Junk Out 2010 - a day in which we SOLD!
I have been piling a few things up in my basement since I started this Junk Out 2010! weekly link party by An Ordinary Mom.
See the "Give, Sell, Toss!" definition in the graphic? That is exactly what we did today. I have been tossing as I come across something that is obviously trash in the main rooms of the house as I work. I have also been piling up a few things, like I mentioned, in my basement. And, my Mom has been sorting through many things in her house that used to belong to my Granny.
We decided to hold a garage/yard sale at the end of Spring Break to catch the beginning of the sale-ing season knowing we will probably be holding more than one this year. She got her stuff together, I got my stuff together, and we got a few items pitched in from other extended family members. It was also the perfect weather for being outside - a sunny 70 degrees with white fluffy clouds. It looked much like this, thank you, Jesus, I really needed that!
Here is what our sale looked like this morning.
Pictures from Granny's house.
My Granny's trinkets that gave birth to more trinkets.
Desks, side tables, and wine racks.
Beds and kidlet toys.
My OLD dining set.
No estate-type sale would be complete without one of these crocheted chair cushions now would it?
And, here is what our sale looked like around 2pm this afternoon. (Notice the crocheted chair cushion still looking for a home.)
Along the way, as I was bringing out the many pictures that my Granny had put in boxes when she moved into my Mom's house, I found this gem.
About 15 years ago my Granny went through this phase where she was labeling everything in her home to go to people she wanted to have her things. See the tag at the top of that frame? Anyone want to guess who this cutie pie 4 year old is? Yeah, I brought it home - along with some other family pictures that I will show in a separate post.
My Mom made some $$$, I made some $$$, we only had this much to take to the giving center,
and we all went out for dinner! It was a busy, productive, and fun-filled day.
We are already scheduling our next venture for a Saturday in May. We both still have plenty more where this all came from, especially if we are going to cash in again, WOWSERS!

You have a new BFF...
I love getting messages. I got a "cool phone" about a year ago and I LOVE! IT! It tells me everything I need to know plus even more stuff that I didn't even know I wanted to know - but now I do!
For example, I learned how to text. **Should I be proud of myself for this accomplishment or not? Let me know in the comments.** This phone made it so much simpler to do. And, it has a keyboard, which means I don't have to know how many times to push each number for my desired letter. (How texting caught on with those dinosaurs, I'll never know!)
Secondly, my "cool phone" has the internet and subsequently an e-mail account linked to it. I needed this phone because I am a business woman. I need to know when someone from my website asks me a question or orders something, right? If I am out buying groceries then I can still reply and it makes it look like I am at work all day long, right? And, if I get an order then I know that I have to schedule a trip to the post office as well. Those actions in and of themselves are great reasons to get a "cool phone."
I also found out that I could forward many alerts to be sent to my phone's e-mail address. Like when someone works on my farm in Farm Town or someone leaves me a tip in Cafe World or when someone comments on one of my blogs (Yes, I have two of them).
**Free gift to the person who finds and tells me where my other blog is.**
And, even more importantly, when I get a new BFF. You see, these people at the Blog Frog (They help people with blogs and common interests link up with each other) came up with this genius idea. Not only can you follow someone's blog, their Twitter, or be their friend or fan on Facebook, you can now also follow other people's profiles on, you guessed, the Blog Frog.
I didn't think much of it at first when I got the notice a few weeks ago. I have been kind of busy with family and trying to make something of my business. But then I started getting these phone notifications that show the subject line of the message being sent. These e-mails from the Blog Frog say, ".....is now your BFF." "....is now your BFF." ".....is now your BFF." Get the idea yet? Yes, I realize that when I read the detailed message that these people are now just my "Blog Frog Friend," but it kind of makes a girl feel good. I think I'll look at one of those messages again - because I just got another alert.
Yea! I have a new BFF!
And now, all you lovely BFF's can see who my other BFF's are on my left sidebar when they read my blog. If I get enough I might start a community. What do ya'll think?
Note: No, I was not paid by anyone to write this meager advertisement. But, if either T-Mobile or the Blog Frog wants to pay me - who am I to turn you away? And, Yes, this really is a giveaway post. Better look through this post again to find out all the questions you have to answer to win. You have until Friday night. Because I am going to post the winner on Saturday morning with my Junk Out! post. It could be you!

Junk Out 2010
This blog carnival is sponsored by Ali at An Ordinary Mom. Junk Out 2010 is a pledge to get organized and either give, sell, or toss items that are no longer helpful to you in the process.
A day late...and...sort of...a dollar short.
But, better late than never, right?
I have been working on getting the junk managed and/or out of the house. I have cleaned my bedroom, private bathroom, the back porch next to my kitchen, and kept my "mail boxes" - and by that I mean "boxes of mail" down to one tiny crate. (That one may not seem light a big thing, but I had like 4 good size boxes filled with mail and paperwork to be completed at one time.)
I am working on the pictures still and will post them soon. We are also planning a yard sale next weekend. I'll post about it next week as well. I just wanted my friend to know today that I am still working on my junk too.
Yesterday, we went to Chicago to kick off our Spring Break! Thus, the reason for the dollar short today. Actually, it's more than a dollar - but that's not really important, right?
A post about our trip is also upcoming.
