Last year around this time my husband and I were about to move and downsize from a 4 bedroom living room, dinner room, kitchen, 3 baths, sitting room full basement. It was so over whelming that we had so much stuff to move. We were downsizing to a 1 bedroom 1 bath living room and kitchen. What are we to do with so much stuff we asked our self weeks before we were moving. I know lets have a garage sale. but it was in the winter and to put everything out in the yard would have been too much. So we decided to have a in house sale. Oh my that went very well. We had a kitchen set, living room set, chairs, tables, extra kitchen ware. We were able to sale a lot of the extra things that we could not take to our new condo. So if you are looking to get ride of your extra stuff, why not give a garage sale, auction, or just let someone who is in need look at what you have, and give it away for free. This will help you get rid of a lot of clutter when it is finally time for you to move. I was about to cry when I saw so much things that we accumulated after years in our home. And that's not all, a lot of extra items was my mother-in-laws old stuff that she did not throw away, so it just stayed in the basement and collected dust. How can you keep so much old stuff you may ask, well just leave everything in your basement, where no one goes and beleive me it will pile up if you do not pay attention to it.So make sure you keep up with all that you have so when it is time for you to move, it wont be to hard.
I have some items left.

Latch Hook Crochet Braids
My name is Jill and I was searching on the internet looking to purchase some crochet hair. I came across some videos that were teaching on the technique. I said to myself wow I have been doing my own braids using the latch hook for over 15yrs, so here is my story.
First what are latch hook crochet braids? Latch hook crochet braids are individual pieces of hair that are connected to cornrows using a latch hook. What is a latch hook? A latch hook is a tool that is use the pull your crochet hair through your cornrows. You can purchase one at any craft store of beauty supply. Look for bulk hair that comes in a pack already braided in individual pieces, or you can buy the hair pre-package loose.
To start make sure you wash, oil and blow dry your hair. Then start cornrowing your hair straight back from the top of your head to the nap. I cornrow about 7 to 12 braids across. Then at the end connect the braids together to one side. Now your ready to add your hair extension. Take the latch hook and slide it under your cornrow starting at the top of your hair. Take one individual braid fold it in half and latch it on the hook and pull through. You will then knot the individual braid at the top of the cornrow so it will not fall off. Cover all of the cornrows, making sure there are no spaces in between. Your finish look will look beautiful. I hope to make some short videos soon to show the process.
