It's been an eventful week on the condo hunting front and not on the quilting front. We made an offer on Condo #3, the one with a room wired for a home theater system, security system and 1,950 square feet. When we looked at the prices again we realized the condo #3 was priced lower than condo #1. I'm not sure how we missed that, but we did.
On Wednesday we made an offer and then had to wait through Thanksgiving to see if our offer was taken. Yesterday a counter-offer came back higher than we are still willing to pay. So while DH and I were getting our couple's massage and pedicure we had time to think about the offer. We want this condo and will try one more counter offer to see if we can get the deal made.
Tomorrow we are going back to condo #1 for one more viewing. Our broker told us he received a call from the broker of the condo and they are willing to drop the price $5,000. However, they also learned the condo fees are going up $10 a month in January.
I did manage to spend quite a bit of time on Thursday and yesterday sewing Christmas gifts. However, today the packing panic set in. If our offer on the condo is accepted the closing is scheduled for December 21. That's only a little over a month away! We could be in our home for Christmas! With working over 40 hours a week and DH traveling one full week in December that doesn't leave a lot of time for packing and cleaning and everything else that comes with moving.
Sorry for lack of photos. Everything I'm making these days is for presents and I don't know who reads my blog so no photos. Tomorrow is the Christmas parade and I'll be sure take photos then to share. I'm also way behind on blog reading and commenting. I'm going to work on some of that right now.

good luck with your offer(s). The 21st is dd's bday- the big 18 this year *gasp* Does that make me old???? lol
goodluck and hope you get what you want for the right amount of money.......
Hope you can get the one you want, home theatre sounds fun for sports buffs. Tracey
Your post reminds me of one of those HGTV shows where the buyers look at three choices and then choose.............which one?????
How exciting (with a little bit of nail biting thrown in for good measure *s*) Hope you get the news you are looking for on the condo - all the rest will fall into place.
I hope you get the condo you want.
Oh boy, what a time to be moving house! I don't envy you.
I think a lot of blogs, mine included, are suffering from a lack of pictures for the same reason. We should all have a lot to show after Christmas!
