If you're not familiar with the 101 in 1001 List, you can learn more in my original post and see what I accomplished after my first round ,but basically it's a list of things you want to accomplish and dreams you have...101 of them to be exact. From the time you post the list, you have 1001 days to cross them off and make things happen.
One thing that helped me, was printing the list out so I can constantly look at it and get things accomplished. I have found that having lists in paper format REALLY help me in the areas of planning and staying motivated.
I've updated my list by crossing things off and marking the date they happened and also created some links so you can check out my progress where applicable. Let's see what I've accomplished since the last time we checked in.

I made another craft--a patterned dream board that is on display in a corner of our bedroom. It serves as great inspiration and showcases some of my prints from my Etsy shop.

If you don't have a 101 in 1001 list- what would you put on it? What should I try and knock out next?
