The SUO challenge blog this week called for FUN FLOWERSÂ…..and that's a little outta my comfort zone -I like to make SERIOUS flowersÂ….. you can read all about it tomorrow - on my blog at www.karenbarberstamps.blogspot.com - but it won't post until 5:00 am tomorrow. Basically it's the story about how our house finally did sell and it looks like if all goes smoothly, we will close on our house on July 3rd and move into the new house which we will close on in the afternoon of July 3rd, so like go from one closing to the other. We decided to step out on faith last Sept when we listed our house in order you sell it and buy another one where it's all on mostly one floor and my mom could move in with us so we could help her more. We didn't even know if it's what God wanted for sure so we asked him to open and close doors for us, and here we areÂ…Â…ready for him to literally close and open doors for us. We are happy and we are sad. Love my house, but I am sure we can make another house a home. Okay, happy Tuesday everyone!

Wow! Love this bright and happy card, with its punny saying surrounded by flowers. Congrats on the sale and purchase (in that order--on the same day! Yikes!)

I like your fun flowers, and the design of this card. Congrats on selling your house. You and your family will make many more memories in the new house. It will only take a few weeks, and it will feel like home. TFS

Wonderful card Karen covering all of the colours - and a great sentiment too. Congrats on your forthcoming changes. I did the sale/purchase thing in one day, what I found was while the sale went off without a hitch, the purchase took forever to get registered and the moving van was sitting in front of the new house with the ticker running!! My pocket book took a hit big time and I learned a valuable lesson.
