Over-zealous? Perhaps. Over-whelming? Not really. Oh, how I do love a list! It helps keep me on track to get everything accomplished while letting me know exactly where I am. And this way, all of you can join with me in watching everything get crossed off. Here's to a busy, but lovely, 2012.
Crazy...
ReplyDeleteWow, you will be busy! I have a house list, too. I'm hoping this year will be a good year for crossing things off. Next on my list is getting the dining nook painted red and installing the food photographs that I purchased for above the windows. Can't wait to get that done!
ReplyDeleteI anticipate lots of future "What Matthew Wouldn't Do" posts this coming year. But I'm all for them, since they always turn out well in the end. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI've been so impressed by how much you've gotten done on your house! It really looks like such a cozy place.
I love a list, too! Yours is more ambitious than mine, though.
ReplyDeleteAnnMarie, you should visit Rachel while you're home.
