Where do I put it all!

Last summer I said this is it! I am going to get all this "stuff' put in its' proper place. Well that was easier said than done. What we did do was unload. I decided to not give cares to what the neighbors or passersby thought and have a "free" yard sale. They are so easy! Huge signs that say "FREE STUFF", place them in your front lawn and go about your regular day! Our old treated lumber steps from our front porch went to a family effort rebuilding an old hunting camp, my used vacuum went to a college kid getting his first apartment. We had discarded toys, stuffed animals, a ramp that came with our garden shed that we were unable to use, a lawn mower in need of tinkering and other miscellaneous "stuff". Little by little, this and that left. I have to say that I lack the necessary skills to really be organized, but thankfully by this weekend I am sure I'll learn more from the wonderful posts on http://lysaterkeurst.blogspot.com/.
Saw our first crocus popping up yesterday, spring can not be to far away! As for spring cleaning...got to step that up before my oldest returns home from college!!! MORE STUFF!!! :)

I love your free stuff idea!! My uncle does that when he has a yard sale - after its over - he always puts out the Free sign. Great idea!

That is a fun idea! I may have to have a "free whatever is in the basement sale!"
