twelve by 2012

it seems to be that time of year when everyone is starting to think about all the things they need to do by the end of the year, or rather all the things they haven't done this year and really need to do in the little time left of this year. if that makes sense... i have seen so many to do lists and goal lists around lately. 

being 2011, i started this year with a lot of excitement of what the year would hold. eleven is not just a number that seems to pop up, everytime it appears i kind of feel like it's fate or something. and just because it is 2011 and therefore a self-deemed lucky year for me, that has spurred me on in a lot of ways. 

i am freaking out a bit that another year is nearly over. seriously, do years go so much faster as you get older? it is 1 day short of eleven weeks until the end of 2011 (i counted!) and i thought now is the perfect time to set some last minute goals. so you can imagine my excitement when i saw danni's project twelve by 2012! there are a lot of people taking part in this. such a fun way of being proactive. and i do love a good list hehe!

so here is my list...

1. archive and catalogue all of my family photos

2. ride a horse

3. organise my desk, notebooks, pieces of paper with ideas scribbled on them etc

4. write at least one letter to each of my friends in europe

5. put together a mailing list

6. write a short story

7. get the elevens club up set up

8. design some tshirts for eleven things shop (hoping to launch early in 2012!)

9. start my quest to find the best brownie recipe

10. say hello to more of the lovely people out there

11. have a breakfast picnic at the beach

psst... i am doing eleven by 2012 because this is eleven things and that's just how we roll.  i will tick off each thing once i have done it. yay! so excited!
