    Our Garage Sale

    April 18, 2011 |

    Here are some pictures from our garage sale, some taken from my sister-in-law. You can totally tell which ones are mine, haha!

    It was cold and rainy, but I’m happy that we had the crowd we did! Overall, it went well. Some things didn’t sell I thought would go right away, and we still had to bring a large load to Goodwill.

    I didn’t make as much as other years (by a lot), but:

    1.) I didn’t buy as much as last year, so I didn’t have as much to sell. That’s more money I SAVED!

    2.) I didn’t have to haul as much to Goodwill, or back to my house (a half a van load, last year was two FULL van loads)

    3.) 3 big pieces of furniture sold. That’s a ton of room I gained!

    4.) I’m almost DONE organizing and clearing out around here.

    4.) That stuff is no longer in my house.

    5.) I couldn’t be happier!!!!!!!

    6.) …I made money!

    Here’s the trip I made to Goodwill for Bonnie and I:

    Five bags of my stuff right there. About 10 other things that didn’t fit in a bag. That is AWESOME!

    Minus sitting in the freezing cold rain, I’d say this year’s garage sale was a HUGE success!

    Are you getting ready for a garage sale?

    Did you already have yours?

    Any tips for my readers?
