Hello,
This weeks issue is about garage sales, which seems like an appropriate topic to follow last week's Clutter Control issue. After all, garage sales are both a great way to eliminate clutter and a great way to create it. As always, we are interested to hear your garage sales tips so we have created a couple garage sale Brainstorms as well.
Thanks for reading,
Susan

Free Garage Sale Sign Templates
Signs are very important when throwing a garage sale. Make sure you signs have large and clear arrows so that they can be seen easily by drivers. And also make sure the date of the sale is visible. People often get discouraged looking for garage sales because there are so many old signs up from previous weeks. If it is clear to people that your signs are current they will be more likely to follow them. Please take your signs down when you are done : )
