It’s October December, and I’ve been meaning to write about the garage sale my 9yo daughter suckered me into having in August. I’m sure I could turn it into a big long story, but in the interest of already not-so-perfect-anymore timing, I’ll just share. She wanted to have a garage sale. She thinks they’re fun. I tried to change the … [Read more...]
$110 Bucks Worth of Clutter!!!
Nony here: I loved this email from one of you. I'd love to hear what you have laying around waiting to be returned! Dear Nony, Let me start by saying....I am really bad about returning items. I (or hubby) will purchase things, get home, find they don't work for what we needed/don't like it, blah blah. So I'm just like, Oh well. Put it over … [Read more...]
How A Busy Mama Crafter Is Whipping the WIPs (in 5 Steps)

I'm working in … [Read more...]

Although my main focus for today is my post - Garage Sale Tips: From the Girl Who Knows Too Much, I knew that I had to do it.

Clear Out the Clutter Challenge
Two nights ago Money Saving Mom announced that she was going to do a "Clear Out the Clutter Challenge." Perfect, right? I mean, that's what I'm all about here at my blog. I have no lack of clutter, and I'm all about clearing it out. But then, the assigned area and linky went up last night. Last night after my daughter's birthday dinner. Last … [Read more...]
