Congrats on the blog!! :)
I really liked the 101 in 1001! that is inspiring! I've been trying to do something like that lately, but since we've had so much change, it's been difficult to sit down and set some concrete goals. Now I'm going to do it! Maybe I'll even post it on my blog so that I can have some help accomplishing it!! :)
I'm glad we read lots of the same books...keep giving me references to good books. We have no library, so I can't just go check things out! So I depend on good reviews for good literature to purchase for our personal library!
Sorry about the super long comment!! It's good to 'see' you! :)
Love ya!!!

By the way, your blog link is now on my blog...so I'll be checking in on you often!! :)

I see you sell Creative Memories.....

(Sorry about all the random comments. I'm anxiously awaiting a phone call this morning to see if the rest of our stuff is coming today or tomorrow, and I just plain can't focus on anything!!)

Oh, and by-the-by, it's an average of a goal every 10 days :)
