Score one for the queen
No, this is not a follow up to my blog about my sister.
As those of you that have been reading me for a while know, I am a huge Craigslist shopper. To date my greatest score has been the three hundred dollar "gator" I found for forty dollars. It made Caleb a very happy boy last Christmas.
Since I have to purchase gifts for eight children, I tend to head to CL's first when looking for certain items. As a rule, anything Little Tikes is a great secondhand purchase. I have been wanting to get Caleb and Emily a playhouse for this Christmas and have been looking for the past several months for just the right one.
Well today, I found it. The perfect playhouse at the more than perfect price of fifty dollars. It is in fantastic shape and has all the parts attached. I emailed immediately and the guy called me within five minutes. Apparently, I was once again lucky enough to email just as the item went up.
This is now sitting in the workshop just waiting for Christmas to arrive. Score one yet again for the Queen of Craigslist.

Yay!
Awesome! I need to start looking on craig's list for things like that.
@Luv2BMama@xanga - It always take me some time to find the right one, but if I stick with it I usually find what I am looking for. You would be amazed what you can find.
That's great! I hit some garage sales this morning and was feeling very happy with my finds, but that playhouse is awesome!
@christygraves@xanga - I must admit I was quite pleased with myself. I love bargins.
Score one for CL =)
Yay!! :)
Now they will have thier own little place to plot evil against you!
Who wants to bet how many times it will end up in pieces because Caleb took it apart or the bigger kids are trying to play in it? lol
@der_lila_Stern@xanga - Caleb will want to make it into a Transformer at least a dozen times.
@gwacemom - lol! Exactly!
I am a huge craigslist seller. I love to post there.
