My TRASH...Their TREASURE!!!

Yesterday, I finally had my garage sale. I've been planning to have one since last summer but just kept putting it off. All of you that have had a garage sale know that it's a lot of work...so at 8 months pregnant, I picked the perfect time to have mine. Ya, not really! I am still sore from bending and lifting. Anyway, as I was organizing all my stuff I was wondering if it was worth the trouble?! Would it be worth my time and effort? Would anybody even show up? Was it going to be too cold or rainy? Was it too late in the year?
All my questions were answered by the end of the day while I was feeling really good about myself and the effort I had put into every thing. My garage sale had been super successful. I made over 200 dollars on stuff that I never wanted to see again(especially after our recent move)!! It was mostly little things too. My most expensive item was a stroller that I sold for 50 bucks. So instead of donating the left over stuff, I am planning to have another garage sale in the spring after I accumulate more junk :) and not while I'm 8 months pregnant.

Wow beth I am impressed with the money from just stuff you wanted to get rid of. I should do one but am too lazy, so you kids will have to do one after we die. Sorry

That's awesome that you got that much money! I'm impressed. I would have just given up and donated, I'm lazy.

I love having garage sales it's amazing what people will pay for your junk. I'm glad they liked your stuff.

I love garage sales. Jared won't let me take anything to the trash or DI, he wants to save it for a garage sale. We end up keeping alot of junk. But, it's an easy way to make money!
