Garage sale

So...the garage sale. No more than two weeks ago my mother in law suggested I do a garage sale to fundraise for my trip. May is a busy month for everyone so we had to do it quick...it was yesterday. I was absolutely shocked by the amount of donations that rolled in and the willingness of people to help. I am so thankful. The garage sale items took up approximately 1/6 of Donna's garage (we had it at her house cause our house isnt a good "garage sale" house). When we started to unpack the stuff on Friday night, it's like the stuff multiplied. So after just a few hours of sleep, we woke up Saturday to beautiful weather and eager garage-salers. Becky shocked me with her mad-skills. I think she needs to open a shop! It began to get really hot and we closed shop around noon. The grand total was a whopping $778! Then Donna called me and told me that one of her neighbors son's, who bought some midevil looking swords, came back by her house and dropped off another $20 dollars. He said he went home and felt like God told him to bring more. SO the garage sale put me $800 dollars closer to my May 22nd deadline...other contributions this weekend took me $50 dollars above it! One more deadline to go! Wooh! Needless to say...I failed to wake up this morning...garage sales are tiring! Thank you so much to everyone who helped out!!!
