Yard Sale - WOO HOO

So we are had a yard sale. Our neighborhood association is awesome and does a yard sale every year. The even advertise for it and stuff. Cool! Anyway I usually have a hard time parting with things, but if you have seen our basement - wow - we need no let go of A LOT of items. Since we bought our house our parents bring boxes of our things that we had stored at their homes. My mom brought totes and totes of old pictures, high school awards, old clothes, etc. and our basement is out of control..........

We are planning on finishing the basement to have more living space (hopefully within the next year) so we are really did our our best to put things on the yard sale. Now...for those of you that know me, you know that I like to be hyper organized and disorder stresses me out a bit - so trying to get ready for that yard sale was a major stress - but I have to say it was worth it in the end. About half of our things sold and we made more money that we anticipated. Plus all the neighbors that live on our particular street are doing another sale again in June so we may just put the things out that didn't sell again and see what happens!

Here are a few pictures of our stuff all out at the yard sale......

Here is the aftermath of what we didn't sell to be back on the market in June for round 2 of the yard sale.
