To me there is no better feeling that crossing something off of a to-do list... unless it's crossing the very last item off on your entire list!  (Want to know a little secret? I make a list of things that I need to do at both work and home every night before I go to bed!) I think this is part of the reason that the 101/1001 challenge was so appealing to me. Not only does it give a realistic amount of time for tasks(or at least more so than a New Year's Resolutions) but it's a list that I check items off of when I'm finished!

Part of my 101/1001 was to make a list of goals, or things that I wanted to complete every month for a year and accomplish everything on them.

I've been trying this out for a few months and am getting nowhere with it, so I though that if I posted it here than I would feel obligated to do these things... even if nobody ever reads this. So here we go...

DIY Projects

Lately it seems that I have become obsessed with DIY projects. I'm always on Google looking for a ideas, searching blogs and bookmarking things that are either simple or too cute to not try. My list has become increasingly long and I haven't even started one project yet. 

Searching through DIY projects has given me the urge to try all kinds of new art projects, revamp my old clothes and turn leftover renovation supplies into the cutest coasters! It's truly amazing how many people have started refurbishing old run down furniture and turning them into works of art. It has definitely opened up my eyes to a whole new side of redecorating and sparked an interest in stepping out of my comfort zone, which usually involves buy everything that I need for my apartment already assembled at the store. 

I'm excited to start trying out all the new ideas that I have for my apartment and make all kinds of cute things for my friends and family!
