:21 AM by Melissa Marro www.StagingAndRedesign.com www.RedesigningCharleston.com (First Impressions)


Hello Yvonne, thanks once again for a great week in review.  Looks like I'm going to need to schedule some time to tackle this list.

07/07/2008 10:24 AM by Gary Barnett Home Matters, Home Stagers, Indianapolis (Home Matters)


I had no idea I had missed so much!  ThX, Thx, Thx!  So I am really busy and I appreciate you taking the time to feature these awesome posts -- do you have time to read them to me?

Guess not . . .

You are the great and mighty SIFTER!

 

07/07/2008 01:43 PM by Karen Dembsky, Atlanta Home Staging (Peachtree Home Staging LLC, Home Staging in Atlanta, GA)


Where oh where do you find the time to do this Miss Yvonne? Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us all!

07/07/2008 03:27 PM by Karen Otto, Collin County, Plano, TX Home Stager (Home Star Staging)


Melissa, Yes, young lady! There is a ton of reading for you to catch up with -- get busy. I promise, you will enjoy!

07/07/2008 04:04 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Yes, Mr Gary! There were a lot of people with a lot of great posts this week. I'm sure you will find some great nuggets to savor. Have fun!

07/07/2008 04:05 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Karen D, the great and mighty sifter has had a blast sifting this week. You will have fun looking through the ones you missed. Get ready to spend some time at it though.

07/07/2008 04:07 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Karen O, Thank you for your kind comment! Now that you asked -- I can't find the time to do this -- that is one reason it was late. Sorry. As a matter of fact, I sent notice to Craig today that I will not be able to keep up this fun job for a while. I hope to be able to do some "guesting" now and then down the road, but for now, I'm off the fast track of monitoring and SIF WIR for a while. I'm sad, but it will be for the best. It is great to be busy; right?

07/07/2008 04:12 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Yvonne, I've been busy this week also and missed a lot of these. I'm sure this takes a lot of time. We will miss your WIR, but we understand. Thanks for all you and others do for SIF.

07/07/2008 04:56 PM by Donna Schoby, Ready, Set, Stage! Fayetteville, AR (Ready, Set, Stage! Serving Northwest Arkansas)


Yvonne ~ What a cornucopia you have given us!  I didn't realize until I saw you put them together just how many posts there were with questions in the title.  Many excellent posts this week! Glad to hear you are busy! 

07/07/2008 05:08 PM by Kathy Passarette, L.I. Staging/Decorating (Creative Home Expressions)


Donna, thank you for the thanks. It has been fun and I don't want to give up the fun. But, I guess it is time for someone else to get in on the excitement. Thanks for commenting!

07/07/2008 07:18 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Kathy, yes, there do always seem to be a number of "?s" in so many of our posts. Does that say something about us? (Crazy joke; huh?) And, it is good to be busy! Thanks for dropping in!

07/07/2008 07:21 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Great list Yvonne. I am always grateful to be included. I love when you post the week in review. It gives me, and I imagine a lot of other people, the chance to catch up on what we might have missed. Thank you for taking the time.

07/07/2008 08:03 PM by Michelle Minch Home Staging Pasadena & Los Angeles, CA (Moving Mountains Design Home Staging, Pasadena, CA)


I am glad you had time for this last post. I found information to use that I had missed. Sorry to hear you won't be taking on this role in the future. I just found you and now you are gone. :(

07/07/2008 08:30 PM by Michelle Finnamore CSP & Live Green, Live Smart Certified Trainer (Advantage Staging - Preparing your property for sale.)

Hello there Yvonne-good to be busy, but I am soooo going to miss your wisdom and knowledge here in the rain!!! When you decide to teach-let me know and I will enroll and be there!! Forever grateful, CL 

07/07/2008 10:02 PM by Cathy Lee ASP (CL Design Services Home Staging)

Michelle Minch, Thanks for stopping in for a look-see and for your kind words. It has been loads of fun doing the week in review. Now it will be fun to see what others come up with.

07/08/2008 08:30 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Michelle F, You are too kind. Yet, you are still stuck with me. I'll still be posting and commenting but I won't be monitoring and compiling the Week in Review. It is fun watching your consice posts loaded with great information -- I can't leave yet. :)

07/08/2008 08:34 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Yvonne - you have a great way of corraling these themes...thanks for including me!  Julie

Virginia, it is fun to see what all is happening each week; isn't it? Having your post included is fun also. Glad you made it!

07/08/2008 09:00 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Cathy, I'm still around for the long run. It is so cool to hear you say you will be there when our business takes a turn to the "business enhancement mode." We are in the planning stages now. Cool?

07/08/2008 09:03 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Listen here Miss Karen D, I'm still haning out in the Rain -- being silly -- learning -- sharing and all that jazz. You will see me sifting other ways now. I couldn't leave you.

07/08/2008 09:05 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Sheron, we always aim to please. It is so cool that you like it. I'm flattered. Way cool. THANKS!

07/08/2008 09:06 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Jennie, thank you for commenting. It has been an exciting ride to work with the monitoring and the WIR and now I'm off to other adventures -- still here in the Rain.

07/08/2008 09:09 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Terrylynn, Like you, I believe that when we are helping our fellow stagers we are helping ourselves. Thank you for always being so supportive!

07/08/2008 09:11 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Julie, thank you for the kind comment! Your word, "corraling" is a great one. You are right; sometimes these wild and crazy; helpful and thoughtful; fun and exciting posts simply need to be corraled. Cool!

07/08/2008 09:15 AM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)


Wow, I don't know where you found the time to do this for us, but I sure appreciate it. Thank you. Good stuff!

Justine and Keisler, thank you! You do indeed sound like an unstoppable team. That is wonderful!

07/08/2008 05:04 PM by Yvonne Root Northern Arizona Home Stager (rooms b.y. root)
