We had our adoption garage sale this weekend!!
And it went GREAT. I sold EVERYTHING I had except for literally about 4 toys. People were so nice and asked very polite questions. It was so fun and we made $500!!!! I didn't think we had $500 worth of stuff but I guess we did! What a help this will be. Just had to share. The picture is of the poster I made that we hung at the sale.
Hugs

Congrats
Garage Sales are great (but alot of work)! We did one for Kassandra's adoption and are going to squeeze in one in September for Samantha's. We made over $1400 on Kassandra's. I love your poster! We put up picture's of Kassandra, but I am going to hijack your poster idea!

Poster
We are doing a lasagna dinner fund raiser Sept. 23 and we are doing posters. Since we do not have a referral yet we had decided to do a poster with information about Guatemala, one with information about the Guatemala adoption process, and one with questions and answers. We thought we could use the dinner as a fund raiser and educator at one time !
