ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm stealing a bunch of these ideas (and some from your 2011 list, too!). Hopefully I can keep up with my list as well as you did this year.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some good ideas on that list. I hope you don't mind that I copy you a little but I'm made a 35 things list for this year. We'll see how it goes.
