labatterie - You know what I mean…

labatterie - I’m learning to use photoshop and it is a big challenge but really neat in the end and I just got a fancy new phone with texting- super addicting.

Spindelmaker - Hi Meg! I really like your list, there are so many great things obn here! I hope you don´t mind that I linked to your list from my list? 🙂
Have a nice day!

Jenna - I just found your blog through a friend and I’m sold — mostly because you know what peppernuts are! It’s not Christmas without them, although I’ve yet to make them myself.

Laura - You can mark off the family pictures!

Lindsay - Here is my list of 23 things.

Wendy @ Living Creatively - So inspiring!! I made my own, after seeing yours.
I love the list. Great goals and aspirations.
Love that you are marking off as you go… I plan to do the same. 🙂 Thanks!

POP Fizz Academy - Love your colorful blog and your list! I’m about to have a 27th birthday and have already been compiling a list of all of the things I want to do, see and achieve in the next year.

Brooke Whitis - Okay I want my list to be adorable like this one. How did you create it…what program? I have probably read this thing 20 times. So cute.

rebecca - If you change your blog in any way, shape or form–I will cry

Trasie - Well….I just discovered your list on your blog!
I will be 35 on the 20th of this month so it will be impossible for me to accomplish 35 things between now and then. I have, however, decided to make a list of 36 to do this year…..Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for the fun blog you have! I love the cheeriness of it!!!!
P.S. Where did you go to create it?

Pat - I just found your blog today and love it! Yes, how did you make your list so pretty & colorful? You are so creative ~ great talent.

Sarah Walquist - This is such an awesome idea! I created my own and it’s perfect because I just celebrated my birthday…so there is plenty of time to spare!
I’d LOVE to teach you how to make jewelry…you’re so artistic that you’d really catch on quick. My cousin is Jess McClenehan, so maybe when we travel to see the fam…you never know, there may be a jewelry lesson in store!
Your list is just beautiful I hope you have a chance to check out mine!

karla dornacher - Hi Meg… I’m Michelle’s mom and she inspired me to make my own “58 things” list! I guess one is never too old… time just flies faster and the list just keeps getting longer!
Love your blog and I love how you created your list… very fun and colorful… and we even have a couple of things in common.
You can find my list is at:

I will add a link to your list from my list as well… thanks!

Magchunk - I have one but mine is 25 things to do before I turn 25 (just a tad younger than you!). I haven’t blogged about it, but some of the things are: See Yellowstone Park, get a massage, read 25 books, go up the Space Needle (I live in Seattle but haven’t gone. Scratch that – I did it last weekend!), sew something start to finish. It’s been fun. Good luck with yours. I love your ideas!

pve - glad I made the list (to meet awesome bloggers) that is me right?

Beth - Cool list! My sister and I have gone on two sister only trips (to Banff, Canada and Steamboat Springs, CO) and they were both so much fun! Keep us posted on when you acheive them!

tami reed - too fun i have a vision board that looks similar

Stephanie Carroll - Here’s my list
It’s scary to write it down!

Amanda - Oooh! I love your list! I have a 25 before 25 list that I have been doing for a couple of months now, but I’m jealous of how cool your list looks! Love it!
Here is my list:

Kate - i think you have some great things to work towards. especially sleeping until noon. how long has it been since you’ve slept until noon? that really scares me to think of your answer. haha.
and by the by, i LOVE the new header. is gorgeous. f’reals.

kasey - great ideas Megan!
when is your bday?? ugg..i turn 35 in less than a month!

Meredith - Hi Meg – fab list. You’re certainly going to have a very interesting year ahead of you. You know, we have great beaches in Australia…..anytime you want to visit…
Co-incidentally, on a post last Friday, I suggested that it was time to add a touch of “daring” to my life. After reading yours,I decided to make it a whole list. Hope you have lots of fun ticking things off! Meredith xo.

Ashley Ann - Can I help with 3 of those…family pictures, craft night and flea markets?! Sounds like a plan to me.

Dana Banana - Love the idea of list making. Mine will need to start out with making a list to make a real list. Oh and by the way, I could help you learn to make cinnamon rolls……:)

Sally - Hey Girl!
Take a whole pork loin, fat side up, put in a roasting pan.
Douse with Lea & Perrins White Wine Chicken Marinade.
Sprinkle with McCormick’s Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning – all over the pork, makes a tasty crust.
Cook on 350 for 2.5 hours. My family’s favorite dish.
LOVE the blog, and a mom that has 5 kids and TIME to blog.
Inspiration all around!!!
Enjoy!

your cool friend Cheryl - I love your list!
I can’t believe you don’t already have photoshop…your pics are gorgeous!

Ruth - change your blog???? but it’s perfect!

Lisa Liddell - I have written my list. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

Nicole - Love the list idea . .. I’m gonna do it!
I can help you with the digital scrap thing! I do Heritage Makers and it rocks! It’s out of scrapbook capital of hte world . . . UTAH . . . and it’s all online. Fastest growing digital scrapbooking company. No programs to buy and update. When you get around to that item to check off let me know and i’ll get you the info. so you can compare it to others. Have fun with the list!!

griswold fun - That is a great list! Making peppernuts is on my list of things to do this fall (and I tired cinnamon rolls earlier this year)!

susie whyte - my husband and i are good friends with the owner of club liquor east(next to sam’s in wichita). they just had their annual wine tasting party this summer. could have gone…bummer.

Tiffany - I’m going to put “Make a list this pretty” on my list! And, I can help you with the cinnamon rolls if you need it!!

Sarah Beth - While I can’t help you paint your laundry room ( and I DO love to paint) I can help you by pointing you to 2 places that have helped make my life easier.
I use one more than the other, but if I need a quick meal I just go to menus4moms.com and its free and you sign up and they do a weeks menu at a time, including lunch and breakfast I think. Take it or leave whatever you want.
Then for the online scrap book. I have used scrapblog.com and LOVE it! You can save the page itself as a jpeg and get them printed off at Walmart! I hope these two help you as you cross of things on The List! Good luck! If you go to my blog http://www.darrahsonline.blogspot.com you will see a link to “Our family scrapbook” on the left side. Check it out!

The Florist - I love your list ALMOST as much as I love the layout of your list. How did you do it? Seriously. Your blog is great eye candy!

julie - Love your list. LOVe it. What a year you have in front of you.

Kat - Hi – I have been reading your blog for a while but never seem to comment. I love your list. I made cinnamon rolls a while ago and they were easy. I just wanted to say hi and that I love reading your blog and seeing the great stuff you create.

Michelle - I have had a list for a while, but never crossed anything off. When I realized my 35th birthday was fast approaching, I suddenly realized that time was not standing still and it was time to act.
This summer I entered cakes in the county fair (on my list since I was a teenager) and actually won first place on both!
I told my husband no matter what, we are going to D.C. and New York in two years. I realized we’d never take the trip if we didn’t just go ahead and write it on the calendar.
Tomorrow I am taking my first Photoshop class! It feels great to start DOING instead of just thinking.

takingheart - I love this idea, and I look forward to trying it… though prolly with Sharpies…I have a think them and office supplies of all kinds… will link back to you when I do it.
Interestingly enough, 35 is AMA in my line of work… the dreaded advanced maternal age. If you get pregnant from here on out, there are more risks and testing… it’ll be like turning 30 all over again for me and my colleagues!

Carrie - Hey – I have no problem helping you out with the crafting night. I can be there in a few hours. 🙂
On our trip to Paris in May, I took a cooking class and we made stuffed/rolled pork tenderloin. It was amazing. I too always struggle with pork. I somehow mess it up. However, this pork was amazing and the chef shared the recipe. I would be happy to pass it along to help you get that one off the list.

robyn Beckley Vining - FYI- adobe is having a sale- i believe until tomorrow the 18th, where photoshop is $299 if you have elements to upgrade from.
my computer crashed and i lost my whole suite. had to buy all over again as they had lost me from their system (whaat?!). so, back it up when you get it (you get two computers to put it on, and I think you have two, so you’re good.)
Now yes, learning the new CS4 is another thing 🙂
good luck!

erin - this is fun! I may have to make a list too 🙂

Sarah @ Clover Lane - I have to say…from someone who was a chronic list maker in my 30’s…I had to stop when I was 40…something about the pressure just stressed me out. Something about NOT checking off those things, because I was busy doing day to day stuff, and then feeling like I failed somehow…I’ve found it might not be the more productive way to live, and I might get less done…but I LOVE those lists off my back. I think I’m also one of those people that stress’s about NOT finishing what I started..I just can’t let it go.
Still…I love your ideas. And don’t you dare change your blog…yours is SO original…I’ve never ever seen anything like your layout etc.

michelle - LOVE IT! I even love how you wrote your list!
Maybe we should figure out how to do one of these together 🙂
You have so many great ideas!
texting! hehe, you have a teenager and you’re just now texting!!

Suzanne - I have only one thing on my list and that is to draw closer to the Lord.
Have found if I do that one thing, all the other things fall into place effortlessly 🙂
I have to say that was the most colorful list I have seen though!
My daughter http://www.kgraphicsstudio.com could totally help you out with business cards!

Miranda - fantastic! am thinking i should come over to make peppernuts with you. 9it’s just a short drive from denver right?) love them. but first am going to stand here with my mouth gaping open in shock over the fact that you don’t have photoshop. thought for sure you did…your pictures are so gorgeous.

Lisa-Marie - http://thisgirlis.blogspot.com/2009/08/promised-cinnamon-roll-recipe.html
^ My cinnamon roll recipe, with pictures and instructions. Easy to make, and they are goooood!
I might make a list of 30 things to do before I’m 30…

Bec - ps my mom is also a quilter…..I’ll just tell her to stop by 😉

Bec - my mom and grandma make the best cinnamon rolls- they would be glad to come teach you how to do it. I’m learning to use photoshop and it is a big challenge but really neat in the end and I just got a fancy new phone with texting- super addicting.

Lee Ann - I think YOURS are hard!!!! So many of them take a long time! Good luck! I can’t wait to make mine in a few months!

Amber - LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to make mine!!! :o) Thank you for sharing. 😀

Mama Sue - You really need to do it…I’m turning 50 in March and still have the same list as when I was 35…except for having a baby…did that when I was 40…I’m a late bloomer:)

Amanda B - I have a few comments on your list…when you learn photoshop, then gives host a class; we’ll let you sleep till noon in Dec, but you may wake up with some artwork on your face; go camping in a tent at Winfield; combine your “meet awesome bloggers” with your craft weekend at your house – invite julie, heather and sarah back and then I’ll invite myself.
Oh, and WOW…35????????? That’s in like 8 years, right?

se7en - That is so funky and bright – love it! I have never had a pedicure but just lately I have been hunkering after one!!! hunker, hunker!!! As for family pictures… I would love one with everyone looking just normal – not one weird face amongst the smilers, or one crumpled grouch amongst the smilers. You know what I mean! Have a great weekend…

Scrappy Girl - That is such a cool idea…although I have barely a month til I turn 35…maybe it should be 35 things to do while I am 35…that works doesn’t it!

mary - awesome list meg! i need to do the same, maybe today….i will put that on my list of things to do hahaha!
