Writer's workshop-My Bucket List




Choose a prompt, post it on your blog, and go to Mama Kat's and sign Mr. Linky. Be sure to sign up with the actual post URL and not just your basic blog URL (click on the title of your post for that URL). For good comment karma try to comment on the three blogs above your name!!

The Prompts:

1.) What would you change about your life if you could?

2.) I wish I would have…describe a time when you didn’t take action, but later wished you would have.

3.) A collector you know.

4.) Photographs can turn a house into a home. Share a photograph that is not on your wall, but should be…if you weren’t so lazy about actually putting it there.

5.) Write a list of 100 things you want to do before you turn 100. Otherwise known as a “bucket list”.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First things first.  Where have I been?  BUSY. SOOOOOOO BUSY.  Yes, I like caps and I used them to express just how busy I have been. BUSY, people.  I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.  Boo, hiss, hiss.  Sorry, too busy today.

Secondly, I haven't posted Biggest Loser in two weeks. I'm such a loser.  But I'm not the biggest loser because last check I had gained weight.  Please get your weights into me for this week. We only have three weeks left.

    Ooo, I hate flip-flops. Can't stand to have that thing between my toes!

    I am starting homeschool this year with my 4th and 2nd graders. Don't know that I'll do it for more than one year, but we'll see.

    Also, just got back from New York in May. It was my first trip, and I am in love with that city! When you go, you'll love it too. :)

    Yes - I too want to find a cute pair of boots. Somehow everyone else seems to have a pair - but I can't any.

    Very nice list - stopping by from Mama Kat's.

    You will learn to sew doll clothes, and you will do it once. Then you will begin buying them again. They are so itty bitty and tiny, and my fingers aren't!

    I would usually have gotten back to you sooner, but I had a wedding this weekend out of state. I am married (we hit the year mark in late May), I am in college and my husband is getting his master's degree/PhD. I am 22. No kids yet, unfortunately, but hopefully soon! Then I will begin not making doll's clothes for my own children instead of my nieces!
