Moving the Mess - Speed Style

Get up early enough in the morning and you might find one of these friends in your yard! I saw this little lady twice this week while doing my insanely quick yard sale.


Sooo... Three Days of Clearing the Clutter, Tossing the Trash, and Moving the Mess resulted in …

Wait for it…..

Because it’s worth it…

One truckload of garbage to the Dump…

And I made goal on my Garage Sale. Which means, I probably sold another truckload worth of stuff. To the fantastic tune of…

$198.55. Wahoo!

Beware good citizens of Forks, WA because Twilight obsessed Fawndear is on her way.

I had some awesome friends who loaned me some of their clutter to sell for them as well so it looked like we were a house worth stopping and shopping at. DaringYoungMom even braved my hoards of kids to sit and yak with me Saturday while we moved more money-making junk.

The only hitch was Hope. It seems like Friday while T-rev was in charge of the munchkins in the house, Hope confiscated a marker and…

And…

Yep, she even got my sheets this time around.

That and she literally fought some customers over toys they were considering purchasing. Or she was playing with toys my friends brought over to sell. One way or another she kept me on my toes with her speed mess-up whirlwind.

It’s o.k. because we knew just where to have her take her time-out.

Kidding of course, don’t call CPS.

So I cleared a lot of clutter but I made a mess while doing it. So my De-clutter dream is still alive and kicking with all that less clutter to work with. Whew!

By the way I would never recommend pulling together a garage sale in less than four days. Too much freak-out moments to blog about. Just say no. Take your time, price it out and do it right. For me it was worth it because it's making two dreams possible in one shot.
