This month makes it a year since taking the famous 30 DAYS OF LIST CLASS and it changed my life for the better. My life has more color and is messier then ever and even more important are the new friends, the old friends who support me and inspire me DAILY!!! I never in a million years could have guessed that by taking this one class so much of my life could change and how badly I NEEDED THAT CHANGE!! So today's post is about all that I've done in this past year, the creative side not the "MOM" side or "PROJECT LIFE" side. Those areas have changed but will be talked about later on. Are you ready to go back a year with me: some of you were there with me and others I've met along the way. I can't say enough how THANKFUL I am for ALL OF YOU!! In no special order here is what I remember.

So there you have it a years worth of learning and discovering!! I can't wait to do this again and be inspired all over. There is always so much I want to do and create but not alwasy enough time or knowledge or money to do them all. Thankful for what has happened and lucky to be where I am.
I did this just off the top of my head, hope I didn't forget anyone or anything special. I also couldn't remember how to spell a sweet PROJECT LIFER name, darn it, but you know who you are. Starts with an "N" and has the two sweet cuties! thank you for beins such a dear friend to me and inspiring me.
I stopped for just a moment today and wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't taken that class... without a doubt none or most of it WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED... IT ALL STARTED WITH THAT CLASS.... 30 DAYS OF LISTS.... I REALLY SHOULD GO TAKE IT AGAIN THIS MONTH SHOULDN'T I.... WHAT AM I WAITING FOR.... WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN THIS YEAR IF I TAKE IT.... HOPE ALL OF YOU STAY WITH ME ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY.... HUGS!!
