Day 12: Bulletin Board plus memories


So Today will I was out I picked up the Dry Erase Calendar and also the weekly calendar at the Dollar Store.  I have had the Bulletin Board up for several years in my room and I had not changed it for many years.  I love the play Les Miserables and bought/ put up the poster back when I saw it 2005.  

Moving left to right:
- I have my 1st Half Marathon Medal.
- two ornaments that I was given several years ago
- a dolphin that I picked up during my Senior trip
- Dream sign
- Les Miserables button
- Shell from Hawaii that I got while out in Kansas City, MO during Skills USA in 2007
- In the middle at the top: I have a sign Live, Laugh, Love, Craft
- little press flower sign with my name
- My Revvie from 2011
- Another Live - Laugh - Love sign (Love that phrase)
- Dream sign
- My BWC and Baltimore Half Marathon Bibs from 2011
- My Ribbon from Broadneck Marching Band with my stars and Bruin
- My crab name tag from the TNT Dinner before the Half Marathon
-  Butterfly Push Pins
- Pins: gold Bruin paw print, Heart shaped Chessie Train Pin, Maroon Bruin Paw print, Les Miserables Flag pin, and Hobo Railroad Pin

I love having all of these memories above my bed. 

Day 11 (Plus CATCHING UP): Journey Tribute Band


Journey Tribute Band at Coconut Joe's on 1.11





Additional Photos from the night.  Which means that I have caught up and taken 11 photos so far this year.  

Day 10: Calamari


Belvedere Staff Holiday Party - January 10th.  We had to move it due to the snow the Friday before.  My friend texted me asking if we still had calamari and salad left since she did not want pizza.  So I sent her this photo of the last piece on the plate.  

Missing Days 1.6 - 1.9

So I already fell behind on taking a picture a day.  The week got away from me with it being the first full week back from Winter Break.  It was also a crazy week with the weather being so cold and also being icy.  So I missed from 1.6 - 1.9.  I did make it up on 1.11 by taking extra photos at the concert that I went to.

Day 5: Kindle


One of my Christmas Presents.  On the Snow Day I set a goal for myself to finish 3 books over the weekend.  I spent Sunday night finishing the 3rd book for the weekend and the 4th book in the James Potter Series.  I'm in love this series and they get better with each book.  I hope that Lippert writes another 3 books so we can see James Potter through Hogwarts.  

Day 4: Photo a Day Smash Book


Spent a couple of hours on last Saturday putting the photos from my December photo challenge into a SMASH Book.  My idea is to print all the photos from the year in put them into this SMASH book.  I have all of the December pages done with little accents of stickers.  I also have the date on every photo and what I was to take a picture of.  I think this is going to be something that will be fun to look back at next year.
