101 things in 1001 days

I've decided to jump on the 101 things bandwagon. There's a huge movement on the internet right now for people to do 101 things they've always wanted to do in 1001 days. Almost like a New Years resolution list, but with 3+ years to complete it.

I couldn't quite come up with 101 things- I do most of the things I'd like to do- but I did come up with 64. Here's my list. The ones in blue are the ones I'm currently working on. I'll update from time to time as to how it's going.

Wow - a lot of these are things I am working on also. I LOVE scrapbooking and am thinking about starting a Friday night crop at the church (since it is so darn close) and if you are up for it you could bring your *print* photos and either organize them in to albums or scrapbooks. We could even have wine while we do it! :)
