Yard Sale success!

My first ever yard sale was a success. I of course didn't get rid of everything, but lots went. Unfortunately there was lots more still left. The boys were excited because they made some money as well. I've had some success at selling items on KSL as well. I even found a website that will buy books...i think it's called sellyourbooks.com or something like that. My brother gave me an idea for a lemonade stand during the sale. It was ok, but the novelty wore off after a while. They had fun. I didn't want to take pictures of the mess, too embarrassing.?!

In for a month!!




Well we have been in our new house for a month. Unpacking is still an ongoing project, but every day is a few less. I'm having a yard sale this week to help in the dejunking process. I've also sold a few items on KSL--all within a week's time. Since moving in the dogs have escaped twice, and the horse once. The cats seem just fine in the neighborhood; they haven't run off. The boys have had lots of fun riding around, playing with friends and doing everything they can to avoid helping organize the house. I don't know what I would do if I had to work right now. I'm excited to put my craft room together, but it's not a necessity right now. We have roses in many colors, but not RED-which is ok with me. In the spring, we had a rainbow of tulips including dark purple and pink. We have a fountain in the back yard, that we discovered had a rock wall surrounding it. There were weeds growing all over it and we didn't know there was so much rock. These photos are of our living room... come for a visit.
