Soon I found myself not doing anything with my photographs. And that is just plain sad. Then I discovered Chatbooks photo books. *cue the angels … [Read more...]
10 Tips That Made my First Yard Sale a Success (and 3 things we could have done better)
This summer I had my very first major yard sale. I had sent a box or two of stuff to be sold at yard sales family members were having, but this was my first real yard sale. I have heard people complain again and again about how much work it takes to have a yard sale, which made me pretty nervous. Would I make enough money to justify the effort? Would I hate the whole process? Would I wish I had donated everything instead? I am pleased to report that I was thrilled with the outcome of my yard sale! In fact, I can't wait to have another one.
