Our garage sale {day one}

Well, day one of our garage sale is over and it was a huge success! We were open from 7am - 3pm and we only had one person who came a bit early. It didn't take long for the crowd to gather ...


My aunt and two lovely ladies from her work had a bake sale with baked goodies, drinks and snacks. People loved it! Maddie and Ella also had a lemonade stand ... both were a huge success! My sister, Kristie, and my cousin, Debby, made tshirts that said "Help us bring baby Addison home from Russia" for everyone working the garage sale ... it was such a great idea because people knew exactly where to go with questions ...

Thank you SO much to my mom, Kristie and Casey {thank you for making the signs, too!}, Shay and Jeremy, Jodi and Shea, Sherry and Tom, Melinda, Dorothy and Debby and the girls for all your help today and in setting up for our garage sale ... there is no way I could have done this without you!

Oh, one other thing ... I'm sure you are wondering just how successful our garage sale was? Well, we made about $2,000 ... isn't that awesome?!
