We had a VERY busy weekend!! We spent all day Friday getting our garage sale stuff sorted and folded so that Saturday morning we could be ready to go. In addition to our garage sale, we had a produce stand along side, where we sold our homegrown veggies, homemade jams and pickles and our handmade ornaments! Adam began getting everything out onto the lawn at 6:00 am, and within minutes, people were already making purchases! It was CRAZY! It was a lot of work, but the day turned out to be a HUGE success! We made $1,487!!! PLUS, we still have some "big ticket" items that we have posted on craigslist! God has completely blessed us, and we are AMAZED!!
We could not have gotten thru the day without the help of our family and friends. Thank you so much; Jim and Sandy, Art and Briana, and Sarah!! You guys are AWESOME! ALSO, we want to thank everyone who donated to our garage sale! What a HUGE blessing you have been to us!
Along with Friday being "garage sale" busy, we also had our dossier that we really wanted to get submitted. We needed to have our last form notarized, and then Adam had the HUGE job of sorting everything, copying everything (four times) and then sorting it all again, and making sure that each and every piece that was needed was actually there and correct. Somehow, we got it all done, and mailed off our dossier Friday afternoon around 1:00. Hopefully it will arrive at our agency in Virginia on Monday!
So, now that our dossier is complete, we begin the wait!
We are thrilled that our paper chasing is behind us, and that we are also thru with our garage sale. We are only just beginning to think about our next fundraiser (in September), but we are pretty sure it will include our homegrown tomatoes again, as well as some homemade marinara!:)
