You all are so supportive! I send out my cry for pity over my overwhelming amount of painting projects, and you sympathized with me. Not only that, some of you revealed you too have a bunch of unfinished projects to do! So you gave me an idea.
What was I talking about? Did I say I didn’t have any friends yet in Washington to help me out with my projects? What was I thinking? I HAVE YOU! My little friends in my computer! YOU all will be my painting buddies, wherever in the world you are!
Won’t you be my painting buddy?
I am going to give myself one week from today before I dive in, because I still have to load my final moving truck to Washington (cringe! don’t ask! I know, we are insane! We have to make ONE MORE TRIP back to Portland for more of our things! Please somebody MAKE IT STOP!).
PROJECT PROCRASTINATORS PARTY
APRIL 30 – May 14
I’m inviting you all over to share in my misery joy! And if you all want to join me in getting started on that project YOU are procrastinating on, I’ll give you moral support right back. I’ll put a special Mr. Linky out so we can declare to the world what our Procrastination Project is and then two weeks later on May 14 we’ll have Mr. Linky back so we can show off our accomplishments (however small they might be).
Even if we don’t finish, we’ll be farther along than if we hadn’t started, right?
BABY STEPS
I’ll be super busy over the next few weeks, so this is a HUGE leap for me to dive into a project right now. Many of you are probably in the same boat. But as my friend from Portland would say, do a little bit at a time and you’ll eventually get it done! I can do baby steps, right? I can go buy the paint. I can clean and prep a chair, right? I can take those seats off the chairs. There are baby steps I can do even if I can’t tackle the whole thing at once!
APRIL 30, READY SET GO!
Ok, so, one week from today, April 30, be ready to declare to the world what your Procrastination Project is. And if you don’t have any projects to do, you can just help ME get MY projects done. That is all for now. You know your mission. Come back next Thursday with before photos and your plan of attack. Or a plate of cookies.
You don’t have to have a blog to participate.
NEED HELP OR ADVICE?
And if you have QUESTIONS about your projects, put them in your post for next Thursday or in the comments on that day and hopefully Miss Bossy Pants or any of the other PAINTING LOVERS will come help us if we get stuck (not stuck in the paint, I mean stuck on what do to).
Ok, GO FORTH and PLAN YOUR PROJECT! And we can do them TOGETHER.
Yes, I’m talking to YOU and YOU! And YOU! And YOU! And YOU AND YOU AND YOU and YOU and YOU too! Oh, yeah, then there is YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU … I know you all might have something you could work on too! Oh, YOU too. Don’t try to slip away unnoticed, I see YOU. And YOU. And YOU too! And all of YOU [insert your name] in slipping out the back door!
Oh, I am all over this…. I started taking down my kids bathroom wallpaper NINE months ago… sigh… this is just what I needed!!!
Can’t wait to see everyone’s results!!
I’m in…just freecycling stuff today so I can clear out the room to start the project! Excellent idea!!

WOW this is JUST the motivation I need to finally get my office (new space) painted – I posted about it a few weeks ago, asking for help on color choices. and I haven’t done anything since then.
So this weekend I went and got 2 more sample colors to try out AND I finally bought a gallon of primer, so I can at least get stated covering up the pink!

My name is Brenda and I am a procrastinator.
I have been checking in to your blog for a number of weeks and enjoy seeing what’s new. A Procrastinator’s Party – what a fabulous idea!
I have a perfect project in mind and have been looking at it for – ummm – let’s just say ‘much to long’.
It is the cutest little sewing table – which has so far been sanded of it’s barn red and ochre paint. Destined to be a ‘little bit shabby’ and ‘a little bit beachy’. Step 1 – must get before photo to put on that blog I have been procrastinating on
My son somersaulted into the living room drapes and tore them down about *ahem* months ago. Time to sew in the little tab thingies and get them back up. They’re currently languishing somewhere upstairs.

I have a purse that I have been meaning to finsh. I think I can handle that! Now I have some others to hold me to it
Thanks for the inspiration to get things done. Amber
Oooh I have a bookcase that is PERFECT for this project! Though I’ll need everyone’s advice on whether to paint or not to paint!
I’m in…I just purchased a wooden bench at a yard sale two weeks ago that needs some TLC…I will get right on it. Thanks for the ‘not so gentle’ push. This will be fun. Thanks, Cherri

I just move so I have so many projects I don’t even know where to begin, but I’ll figure it out by the 30th. This will be fun!

I would *love* to finally paint our office…or reorganize our freestanding pantry. Hmm, two days to decide!
Hello! I found your blog through Kimba’s blog (and I found her blog through my friend’s blog!). Anyway, I would love to join your “party.” I have a pine coffee table that I picked up from Freecycle over a year ago and it is in dire need of help. Looking forward to getting some advice and support from everyone!
Thanks for a great idea!

Oh, I definitely have a project I’ve been putting off. Okay, okay, I’m in. I think this is the kick I need.

Count me in!! I’ll be working on a WDW digital scrapbook ( I need to do 3 but I’ll stick with just one for this challenge.
). Can’t wait to see the end results. That is motivating enough for me but this challenge is the “kick in the pants” that I needed.
Pams inspiring blog post..Menu Plan for the Week – April 27th
I’m a little late to the party, but I was putting off choosing my project … yes, I am that good at procrastinating!!! I have chosen my husband’s closet wall which I have disliked for 4 long years – someone striped it, realized the wood was ugly and left it – now I plan to prime and paint and add new handles and trim – I’m crazy, because this is a huge project, and I’ll have to share my closet for the duration – and I am a terrible painter – but attack it, I shall!

I’m definitely in! Many projects to do, I’ll try to focus on one at a time!

I completely missed the boat on the challenge *BUT* I finally got around to blogging about some of my to-dos. I re-did about 6 pieces of furniture over the last week – so M-A-N-Y pictures to come!
Besos!
