50 THINGS TO DO IN MY 50TH YEAR
I am coming to the end of my 50th Year, and I have not achieved as much as I had hoped by this time, but family circumstances have meant my free time has been swallowed up and our planned visit to Scotland had to be cancelled. I am not overly disappointed as the whole project has made me think about those little things that make life so special. Like this week when I made a celebration cake for my beautiful daughters 30th Birthday, it was so lovely to do something special for her and it may not have gone according to plan but it was fun and interesting to learn a new skill.
I have gone through the list and have highlighted in red those things that will just have to wait but the ones in blue I am still planning and they may not come in right on time but it shouldn't be to long.
So off I go to try and finish those in blue x

22 to go Over Half way now!
Wow, looks like you've already been very busy, That cake looks fabulous by the way! Good luck in achieveing all of the blue ones!
ReplyDeleteMy boss was given a similar challenge a few years ago, 30 forms of transport in her 30th year. By 'altering' a few of them she just managed to complete it, but it takes a lot of effort to do so much in just 1 year!
Good luck and congratulations!

A very interesting list. I think you have done well to get as many done as you have. Some of the ones left seem very difficult - like the butterfly so good luck. A great challenge to yourself!
ReplyDeleteI think your list is fantastic, I'd love to do something similar.
ReplyDeleteGreat cake!
