Project 52

I saw this on one of my favorite blogs Handbags & Handguns and decided it was right up my alley!  I am never one to be caught without some kind of list and I usually have at least two "To Do" lists going every day.  I love the feeling of getting to cross something off and not having to carry it over to my list for the next day!!!  With that said here is my "To Do" list for 2011!
