UWP Commerical - Europe

I was clicking around on YouTube and found this awesome commercial for UWP. I'd never stumbled across it before and loved the message it delivered. This apparently airs throughout Europe to promote the program. How cool!

Garage Sale Update!

Well, we successfully held another weekend of garage sales last week...Sept. 6-8, but we hit a HUGE snafu. A Douglas County Zoning Commissioner showed up to our sale on Thursday around 1pm and told us a neighbor filed a formal complaint with the county stating we'd had too many sales. WHO KNEW there was a limit on having sales? We didn't! We were shocked, and I was honestly in tears over the fact that ALL of my hard work was all for naught. I can't even begin to describe how many hours I've put in to organizing all of these sales, and now I couldn't even complete my fundraiser! What a nightmare!

Anyway, I snapped some pictures of our sale (round #2) so everyone could see JUST how much stuff we had for sale! I thought our sales in July were huge, but those sales have NOTHING on what we put out last weekend. We had so much stuff I was literally telling my mom to STOP bringing stuff out! We just didn't have room!

I would also like to pat myself on the back, again, because so many people walk up and go, "WOW!!! You guys know how to garage sale!" or "This is HANDS DOWN the most organized garage sale I've EVER been to!" or "This sale is unbelievable! Props to you for such a great set up!" etc, etc, etc. What can I say? I'm a STRONG Type A personality who really likes to organize! =) My mom is still convinced the job "professional garage-saler" is in my future. Ha!

Thank you, again, to everyone who has been so generous in their donations and support! I could not do this without you!

On Your Mark...Get Set...Garage Sales Round #2!!!

The time has come. Everyone in the Polete household has been gearing up for another epic month of garage sales! Our house has been bursting at the seams with all the donated items we've obtained in the last month...so much so that our 3-car garage is no longer a proper place to park our 3 vehicles. No, no, no, silly! The garage is for all of our merchandise! The cars are parked on the driveway! haha. We've literally filled up all three spaces and barely have room to walk anymore. Plus there's a huge stash still inside. I'm actually quite terrified thinking about how we're going to fit all of this stuff in the sale, because we had a full lot with the left-overs from our July sales. Now we've practically doubled our inventory! HOLY SMOKES!

Anyway - here's a preview! Make sure to stop by any or all weekends of the sales in September! We'll be here! And if you find it in your heart to help out and volunteer some of our time, I would LOVE YOU FOREVER! Truly...the more hands on deck, the better! Please let me know if you're free!

 

Plus about a gazillion other items! In the market for something in particular? Chances are...we have it!

Stop on by and see us! Starting THIS THURSDAY, September 6th at 9am!
