Sarah @ Dream In Domestic

What a great idea! I have made a 101 in 1001 list (http://www.dayzeroproject.com/) but haven't actually started it yet. Yours seems more doable because there are less things and it looks really pretty! All of your things sound like so much fun or really practical goals, which is good. I'll link back if I ever get around to actually starting my list.

mary

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

Dana D @BoysMyJoys

Great list!
Has got me thinkin'!
Hmmmm... now I'm off to work on one! (#1 will have to be- to actually finish my list! :) )

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!

Emily

Thanks for the perfect post to read on a Saturday morning... I am inspired to get out of my p.j.'s and actually acomplish some things on my weekend to-do list! Always a joy reading your blog!

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...

CK

Love it! I will be 35 soon. What a great idea! We used your "Summer To Do List" idea and my family loved it. I am not sure if I can do as much in the next 4 months, but a list would be great! Love all the bright colors on yours and the nice blend of "to do" items and "would love to do" items. Thanks for sharing!

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?

Suzette Mahoney

This is so great! I am going to make a list. I just turned 43 this month and think this is a great way to celebrate it! And why are you gonna change your blog? I love it so much!

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:)

lora

Of course you can do it!

Amber

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to make mine!!! :o) Thank you for sharing. :D

Jen Tucker

Not only can you combine your crafty weekend with meeting awesome bloggers, but you can ask everyone to bring a bottle of wine and have your own wine tasting while making jewelry! Four birds, one stone.

And might I suggest you begin with earrings? They're simple, fun and quite satisfying!

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!

Lindsay

I LOVE this idea! I am definately going to have to make one of these and then actually accomplish it. I would love to post mine as well. It is a great feeling when you know you have inspired somebody; just as you were inspired and now inspiring all of us. Have a great weekend!

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.

Julia

i've never heard of peppernuts before.

you're welcome to my beach (just a short bike ride away!) anytime.

Bec

ps my mom is also a quilter.....I'll just tell her to stop by ;)

mom

This is a great post - be sure to link it with facebook! I might have to make my own list!

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...

adrienneK

very neat! i made a 25 thing to do while im 25 (this year) list but mine wasnt as pretty!it does help to have goals written down and it feels good when youve accomplished one and mark it off the list!

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.

Shelly

New blog / change your blog.... WHAT?????? I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog just as it is! My favorite to check everyday! Cool fun list, hope you have a blast goin after those goals!

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 www.kgraphicsstudio.com could totally help you out with business cards!

anna

that's so awesome! what a great idea!

so i just assumed that you already were using photoshop. do you use anything now? because i would love to learn some type of photo editing program. do you know of a good free program to use?

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!!

Stephanie

Hey Meg, I also was inspired by Michelle's list. I made mine back in August, but thanks to you was reminded today to do a little update. I created my list just a month before I celebrated my 40th birthday in September, but I'm still pluggin away. It really is great incentive to get some projects done and have a little fun too!
Here's my update:
http://afinehouse.blogspot.com/2009/10/39-things-update.html

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.

susie whyte

the 'camping in a tent...outside' made me laugh so hard. :)
just posted my list!

erin

this is fun! I may have to make a list too :)

Diana

COOL! I can help you with that digital scrapbook! I design for Scrapbook MAX! (http://scrapbookmax.com ...there's a free trial link on the site, of course) It's THE BEST digital scrapbooking software!

*gasp* Oh my, sorry for the ad! LOL! But really... if you decide to buy it, I'll give you some freebie kits and templates. Right now we're running challenges for chances to win in random drawings FREE copies of the NEW upgrade version of the software! My challenge starts soon ;)

LOVE your list! Think I'll go make one for myself.... :D

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!

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.

tinycandi.blogspot.com

This is an awesome idea! I'm definitely going to make one. :)

twitter.com/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!

Trac-;o)

What a great idea, Meg! Thanks for sharing! :o)

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.

Tammy

I have one and my time is quickly ticking away!

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.

Katie

How did you make that list so beautiful?! That is the loveliest looking list I have ever seen!

julie

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

Valerie

I know how you can check one item off your list:

go to crafthope.org -- this month's project is to make quilts for homeless kids. There are even some patterns up there to get you started, and if making the entire thing yourself is too daunting of a task, you can just make the quilt top and mail it with the backing and batting and binding materials for the girls to finish.

Just an idea anyway. :) Love your blog...

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!

Summer

I really love your list. I want a list. I'll get on that.

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 www.darrahsonline.blogspot.com you will see a link to "Our family scrapbook" on the left side. Check it out!

elizabeth

The best cinnamon rolls EVER are in Richard Sax's Classic Home Desserts. And I love this list. Although I'm ten years ahead of you and I suppose must make a list of things to do before I turn 47.

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!!

Kristy

love the list!!!
what a great idea!
and not only is it a great list, it looks so cool.
think i might do a list :O)
thanks for the inspiration.

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.

Melanie

I love list so this would be a great thing for me to do:)

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)!

Laura Phelps

you're so young

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!!

Cookin' with Kelly

Here's a good pork recipe for your crockpot.
1 pork loin
1 can rotel
1 pkg taco seasoning.
place meat 1st in crock pot then cover w/ the rotel & taco seasoning. Cook on low approx. 8 hrs. Shred & serve w/ tortillas or taco shells. Enjoy!

Michele

Unless I write it down, it won't get done--great idea!! BTW, I made the glazed apple bars last night...super delish! Everyone loved them. I'm a chocolate girl, & I can't stop eating them! Thanks!

Ruth

change your blog???? but it's perfect!

Renee

Brilliant idea, Meg. I tried making a list, too. Got to #14 and petered out. I guess that's what it's like as I approach 40. LOL Have you seriously never had a pedicure??? That made me laugh, only because I don't particularly enjoy the experience (more the results). I'm extremely ticklish, and for some reason, I always manage to get cut. Bummer. xoxo

your cool friend Cheryl

I love your list!

I can't believe you don't already have photoshop...your pics are gorgeous!

Lori

I love your list! I saw this list idea somewhere and now it's on my list of things to do. Yours is beautiful :)

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!

cre8ivegirl

Have one weekend at home with no kids...now that is good! Can I make one large poster with just that saying? Great idea. I am fast approaching 40...ugh

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......:)

tasha roe

rad list!!
ps - i am selling my photoshop for windows if you are interested - cs2

Ashley Ann

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

Nancy-The Goat and The Kid

First of all.. I a list fiend. I always talk about what I want to do someday. So, I called mine.... MY SOMEDAY LIST.
So much fun. If we base it on age, I couldn't get all 36 on there. Thanks for the inspiration. Can I be your new "Awesome Blogger"???? :)
http://thegoatandthekid.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-someday-list.html

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.

http://meredith-countitalljoy.blogspot.com/2009/10/daringpart-2.html

traci

awesome list. i see all of them being accomplished with ease.

kasey

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

Leslie

Great list and great idea!! My "to do" list tends to get stuck in my head. Maybe I need to put it down on paper to get it done!?! Hopefully you will get it all accomplished.

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.

Courtney

I made my list here:
www.vintagegingerpeaches.com
thanks for the inspiration! It's good to have goals :)

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:

Problem Solvin Mom

I think your list is fantastic, and beautiful too which is so important with lists like this! :) {{seriously}}

I have a super easy failproof pork recipe that can get you started! If you're interested check out my recipe section.

Thanks for the inspiration!!

Stephanie Carroll

Aljolynn

pve

aimee

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!

princesslasertron

I'm soo making a list!
And sleeping till noon?
HAHAHAHAHA

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:
http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/2009/10/58-things-i-hope-to-do-before-i-turn-59.html

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

Connie

Love this idea!!!
I can help knock one of these off for you, well actually a couple of them. I am a graphic designer who designs business cards AND knows how to use Photoshop really well, which I could teach you if you get the program! Let me know and I will hook you up!

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!

http://thewalquists.blogspot.com/

Lisa

Interesting list and a great looking blog! I can't wait to spend more time exploring your blog.

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.

No.17CherryTreeLane

PS--how did you create it?

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?

Jodi

I made a list.....thanks for the inspiration!

rebecca

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

Laura

I love your list I'm going to make a before I'm fifty, can't believe that is realy an age I be in 3 years.
Can't wait for yor Etsy items to post.

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.

Karen Cleary

I love this idea and have spent the last couple hours caught up in reading your list and everyone else's lists that are linked from here. You have all inspired me to create my own list which can be found here:
http://karens40before40.blogspot.com/
Although, I gave myself just over 2 years to complete my list. Some of my items have been lifelong dreams and I hope I am able to do them all. Good luck to everyone else and their lists. Have lots of adventures!!!

Jessica Reed

I realize I'm a bit late, but I did this today, and linked to your in my blog entry.

http://oneshinystar.blogspot.com/2010/03/things-to-do.html

Tracy Fisher

I just realized my next big bday is 50!!! Yikes... what happened?!!! What a great idea... 50 for 50!

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.

xo Nicole

Amy
