Awesome! You did a great job on the list. I would love for you and Mark to get portraits. I get the kids done at MarDel. They have some really great ones they do outside the studio. Check 'em out.
Are you going to carry over the unfinished ones to this year or start a whole new list?
Great job, Lori! I'm with Cathy on the portrait! I did one of the things on your list: tea @ the Grand America!
Lookie who I found on the internet! Nice to see you are a scrapbooker too. Love reading your list. I should make one for 50 (cough, cough). I still have over 2 years to get them marked off!
Some of things I will carry over, and some I might repeat. (I really liked celebrating the birthday with Dom!)Need to get my new list up soon, seeing as it's already July!
