2012 To Do List

This year I'm trying something new. I decided to go through each room in my house and write down what needed work or I wanted worked on in each room. WOW the list is way longer than I imagined, and I didn't realize how many holes we had in our walls, most our small but still...I guess that's what happens when you have 3 very active boys and lots of active male cousins. Maybe if I have it on here for everyone to see I'll want to work on it more, I plan to work on it throughout the year and if I don't finish it all I don't, but at least I know what I want done in each room. Hmm maybe I should post my 2012 goals for everyone too see too. It's quite the list, I'm really not a goal maker but this year I've gone all out. Anyways, here's the list.

    1. It sounds like you're going to be very busy! If you even accomplish a small part of that list you've accomplished a lot!

    2. Always do your room first, of course I have not done that yet, but they say, do your repaires and painting on your own room first, make your bedroom a place to relax and sleep well. My room is my next room to fix-up.

    3. That's a good idea Caryl, especially since my room is where I put things that I don't know where else to put. I put them in crates or boxes and line them along the wall. This list though I won't necessarily do one room at a time, just different things in each room. Whatever I feel like working on that week.

    5. Yes there is a common theme, I have curtains in all those rooms but I want blinds everywhere too or instead. Man I guess I better start with my room, that way when I do all these other things I'll have somewhere to put the stuff I don't know where to put. Haha! ;)
      I just added an outside section.

    6. Quite the list Kristi, I think it's a good idea that you made your list. It keeps you thinking about it and if you even only choose one thing everyday, it will slowly get done. You are inspiring!
