This is a great list, isn't it? I had so much fun with it that I've started compiling a new version..I'm about half way there! I'm definitely with you on the no bungee jumping :)

But did you make a scrapbook about the tatooes?

PS: Thought of you while skimming through Martha Stewart Living: Go to marthastewart.com/handmadegifts to see why.

Ruth said...

Tattoos? Two of them?

Deb @ PaperTurtle said...

Hey, thanks, Margaret. I'm all over that.

And yes, Ruth. I have an om (yoga chant)symbol on my backside and a turtle on my foot. :o) I'm good though..no more tats for me.
