A New Day

Happy 2011!

In 2009 I posted a list on the blog on things I wanted to do before turning 28…..well I have upgraded it and changed it to 101 in 1001 days.  I have been reading a lot of self helps blogs and craft blogs and found it very interesting and more of a challenge by doing it this way!

So I took my list and started adding things to it……I know some of these will not happen in 1001 days but that just means I can keep it on my list for the next 1001 days – PLUS some I have already checked off from this past year! Go ME!
