Purging and Yard Sales

Our church had a yard sale to benefit the quizzing team.  They are going to California in July for finals and they need close to $1000 per person.  They have been doing different types of fundraisers throughout the spring and early summer, the latest one, a huge yard sale.

I don't usually do yard sales because I don't feel like we have good enough stuff to sell and most of the time I would rather just give my stuff away, however when I heard about this one I started going through my whole house just to see what things we could donate to it.

I ended up having a car full of stuff, old books, kids clothes, clothes that no longer fits me, lots of  toys that were in great condition and kids books.  I'm happy to say most of our stuff sold on the very first day and it made the team close to $100!!! Not bad!!

Of course the thing I liked the best about it was purging my house of all this extra stuff.  Especially the kids' rooms and the basement! It is a great start to my home organizing summer!
