travel room...

So I have been working on this room since I was a little girl, I'm still trying to get licence plates, postcards, key chains, and other various things for this room I have designed in my head. Getting it done seems like it may not happen.

I'm trying to get street signs as well, I love the used ones better than the new shiny ones, but those are either EXPENSIVE or else they have been recycled. Its really hard to see this in my head and not get it done. So I'm putting out a cry for help, or a plea.

IF you have a licence plate, key chain, road sign, or are going to anther or from another country and wouldn't mind to send me some of the things that I'm looking for please let me know. Right now I don't have money give, but if anyone would send me something off my list, I may one day get this room done.

I'll put a detailed list below of things I'm looking for and if you can help, feel free to email me!!

click this and it gets bigger

I have a licence plate from ireland (not an official one like i want, but one thats from ireland)
I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one from england, austraila, africa....well one from each country really.

I am also collecting coins from other countries as well. I have a small collection....but hope and pray it continues to grow.

At some point I'd love to have a map of every state as well, you know like the free ones from the welcome centers. But those are hard to get.

i want 2 of the lights that are usually over the interstate....

at some point i want a traffic light  and one of the walk no walk lights (ones with words and one with pictures)

don't really need/want with 4 sides, just one is enough, but want one

I have a REAL flag from USA, but would love a state flag from every state, I'd love to even have one from every country as well. I have a book of things I'm trying to get, and continue to add to this list tonight. I have a migraine and not doing this well right now. 

thought of the day...

so I've been looking through blogs and I don't know if everyone uses magazine pictures in their blogs of houses or apartments and claim those as their own homes or if people REALLY have houses that look like magazines.

I can tell you 100% I do not live in a home that looks like a magazine or anything close to a magazine. Unless its the before picture. You know the one that's disorganized, and has piles of stuff all over and everything isn't in pretty cabinets. My house is lived in, and disorganized. I have been trying to get everything organized, and make homes for everything. I think I'm going to get up right now and walk through my house and take pictures of each room and date them.....and see how much better/worse it gets.  I still have a little bit of a phobia of putting pictures of my house (inside or out) online for everyone to see. Its like asking someone to come and rob my house, its like here you go, I cased the place for you and here is the photographic evidence. I may put the 2 most used rooms on my blog, but not sure yet.

I'm still trying to work on my household notebook. I have so many projects going right now. I have at least 4 if not more crochet projects going, and at least 2 of those are needing to be sewn on to jeans or some kind of material. I also have my "travel" room project that I'm trying to work on, but....well, thats not going well. Its hard when you have to depend on people for help....because you're not a priority to strangers or friends. I mean do you think of your friends, or some strangers you are "friends" with on facebook when your raising your kids or living your life?! Be honest now, I think not!

My mom called me the other day, we had a conversation that I never thought would happen in my life. She had met some drag queens in Joann's and she ended up talking to them and found out they make a good deal on making costumes for drag shows. She called me and talked to me and my hubby about possibly making costumes for drag shows to help make money. I don't know if its that I'm not sure of myself, or that I keep myself from being creative for fear of failing or sucking....but I just can't see me doing that. I mean it would be cool to do something like that.

I'm afraid of trying because I'm afraid of sucking or failing. I'm also scared of trying creative things because if i'm using things around the house, if I mess up, I can't replace it or try again because I only have one of things. I'm confined by finances. I mean hubby and I leave the house once every 2 weeks for food and gas shopping, and other than that, he goes to work, and eats there so he doesn't have to use any more gasoline. We can't afford adding ANYTHING else to our budget. Its getting ridiculous with how tight our budget is.

Ok, I'm starting to ramble again, and I'm starting to fall asleep too, so i think i'm going to get off here and work on something tho i'm not sure what tho. Thanks for reading if you are!! :D
