and water colors

and i didn't have any on hand
and wanted to do this today,
so i used some sketch paper
and felt pens ;)
i sat and thought about my summer bucket list;
things i would like to enjoy with the
kids/family before they all move away
it was fun to
come up with things to
do together and
was also fun to make!

to see how many we can

What a great idea! I need to make one of those too, since we have a move to a new house 3000 miles away planned. It is hard to think of anything else and this may get me focused on some fun. Any ideas for making a cross country trip fun AND cheap? Nice to see you again...I have been a linky follower but now I follow on GFC and Twitter too, so maybe I can see you more often. Have a great week, Lori
I like the list idea! Things don't get forgotten that way! Thanks for sharing it!

Love it!
Since we have no money for out-of-town trips ... nor money to pay for gas ... I think I'll make a list like this for all of the things we can do / places we can go in Whatcom County (or just across the border).
It will help us "get up and get going" instead of sitting around thinking, "What should we do today?"
Thanks for sharing.

Awesome idea. I'm a new follower from a blog hop! I would love if you followed me at http://iheartpears.blogspot.com.
What a great idea, Melody.
I think I am gonna make a list for me. It seems like nothing gets accomplished around here unless it makes it onto a list. I love lists!
Fantastic idea!! I'm going to start my list, maybe then I can get some of my dreams fulfilled!
You must be so proud of your daughter and her family! Just think, you can start a bucket list for next year and add a trip to Austria!
Blessings,
Shawn
That's a good list. I was just thinking about making a pallet in the garden and doing that while the moon is not so bright.
A definite summer list worth completing. Sounds like it will all be fun.
love that list on your fridge for everyone to see! It's a good reminder to do what's on it!!!
thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog!
