Yard Sale!

We had a yard sale this morning with our Bible Study to raise money with our church's MINA Project, which you can read about here http://www.gethope.net/Mina2008.htm. So to multiple our money by 8, which is the goal but anything is good, we decided to do a yard sale. We asked for donations and had a good amount of stuff donated. To those of you that donated, thank you, thank you, thank you! Surprisingly, STARBUCKS donated a HUGE thing of coffee and lots of goodies, cake, brownies, etc. Which we sold and they were very popular items. The bear claws were yummy! We also had Krispy Kreme, because we had no idea Starbucks would throw in all the food. That was of course popular. Well our sale was a success!! We ended up making over $400 for the cause!!! Andy and I were totally shocked at how many people came and how much we sold. We still are selling Krispy Kreme Partnership Cards, which are awesome! With these cards you get 10 buy one get one free dozens! The card only cost $12, so you essentially are getting 8 free dozens of Krispy Kreme doughnuts with that price. These are great for work, school, MOPS, church or holiday parties. There is NO expiration date and you can use them at any KK store where the doughnuts are made. So if anyone wants one let me know or if you just want to make a donation to our MINA project then that would be great too! We have until October 25th to make money, so we will have the cards until then.

Below are some pictures are our event!

This is me and our totally packed with stuff living room at about 6:00 this morning. Notice how terrible I look, because our alarm did not go off and we just happened to be awakened by a child that wet the bed at 6, just when everyone was to arrive! I barely remember this pic being taken because I had not yet had my coffee.



Here are our items! The weather was great. A little muggy, but at least it didn't rain.

Ryan, who did a great job of collecting money and selling food!

And baby C, who had several big offers!
