100 Things

I don't usually do these things but discovered it on Sylvia's blog and became intrigued.

The instructions are to copy and paste the list in your own blog and color all of the things YOU have done (mine are in blue). Things you haven't done will be in black.

If you put this on your blog, let me know, so I can go read your list.
