WINTER GETAWAY

Every year (meaning this year and last year) *smile* my husband Tim and I have a tradition...we go away before Christmas. To choose where we go the conversation usually goes a little like this “where is it most likely snowing right now?”

Last year the location of choice was a cute little town Leavenworth, Washington where we were greeted with SNOW and lots of it! It was beautiful. The streets were all lit up and Christmas music was playing in the streets. We went for breakfasts at a cute little crepe café and for a sleigh ride at a local farm.


(Obviously. We always have to throw in a little “farm” wherever we go)





We did some exploring and found some BEAUTIFUL spots.





Tim visited the candy store. (He’s a 5 year old in a 26 year old body)



And we visited some of the gift shops. We found some hilarious ornaments and just HAD to show you *grin*. You can’t tell me this isn’t the best ornament you’ve ever seen right?

This year we booked a last minute trip up to beautiful Whistler BC. The thought of a long journey was not appealing as we just moved a couple days before plus a couple of my clients were up there the previous week and said there was lots of snow.


As you know this is the pre-requisite. So we booked it! We picked up a good ol’ ginger bread latte and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. When we arrived in whistler however we were greeted with the view of the pavement. That’s right….. NO SNOW. We had a little pitty party for about 1 min but we didn’t let this ruin the mood. We cranked Mariah Carey Christmas and a little Michael Buble and sat in front of the fire for the last 3 days.



Ahhhh…. So good.

Do you have any favourite places to visit during the holiday season?

My Christmas Tradition

It's that time again! 

    Every year I have a tone of fun putting together my "christmas card" to you. It seems to have become one of my christmas traditions and I received a few emails through out the last month wondering if it was going to arrive. With my husband Tim and I moving a week ago things came together a little later this year. But it's here! I just got out of the studio. 
 
   My inspiration? Well.... it doesn't seem to look like we're going to get a white christmas this year BUT that doesn't mean we still can't DREAM for one so.........   sit back, relax, and be sure to get your whistle ready! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and an incredible 2012! I look forward to serving you, your friends, and family in the coming year.

Santa's Coming Early This Year!

It's that time of year again and who doesn't like presents?

With that in mind I have created just the opportunity for you! Through the months of December and January, if you refer someone to me who's interested in buying or selling anytime in the New Year (2012) than you will receive a... $350 gift card for the store of your choice when they move into their new home.(Home Depot - Costco - Future Shop - or Harrison Hot springs Resort)

Now you may be wondering, “So what exactly do I have to do?”

While you’re out and about over the next few months with co workers, friends and family, be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for anyone who is considering moving in the near future.

All you need to do is have your friends or family call me and mention your name. Or the best way is to call or send me their name and number and I'm happy to contact them. You can reach me at lacey@homeswithlacey.com or 604-910-LACE(5223).

EVERY successful referral receives this gift from me and there is NO limit on how many referrals you can give. You can even refer yourself if you like! Perhaps this gift could pay for that power tool you’ve had your eye on, or you can take you're loved one to Harrison? The choice is yours!

This promotion only runs until January 31, 2012.


Also! Be sure to check out and LIKE the new facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Homes-with-Lacey/243464939023796.
You'll find mortgage rate updates, current and time sensitive information on the market and a little bit about me personally may sneak onto the page every once in a while.


All the best this Christmas Season. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Lacey

PS: My current business has been built up to approx 80% referral based. This is because of the many people who have entrusted me with the care of their friends and family over the years. I look forward to meeting your friends and family and offering the same high level of service to them. Thank you for your support.
