Project Craigslist
So the holidays are here and I am feeling a major urge to purge! I can just feel all of the fabulous toys, books, clothes, etc. coming our way. I envision it all sitting on my kitchen table and counter tops for days on end while I walk in circles feeling desperate for organization. In my panic ridden state, I am trying to calm myself by getting rid of excess clutter and get things organized before the avalanche of Christmas cheer comes our way! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE it all! I am one of the culprits myself but I MUST be prepared! Being prepared seems to always be my goal but I tend to fall short just near the finish line every time. I will reach my goal this Christmas! I think I can! I think I can!!
Entering stage left: Project Craigslist!! Everybody has heard of Craigslist and most have checked it out or used it at some point. For some, it is an obsession. I have browsed through the toy and furniture section a time or two but have been a bit hesitant to contact a stranger and possibly meet up with them to purchase or sell a personal item. I’m one of those frightful kind of girls. I tend to think the worst until proven otherwise. This is through life experience that I have become this way. I like to call it “cautious.” 😉
My plan is to go through our house and sell anything I can find that we don’t need or use. I hear you can sell pretty much anything on Craigslist so I’m gonna test it out. I am starting with our old Christmas tree. It is a mammoth to say the least! It no longer fits in our living room due to all of our stuff! It is 11 years old, we paid $139.99 for it and I am putting it up for $40. As I type that I feel the sudden urge to lower my price to $20! We all value our own stuff much more than someone else, right?
I did not post a picture because its old and the box is so ugly that no one in their right mind would buy it if they saw it! Anyway, what do I have to lose? I hope to make a few extra bucks so I can make some extra room to put more toys. ;) I will be reporting my progress or massive failure so stay tuned!
