Day 29:: Long Post

I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry when I see that my garage video has been viewed 1,173 times on YouTube. AND I should have put a little more thought into, "if you see anything you can't live without, let me know... we might can work out a deal". It would take me 2 weeks just to reply to your comments and emails. Y'all are cracking me... you did hear me say that most of what you see came from the trash, right?

So, as much as I'd like to haul the stuff to UPS and ship it to you... or sell it to you and wait for you to come get it... I just don't know if I have it in me to arrange for such arrangements {for lack of a better word}. For now I will attempt to get out there and organize it and you will be hearing more about my progress... and I'll be sure to give you a date as to when the sale will be taking place so you can arrange for your husbands to keep your children so you can drive to Alabama to buy stuff at my garage sale that I found in the trash! I promise I won't tell your husbands.

But to answer some of your questions {those of you who are really really interested}:
- the headboard is a King
- the lamps are wooden & I haven't decided if I want to sell them... but I'm sure my husband will make me... if I do, they will be "made over"
- the picnic table... there are actually 2 of them and they too are being made over
- the wicker chairs... I'm just not sure what to do about them. They are real wicker, with some signs of wear, some dirt, but overall: FAIR condition
- the brown slip covered chair behind the wicker chairs will also be for sale

I'm thinking I can pull this sale off sometime in February... I'll keep you posted.

I also want to let you in on a little secret...

I bought 4 more ENORMOUS {about 12' x 4'} bulletin boards this morning to makeover and sell.... homeschoolers and those with playrooms... get excited! We have 2 that I covered with fabric and I absolutely LOVE them! If I can collaborate with Erika we might be able to use some fanstastic designer fabric! I'll let you know how I decide to go about the selling of these... they will not be sold in the garage sale.

Thank you for all your kind words about the pictures of JM. I do not know how I will choose. I've watched that slideshow at least 100 times and melt into a puddle each and every time. The girls have seen it a few times too...

Also, do you make ciniminis? If the answer is "no" let me change that to a "yes"...

1 can of refrigerated "crescent" rolls.

Unroll and pinch together the seams between the triangles {you'll be left with 2 rectangles}

Spread butter over your two rectangles.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Roll up.

Cut into ciniminis.

Bake on parchment paper according to directions on package... I think it's 375 for 8-10 mins.

Drizzle with icing.

Icing:

lots of powdered sugar

little bit of milk

dribble of vanilla

STIR.

The weekend is almost here!!!

ps- another post will follow with a list of people {mostly children} in need of prayer so that I can put a link on the sidebar...
