Let the fun begin!

This is what I'll be doing for the next few days....

getting rid of all this stuff! It's garage sale time!

Seriously, how much stuff can one family accumulate! Geesh!

Wish me luck...

Oh, and Mother Nature, if you just happen to be reading my blog today, can you please make all this rain in Illinois move on over to Texas where they want it!

Thank you!

I'm hooked!

I'm having a garage sale next week. Actually, a lot of people on our street are having a garage sale next week. (**If you are local, you'll want to make sure and stop by!**) And we do things a little differently here in my neck of the woods. The garages sales here start on Tuesday afternoons (usually 2-7 pm) to allow those who work to stop by and then resume on Wednesday mornings (usually 8am -12pm). It's a little crazy, but it works for us!

So I have been preparing, and currently my living room looks like this!

And it's driving me CRAZY!

As I have been going through things, there were some things that I wanted to sell, but didn't want "garage sale" prices for! So I listed those things on Craigslist. Never in a million years did I think I would sell the stuff so quickly! I was totally amazed. I guess I didn't realize that people checked Craigslist as often as they do. But it worked for me, and now I'm a little addicted!

The process is way easier than eBay. You can still post pictures of the item and then you don't have to worry one bit about the shipping. That is the part of eBay that I hate the most. With Craigslist, the people have to come and pick it up!

Andy keeps joking that about coming home to an empty house someday....he better be careful, or I might find some biking equipment to sell. **wink**

So what about you, have you sold or bought anything off Craigslist?

Still garage selling!

Yes, we have now moved all our left over garage sale stuff to the church. We are having a youth basement sale as a fund raiser for our youth group. Do you think we have enough stuff?!?!?! Oh, and this is just the main room, there are three other rooms, plus stuff outside! Yikes~hope we raise a lot of money for our young people.


We have found some pretty interesting items! It's been crazy, but we are trying to make it fun!

Garage Sale Fun!

Manic Monday!

Tidy it all up - Tuesday!

Weed-out and Wacky Weather Wednesday!

Garage sales are a LOT of work, but when you have great friends to enjoy the craziness with, it makes it so much better. Having a couple of wonderful, let me say it again, WONDERFUL girls willing to take our little people on what was probably the hottest day of the year was a lifesaver! Ashley & Brittney, Thank You so very very much!
We had a storm blow in too, which added to the excitement! So we gathered the stuff quickly and shut-down shop. We went in to the much cooler house to sip (or slam) much needed pink slushy drink! The sale continues this morning....oh I think I hear someone knocking on my door right now, gotta run!

Happy Wednesday!
