101 things this year!

I've read a few different people's "101 things in 1001 days" lists and thought I'd make one of my own, only I'm doing "101 things this year". If anyone wants to do any of these with me or help me out with any of them or whatever, just let me know! As I finish each goal, I'll mark them off with the completion date and highlight them in blue...or some other cool color (one has already been completed, but that's because I started writing this at the beginning of the month and it has taken me a while to think of 101 things). So...here are my goals for this year (in no particular order):
  1. Sew another mystery quilt (either by myself or with people...with people would be more fun, but my first one was mostly by myself and it wasn't too bad).
  2. Figure out official pricing for my photography.

  1. Sounds like a good list! You could always come to Flagstaff, and I'm sure it could knock off a few things on your list. Ian would love to do the Nacho Libre party with you, he loves that movie!
