Best Yard Sale EVER!

Thank you ALL for making the Yard Sale last Saturday a complete success! A special thank you to all who donated items, volunteered at the sale, baked the baked goods, and so much more. 
We had a great turn out! 
 Because of the kindness and goodness of so many of you...today was a total success.  My heart is full of gratitude to you for so much! Today is another example that mankind...really is that..."kind".
 Charly has some "sweet Angels"!
 These beautiful clips were donated to Charly's Yard sale by John’s beautiful cousin Brenda! They were a HUGE success!
 Brenda donated over 150 clips! Please take a minute to shop for more clips online. Use code charly10 for 10% off and she will donate 1.00 per item :). It’s also a GREAT way to pay things forward to someone who has a HUGE heart! 
 We have so many people to thank for the great turn out, the many awesome donations, the tasty baked goods, and those of you that set up, and cleaned up.
 Thank you Emily for all the YUMMY cupcakes, and for taking the time during your busy week to help us (Emily moved into a new home, and still made time for her bestie...Love you EM!)
 A LARGER THAN LIFE "THANK YOU" to the Lloyd's for all of their work!
 Thank you Grandma/Grandpa White for the awning, for helping at the Bake Sale, and for buying so many cookies!  We recognize your efforts in helping us today!!
 We had some special visitors.  One of Charly's Primary Nurses (when she was born...) came to support us.  We also had so many other friends and family, and many NICU familes that came.
 Here is Charly with one of her boyfriends, Callen.
 Charly and I with some NICU families.  It seriously brings tears to my eyes thinking that some of the families with HUGE medical issues/bills of their own are always some of the first ones that come to our rescue.  Thank you so much Paula, Mirjeta, Monica, and so many more!!
 Also a special "Thanks" to "Aunt Jen" for being the Yard Sale "accountant" and for putting in hours, and hours of time in preparation and planning (thank you Kathleen too).

We learned a lot about what
worked and what we would do differently. We want to share this information and help other NICU families bombarded with medical bills and challenges have yard sales as well. 
 
We have A LOT to PAY FORWARD!
 
Charly sends her love and promises she's being a good girl...and will continue to be thankful for MIRACLES. Thank you all for being a part of Charly's Miracle!
 THANK YOU, THANK YOU to ALL!! Love Charly and Family!!
