Lists.

Happy Monday, peeps!

I've got a card for you featuring Time for Tea Designs' New Year Resolutions Digi.

It's a bit early, but I am so inspired by all the planner/ filofax pics on Instagram about decorating your planners! I, myself, love to make lists and still carry paper calendars even though my iPhone is always at my side. There's nothing more satisfying than having that pen hit the paper and seeing your month ahead of you. Please tell me I'm not alone (or crazy! Haha!).

When I saw her with this long list, it made me think of all those times I've made lists. Decided to even use a stamp made for planners (those lines on the tag) by Studio l2e - plan it. There was this one time, I was in class and I made a list on the notes section of the handout. My friend saw it and she added a # 4. It went something like this:

1. Wash dishes.
2. Sort out clothes and pack for trip.
3. Call post office.
4. Take a poop.

BUWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!! Haha, Melissa!!!!

And the paper clips are by Kate Spade's new office line (the gold ribbon) and from Studio Calico (the arrow). The papers are from Shanna Noel's Print Shop line and the letters are Amy Tangerine.



By the way, I make lots of New Year's Resolutions too! I just don't keep up with them come February! LOL!

Birthdays, schmerdays.

I have a birthday coming up.

At first, I didn't want to post how old I'd be turning. 35. I certainly don't feel old but saying the age or even writing it makes me cringe. I guess I'm not considered that young anymore. I wanted to write something witty here about turning 35. Even come up with pictures, or even a card! I did find lots of posts even though I don't think of it as a major milestone like turning 30 or 40.

Loved Alice's post about knowing herself and feeling that the best years are yet to come.

Matt had a great post on turning 35 in a social media-crazed world.

Christ Hardwick, a comedian, states "Thirty-five is the age where you have to check a whole different box on surveys." I felt the same way! I'm now under the age bracket 35-50! Aaaack!

Anyway, I know of the lists of "30 things to do before I turn 31." I never started one of those last year but thought I'd write up all the things I did in the last year. But who am I kidding, I got up to # 15, he he! Maybe I'll do one for next year. In the meantime, here are 35 of my favorites. I do like making lists! :)
