*The flyers we posted.
*Us by our signage. Nick can never take a normal picture....
*Our yard sale from the sidewalk. We had a table and boxes set up on our lawn too.
We decided to set our yard sale goal a
bit high ($800), because we wanted to stretch our expectations for the sale and
see what our God could do. Even though we had a few big items, we
lacked quite a bit of smaller/regular yard sale items. Still, we ended up
raising $788! Woohooo! The money made from the yard sale will be
directed to helping pay for the rest of the home study program
(approximately $1700 due).
I just want to take a moment and
recognize all of the wonderful friends that Nick and I have made in
Baltimore. Thank you for your donations of items, time, and money! A
special thanks to Brian and Victoria for all of the wonderful items that you
donated for the yard sale. Ashley, with your bottles of water and baked cookies,
you were at the yard sale in spirit. Dan, for lending us the table that helped
keep our yard sale items off the wet ground as well as the items you donated. A
large thanks to all our friends that came out and supported us by buying items
and donating to our cause: Angela, Kimi, and Jon.! Everything that
you all did helped make it a big success, and it would not have been the same
without you. Thank you so so much! And of course, a sincere thank you to all
our neighbors that stopped by and contributed to the success of our yard sale.
The first meeting with our social
worker will be this Friday. We will be going over all the necessary
documentation required by the agency to go ahead with our adoption. Our home
study has official begun!
Elise have you thought about doing the bake sale at church yet.
ReplyDeleteYes, we will probably do something after summer is over. :)
