That was such fun - I did really enjoy reading it & you are certainly up for a lot more in life than me! No bungee jumping for me that's for sure! You have certainly "lived" & believe in getting the most out of your life. I have done my list but not sure how to scrap it. Yours is a good way but can see that it must have taken forever,lol! ;-)
Michelle this is fabulous and so interesting for a nosey person like me!!
Can't believe you even got five more than 101 things of yourself to share with us. It was great reading your list and once again there are one or two new interesting facts I have learnt about you. Your layout is fantastic and such a clever and creative idea to display your miles long list of facts in a quilt design ... I might just scraplift from you ... although I am still contemplating doing this challenge ... Fantastic project well executed! Hugs from Desire
I LOVE reading these list so a big well done to Tracey G for suggesting them for the BOM challenges...which I am yet to start I have to confess.
What is it with you girls and tattoos - just go for it, I LOVE mine and think I am going to have to get my dh to photograph it and show it to you on the blog :-)
A fun read...thanks a mil
