Yard Sale - Adoption Fundraiser:: Results!

 

we did it! we successfully has our very first yard sale!

and while some of our semi-big stuff was still leftover and we didn't get the kind of crowd we had hoped for... we still ended up raising:

 

$199.25!

 

 

we were thrilled with the results! our first goal was $250 and we thought that would be fantastic, but a realistic goal was $200.

after the crowd and day we had -- i thought if we made $125 we would be doing good.

but we did make our goal!!! well 0.75 short, but we were so thrilled we were high-fiving like crazy.

yay!!

  

 

and of course... who could resist this cute face/!?

 

bub and i were so shocked when we helped her count her total:

a whopping::

 

$20.52!!

 

bub said that he kind of hoped she had a lemonade stand before this one where she only made a couple of bucks, so that she would know how awesome earning $20 was!

 

although she did frequently try to "give change" to people who paid in exact.

some were confused, but others understood.

and one man said we needed to keep an eye on her because she's trying to give her money away.

ha!

and even with a high fever, she was out there like a trooper selling her lemonade and goodies.

 

did i mention she has been waiting her whole life to have a lemonade stand??
