Lord, help me not to disregard or compete with others in an effort to be number one. I pray for opportunities to show love to others by helping others get ahead and reach their goals in life.

Love Out Loud -- Joyce Meyer

I found the blog site "Eileen's Machine Embroidery Blog" last night.  She had an interesting article called "The Embroiderer's Bucket List".  What caught my attention was the statment she made -- "You’ll find if you write it down, you’re apt to tackle some of those easy-to-put-off complicated embroidery projects. And once you do, you’ll probably discover that they were way easier than you imagined."  What a great idea that is.  So I decided to create my own bucket list but it's going to contain not just the embroidery projects I want to do but other type of projects as well. 

My bucket list for August --

1. Finish pink flowered top
2. Make bed caddy
3. Finish Advent Calendar
4. Make pink lemonade cupcakes
5. Scrapbook Cake Pop Baking page
6. Do journaling for 6 scrapbook pages completed
7. Grayson's car stack embroidered t-shirt
8. June's dragonfly stack embroidered t-shrit
9. Make spice cake balls
10. My clothesline flip-flop t-shirt
11. Make taco cups

I'm keeping my list short so I don't get overwhelmed.  I tend to "bite off more than I can chew" and make a long list then feel bad when I don't complete it.  Any projects I don't complete this month will roll over to next month. Of course I always have more projects I want to do so I won't have any problems coming up with another list for September. I think that list will consist mostly of the projects I want to do as Christmas gifts.  So I'm off to start working on my bucket list. I'll let you know how it goes.
