sharpies, birthday cards, and following a yellow brick road

Today my brother and I were cleaning out my sisters room and we keep finding a bunch of nice things that we just don't use so my brother being himself says, "Maddie, we should sell this stuff. We could get like, 50 bucks for the weekend." Smart kid. So we started pulling things out and we go to our basement, (more like a trap than a basement), and we found a ton of our old stuffed animals. Right away I noticed I couldn't find a little purple bear with an ivory stomach. I was sad to see that my bear was gone because I slept with that thing for three years.

Items we are selling:
-Large Chocolate Fountain cleaned with all parts in the box.
-New stuffed animals.
-A glass cookie jar that looks like a stack of hat boxes.
-New Legos... boys...
-New Nick Jonas posters in frames.

I made a yard sale poster. It is the cutest poster ever! I am so proud of it! Yay for nice handwriting! Woo hoo!

Now the card. I have to send a birthday card to my friend on his mission. I sent a package a while back and it never arrived. That happening I am just sending a card but I am putting a coupon in the card that says, "I don't want a package to not get to you, so this coupon is for you to come to my house when you get back and we'll bake a cake and decorate with streamers. We can finish by blowing through the little party kazoos." What do you readers think of this? I think it'd be good because everyone one knows that Brithdays are the single best thing ever!!!

Tonight and tomorrow I am going to follow a Yellow Brick Road in my red glittery Keds. :)
love, Maddie Violet.
p.s. Pictures of the poster and other things soon to come.
