So after much deliberating and reading a ton of blogs (check out the blogs I'm following!), I have decided I am not going to just read about the fun and interesting things others are doing. I am going to try some things for myself! Not too long ago a movie called "The Bucket List" came out and the title became a buzz word for people who wanted to experience new things in life, but they had never taken the chance. Now I haven't been diagnosed with a terminal disease or anything like that-- I've just started considering the fact that over the years since college, marriage, raising kids, and work have required so much of my attention (not complaining, just saying), I have let the adventurous side of me recede into the background. With time flying by, I decided to get back to me.
Over the last few weeks, I have spent some time looking at other cool blogs to see what others are up to, and I have been inspired. While I like the name "Bucket List," I think it really sounds so cold and final. So, I came up with the idea of a making a "Basket List" of those things I want to try. Nothing way out there, but here's what I've come up with so far:
Learn to bake fresh Bread (I found a number of mouth-watering recipes in a book, "Bread Alone" written by Judith Ryan Hendricks--the story's good too!)

Finish my Tablecloth quilt (I have been working on it for at least 5 years!) (pictures and directions to follow soon!)
(maybe even make a few)
Get back into scrapbooking
Take another Cake decorating class
Spend more time bike riding
Learn to speak Spanish
Learn to garden
I have a ton of other ideas, but as one of my favorite movie characters once sang, "Let's start at the very beginning....a very good place to start!" What's on your "Basket List"?
