Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. I love a bargain.

I thrifted items for my dad because he loves old books and coins. Finally, I found some clothing for my husband and son that was still new with the tag at the thrift store that they loved! That is when I decided to thrift all of my gifts this year for Christmas. Then I expanded to gift items for my mom.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Search the attic, the backs of the closets, the garage and see what inspiration presents. Dad’s old cowboy hat and a rope from the garage can be the start of a cowboy get up. Free Kids Crafts has some ideas.

I carried this idea to our garage. Every home has those out of the way, hard to reach places, whether it is the top shelf of a closet, the attic, the basement, a far corner of the garage or the shed outside. Use them to store those once a year needs – like holiday decorations, or party supplies. Get Organized'
