2nd Non Annual Clothing Swap...by Juli


Well the clothing swap was a sure success! To be honest all of us girls were getting a little nervous when the donation week was ending and we were seeing very few donations. But when Friday rolled around and we gathered all the donations together, I swear it was a modern day miracle. The clothes divided and were able to feed many. It made me so happy to see you gals go home with new clothes, especially the teenage girls. It's always hilarious when a friend comes up to you and says, "what do you think of this?" {not knowing you donated it} you reply, "oh yeah whoever donated this must be pretty cool, you should totally take it" {eh em Marcella}. Good times.

Us J's want to give a big thanks and round of applause to Salina who coordinated the event and so kindly invited us to join. Thank you Salina and thank Aaron for putting up with 150 pairs of shoes, 300 pairs of pants, 1500 skirt, and 6000 shirts {slight exaggeration}strewn about the far corners of his entire house inside and out!!! You guys are the best!!

Will we see you all next year?!? Hope so :)

We aren't Facebook friend's, so I didn't know about the clothes trade! I have a lot of nice things too...oh well!

I wouldn't mind borrowing or renting one or two of the clothes racks, for my front yard sale, later this summer?
I looked at buying one, but they're not cheap...I've got some cute, brand new, tags on, too small clothes for someone petite...? Really nice stuff!

Kelly, the racks were rented from Aaction Rents. They broke down to a smaller size and were easy to transport!
