To commemorate, I've decided to take some inspiration from Making it Lovely's Nicole Balch and create my own 30 before 30 list. Unlike Nicole, I've only given myself four months to accomplish all of this, so we'll see where this leads and how well I do! I plan to update the original post frequently, and "cross off" items as I complete them. Most, if not all, of my ideas are more personal goals, which will help me to be one busy little bee (or ladeebug, as it were!)
1. Try one new recipe a week.
2. Find and refurbish a headboard for the master bedroom. (headboard procured...but not refurbished).
3. Learn how to make curtains.
4. Repurpose the curtains in the kitchen as a valance and table runner (only enough fabric to make a valance.)
5. Have a "date night" with Jeff once a week.
6. Go to at least two PA museums.
7. Host Thanksgiving for my family. (We are well on our way. T-2 days!)
8. Talk to my brother at least once a week (via phone, e-mail or otherwise).
9. Look into selling my paintings on etsy.com. (I did look into it, but decided to hold off for a while!)
10. Create new artwork for our bedroom and living room.
11. Organize our closets. (Funny what the prospect of guests can get you to do!)
12. Begin consigning clothing at Divine Consign.
13. Go on a ghost tour.
14. Go snow tubing.
15. Create one kitchen-y craft. (I am stretching, but I'm counting my centerpiece from the holiday!)
16. Write at least one blog a week.
17. Re-do the artwork in the kitchen.
18. Reduce the amount of pop I drink (or eliminate completely). (Much less pop--and now only diet!)
19. Get new snow boots. (So, they might not technically be "snow" boots...but they're warm! Fake Uggs!)
20. Become more involved in PHEC.
21. Look for volunteer opportunities.
22. Donate clothes that I can't consign or fit into to Goodwill.
23. Go to see at least one theatrical production. (The high school production of The Man Who Came to Dinner)
24. Learn how to make Pad Thai for Jeff.
25. Pick out wedding photos for our proof book.
26. Design our wedding album.
27. Send out holiday cards. (Done!)
28. Print all of the photos saved on our computer.
29. Organize my desk and use it more often. (One half down...)
30. Finish building my IKEA filing cabinet.
I guess I'm 9 months too late for a 30 before 30 list... but I really like the idea! Maybe I can do a 40 before 40 list.... obviously I'd have more than 4 months to complete ;)
