Overwhelmed...HELP!

The Re-modeling Fairy needs to come visit my house for a week or two.  Hmmm...maybe longer who knows!  I got this burst of energy and started re-doing my laundry room tonight and hit a brick wall.  (I do things like that from time to time...well OK...all the time)  I want to make the wall where the dry erase board was into a chalkboard wall...from ceiling to the floor.  Maybe frame it out with molding.  Use the top half for myself and the bottom half for the kids chore charts and art.  I got everything down off of the wall and sanded it down.  I was going to patch all the little holes and bam!  Couldn't find anything to patch them with!  Joint compound to old and waterey; calking to old and I couldn't find my little jar of wall patch stuff.  Unbelieveable at this house...we have everything here!  Also my 5 gal bucket of paint I bought to paint the walls is missing!  I can't find it either!!  I have my chalkboard paint though...thank goodness.

Well, my son is out of school this next week for Spring Break and he knows we are cleaning out the garage!  That is our project for next week.  Everything just gets thrown out there and I know most of that stuff could just be thrown out.  So I am getting myself ready for purge mode!  My favorite thrift store will get a large donation...maybe two!  LOL!

I didn't get to finishing Rinny's purse today, definately have to get it done tomorrow!

I have so many projects that need to be done here that I don't know where to begin.  I feel so overwhelmed!  Any suggestions??

Site Seeing and Treasure Hunting in Lake Panasoffkee!

The day started out as any other day...getting kids up for school, dressed, and breakfast eaten.  Then off to school!  C had a wood delivery in Lake Panasoffkee and I've never visited before...so I went along for the ride!  Lake Panasoffkee is known for it's nature park and perserve which offers birdwatching, biking, camping, horseback riding, fishing, hiking and hunting.  As we drove I watched bait shops, horse farms, cow pastures, Mom & Pop stores and resturants go by...some still operating, some not.  There were lots of properties with For Sale signs in the yards.  An older gentelman walking on the sidewalk with a walking stick wearing a white shirt and overalls.  Lots of bicycles parked at a corner store.  I said to C, "A small town of country folk just trying to survive!"  He nodded.

We made our delivery then picked some sour oranges & tangerines.  Can't wait to make some sour orange maranade and candied orange rind!  Yummy!  As we drove back through town I noticed a thrift store and said, "Let's stop!"  And this is the treasures I found...



I adore vintage sheets!  I'm still thinking of what project I will use them for.  I collect tea cups, saucers and dishes no particular brand, just anything that catches my fancy.  There was another tea cup that I wanted to get but I broke it.  I'm such a butterfinger!  I paid a whopping $10 for the lot.



Isn't this tea cup cute?  No stamp though.



My grandmother used these dishes, they were her everyday dishes.  I just can't pass any by when I see them...they remind me of her.  This is my first serving platter of the set!







The ones that had markings stated they were made in the USA.  So my visit to Lake Panasoffkee was a very enjoyable experience!  I love visiting different out of the way places here...there are so many things to see, smell and taste!  I forgot to bring my camera...again.  I hate it when I do that.  And I really love finding treasures!!

I'm working on another purse for Rinny, I should have it done tomorrow.  I'll post pictures when I finish it!
