  2. If I can help you out on any of these I will! I like the hand written notes one! I miss snail mail :(
    Also attending a bloggers conference would be great! I didn't know those existed (although it shouldn't surprise me, there is conference for everything now-a-days).

    This year for my birthday I'm making a similar list (24 before 25). I might use some of your idea (and give you credit of course!!)

    I look forward to you progress!

    Talk soon,
    Jen

      I'm looking forward to your list - good luck!
