For the last week or so, I have been going through the kids' old clothes. I was holding on to quite a bit of it. I was able to collect over 100 items of clothing, some children's toys and decor, and my winter maternity clothes to take to the local consignment sale. I usually just took everything to Goodwill, but since I had the time I decided to try the consigning thing. I priced things pretty low so hopefully a lot of it will sell. What doesn't sell, I am donating. I don't need to keep any of this stuff! I had a fun time organizing everything. I still have lots of totes downstairs of clothes for the boys to wear, larger sizes for the girls, and some clothes I just can't part with. I still took 2 garbage bags to Goodwill and have a large tote for the spring sale. I like having these projects to do now that I am home. It keeps me busy and keeps the clutter out of the house. I will keep you posted on the next project. It all depends how much I make from the sale. I have an idea on how to organize all these kids' books!
All boxed up and ready to go!
This Bumblebees and Ladybug Sale is amazing. It is out at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds. The lady in charge posted that there are over 22,000 items at the sale this year. It has grown quite a bit since Karen first took me when we first came to Kearney. I get to go tonight before the sale tomorrow since I am donating everything. I saw some Spiderman clothes and costumes. I think I am going to get started Christmas shipping!

I am pleased with the results of the consignment sale. I sold over half of my items and most of them before the 50% discount time period. My maternity stuff didn't go well only 5 of my 20 items. I was tempted to buy some back but didn't. It would be a miracle if we got pregnant again if you know what I mean so I don't need the stuff. Tony said my maternity clothes (and probably all of my clothes) aren't the best anyway. Plus, these were all donated to the SAFE Center or other charities where ladies would benefit from them.
So I made a good profit even after I went shopping myself. I am now going to start looking into my book organization project.
