I also tackled the play room this week and added a few more games and toys to the boutique closet. Since my boys are 7 and 9 we don't go through toys as fast. They still like their legos, tinker toys, Lincoln logs and race tracks. I could probably lighten our load of Star Wars figures and light sabers but as soon as I did they would hit another Star Wars phase. Maybe next sale.

Since my 3-year-old is now in a big girl bed I will most likely be parting with the crib and changing table at this sale. That's a little bit more emotional than ridding the house of extraneous toys, but it also means we are moving to a new phase around here -- no more babies!!

So, while I haven't entered or printed one tag yet, I have started the process and at least have an idea of how much I have to sell. Hopefully this week I will move to the next step. For me that means dragging my movable rack and all the clothing into my computer room, sorting it by size and gender, and creating the tags in the order that things are hanging. I put the toys in big rubbermaid containers and do the same.

Since the sale is still over a month away I will probably make one more pass through all the closets. But, if I can at least get through all the things I have put aside now I won't mind tagging a few things closer to the start of the event. And, if things get crazy (like I know they will) and I don't get anything else tagged I will know that most of what needed to be passed along is ready. And, there's always the spring sale!
