When was the last time you heard a news report about a burglar breaking into someone’s house to steal leftover paint, an old ladder, or some rusty tools? A typical garage is a hodge-podge of tools, cleaning products, toxic chemicals, tools and garden equipment, auto supplies, and who knows what else. The bottom of a tool box.

Most people know that music education helps grow children’s brains. Clap sticks from decorated paint stirrers. Garage sales – I found a guitar for $5.00 once at a garage sale and bought it for my grandson. Maracas from individual serving sized raisin boxes and dried beans. Find A Used Instrument.

I took at least three trunks full of “stuff” to Goodwill, I had a garage sale, and I sold things online. And then, well, like a weed that just won’t stop growing, the stuff started piling up again. My children love to draw and paint, and I love seeing their work. Boy, did I declutter.

I thought it would be fun to have a board game that reinforces thoughts on starting and growing a business. I knew I wanted players to have to make certain decisions that would lead to the start up and growing of the business. I will probably use an old garage sale board game as the base, and just glue the printed game mat to it.

Garage sale and thrift store furniture bargains abound. My daybed mattresses were previously used by a young girl, in her growing up bedroom, then stored by the parents for years. The toy ice cream table and chairs from my Mom’s childhood have an iron frame, which I stripped and spray painted. The sun bakes out.

Your baby’s nursery should be a calm, yet stimulating room where your little one can grow, learn and explore. Buy a dated, smooth-gliding rocker at a garage sale for next to nothing and customize it with several yards of fabric and a staple gun. Roller Shades. Choose Changeable Wall Images.

Growing up in America in the fifties and sixties, I seldom saw negotiation in action. Garage sales – need I say more? The sellers grow weary of everyone asking ‘Can you do a little better on this item?”. Paint a clear and simple picture of how to bridge the gap – make it easy for them to do what you want.
