30 Days of Lists, March 7

Favorite Childhood Games

1. Monopoly

2. Jacks

3. Paper Dolls

4. Wish Sandwich Stands in the backyard treehouse. 

5. Hide and Seek

We would play Monopoly games that lasted days. We sure got our money's worth from that game. 

We played Jacks on the sidewalk in front of the house. It was a great game because you could play it with friends, or all by yourself. 

Paper dolls!  Loved them. I kept them in a cereal box in one drawer of my dresser 

We had a few lemonaide stands, but the best fun was wish sandwiches. Bread and Miracle a Whip. You wished you had some meat or cheese to put on it. 

Hide and seek.  Day or night, boy did we have fun. 

Those were the good ole days!

It's my Birthday! !!  Woohoo!

Busy, busy day! Errands, Tanner, Open House, TBall practice and quilt guild meeting!

The listing fun today is just perfect for me since I have Adult Onset ADD. I have it bad!

Projects I am in the Middle of...

1. Ten years ago (at least), I stopped listing my quilt UFOs   In other words, when the list reached 100, I stopped counting (listing)

2. So many knitting projects too!  I have only been knitting 5 years, though, so less than the quilt projects!  The newest is a pair of boot cuffs. One almost done, one to go. 

3. Wedding homework!  8 days til the wedding! I have 24 mason jars to decorate with burlap and lace, The kids game packs to package up and I should wrap up some gifts to help my daughter out too!

4. Always in the middle of documenting memories for the family. 

Everything with me is a work in progress! Some things do have deadlines...like my oldest daughters wedding in EIGHT days, but so many things are open ended!  Not good for someone with AO-ADD! (See above)
