    Default Had a yard sale this weekend!

    I havent been on at all this weekend until now. A friend of mine and I had a yard sale at my house. We each made around $300! I thought that wasnt too bad! School starts back tomorrow here so we have been busy today getting things ready! We were able to get some extra things for the girls that werent in the budget with our yard sale money!
