Okay...don't faint....new post

It's Spring Break.  We will not be doing a thing this year during Spring Break.  That is unusual.  Monday was lets clean the house a bit.  Then yesterday I thought that I should look through my Pinterest account and make or do something.  What I ended up doing yesterday was laundry, laundry, laundry.  You might ask yourself - 'What laundry could Becky possibly have and why so much'?  I ask myself the same thing.  So, I kept track of my batches yesterday.  Whites.  Towels.  More towels. Kitchen towels, place mats and tablecloths.  Allan's clothes; mostly the ones he didn't want to put away and were still folded when brought to the laundry room; which most of those ended right back into his laundry basket.  Shannon's clothes; she actually does put on all of her's but she can change her outfits up to 4 times a day - first outfit, feeling what she feels like wearing before she decides what she will wear to school - then, the chosen outfit - after school lounge around outfit - and lastly going to be with friends in the evening outfit, which of course can NOT be the same one she wore to school - 'MOM, they can't see me in the same clothes I wore today, geez......' - oh, and then I should add in her jami's, or Jill's pants if she finds those lying around- like in Jill's room-  as her last outfit of the day.  (Allan just sleeps in his skivvies).  Needless to say she has 2  batches.  Now you might be asking yourself, 'Why is Becky doing her kids clothes?'.  And the simple answer is I enjoy laundry.  I like the smell, the after smell that is.  I love Downey.  And I love my laundry room.  I'm not sure I've posted my total laundry room finished look, but I have to add one more item and then it will be complete and I'll take pic's of it.  Now, back to laundry.  My batch, and Doug's work clothes. Plus, assorted items lying about the home. All in all, about 8 batches.  And this morning I have started another one already.  Some day this might end.
Now, back to yesterday.  I decided to pick a couple of things off of my Pinterest boards to work on.  One was to paint my washer and dryer.  Maybe like this one:


 or these;


I actually started this morning with a kind of swirly design and did not just 'LOVE' the style I was going with - so I might look for a stencil today and see where we go from there.

This next project looked super cute and Shannon had it on her Pinterest account:

Last night I headed to the thrift store and found a few simple bracelets and a few bead necklaces and we will have a go at it!  I'll hand this project off to Shannon and head off to work.
