Moms, Tots, and in-beTweens Spring Consignment Sale


Today was a fun day!  It was the Moms, Tots, and in-beTweens spring consignment sale.  This consignment sale happens twice a year and has tons of toys and clothes for kids.  I signed up as a consignor and a volunteer for this sale so that I could go to the volunteer pre-sale before the sale officially opened.


It was a lot of work getting ready for the sale.  The hardest thing was sorting through my son's baby clothes.  They were hard to part with!  I remember when he was so tiny and wore those tiny clothes and now he's growing up so fast.  We consigned some of his baby toys too.


I ended up consigning 181 items and tagged them all.  So many tags!  


And it was worth it because I found some amazing deals during the pre-sale!  I got these Melissa & Doug stacking construction vehicles, a giant bag of wooden blocks, big wooden Melissa & Doug beads in different shapes to string on laces, and a new owl board book.  Oh, and some clothes!


My volunteer shift was today.  I found even more great deals and I got to talk with a lot of other moms.  I can't wait for the next sale!

Project Life!


I just got my first Project Life cards yesterday!  I picked up the Project Life Boy Themed Cards at Hobby Lobby.  So excited!

I am still deciding which Core Kit to get.  My first project is to make my son's baby book.  I'm leaning toward the Honey Edition or the Kraft Edition.  I'd really like to get both because I think they both have some great designs and colorful cards.  

I've been swooning over Project Life blog posts and Pinterest pins for a while now!  I love that Project Life has page protectors that are perfect for Instagram photos.  If you've been following my blog you know that I document so much of my life with Instagram.  I'm going to follow the advice of Shelley of The House of Smiths and use Persnickety Prints to print out my photos. 

I've ordered some page protectors, an album, and some Studio Calico Project Life Kits.  I'll share pictures when my happy mail arrives!
