Anyone who knows what garage sales CAN be like, here is the list of miracles:
- The weather was amazing, very sunny and warm.
- We had tons of stuff to sell, thanks to so many wonderful, generous friends.
- We had so much help! THANK YOU ALL!!
- People were friendly, cordial even, and rather than haggling down every price, actually rounded up quite a few times!
- Have I mentioned that people were friendly?
We exceeded our goal - I wanted to sell at least $500 worth of stuff, and the total tally is $751.15 - YAY!
I also still have a few items that I am going to try to sell on Craigslist and eBay for a few weeks, and we donated lots of items to Open House Ministries (a shelter).
Again, a big huge THANK YOU to everyone who shopped, helped, and donated items! It wouldn't have been possible without you!!!
That is AWESOME!!!! So glad it went so well for you!! If you think about it, please pray for our garage sale on the 17th and 18th. We're hoping to rock the house, too! Did you make any signs saying what you were using the money for or anything? SO awesome!!! :D

@Lindsey, YES we made a big orange sign that I hung above the garage that said "Adoption Fundraiser" and then I made a smaller one that I hung at eye level that had a map of Africa with Ethiopia highlighted, and some stats about Ethiopia on it, as well as a few pics of Ethiopian children.
