Yard Sale


I have been preparing for my first Yard Sale for a little over a week now. I called out of work yesterday because I wasn't feeling so well, and took the time then to go threw some of the stuff I was preparing to sell on Saturday. Let me tell you, I didn't realize how much time & effort it takes to prepare for a yard sale! My husband & I have been planning ways to come up with money, & thought this would be perfect. I am actually selling all of Hunter's clothes, swing, toys, etc., besides of course the things that mean the most to us. I have a few things of ours we're going to try selling too. It seems like everyone we have told about selling his baby stuff tells us we shouldn't. Because once we've sold it, I'll end up pregnant again. Good grief, I would hope not! At least let us enjoy our first baby boy! :) I hope we don't get jinks, ha.

I have most of everything tagged with prices, I just have one more bin of clothes to go threw & I should be done. I made Yard Sale signs last night to put up this evening. I'm praying we will have a great success in selling most of it.

Whatever money we come up with will be all for Hunter's birthday! I'm ordering his party supplies off Web today & I can't wait for it to arrive. This is just so exciting planning for his birthday party.

We went to the tractor store yesterday evening & saw the perfect shirt for me to where for Hunter's party. Since he will be wearing his John Deere shirt, & I told everyone else if they had one to wear it. I bought me a green shirt with wording in the front that says, " Will Trade Husband for Tractor", ha, is that not cute! :) My husband didn't care too much for it, but I didn't see why not!

This is what else we ran into that Hunter thought was the perfect gift daddy could ever get him for his 1st Birthday. Or would it be Daddy's?!?

Yea Right! Maybe in your future dreams son! :)

I hate yard sales!!!!! Too much work and I am not one to haggle prices. I don't like things like that..my husband loves them but they make me cringe :) I'm weird I know!

I hope you all make a TON of money at the yard sale! It sounds like you have certainly put a lot of effort into it!

I think the John Deere birthday theme is such a cute idea. LOVE the shirt too! I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Good luck with your yard sale. I'm sure you'll do just fine and make plenty of money. I have had two and one was actually held at my house and it was so nice getting rid of all our junk, lol. Have a great weekend.
