On 101 in 1001

December 1, 2015

I’ve wanted to try 101 in 1001 since Stephanie @ Not Entirely Perfect posted her first round but I am a slacker.  Some of these will be super easy because I know I do them yearly but I figure why not make sure I don’t stop? Others will take an actual effort to not be a slacker.

If you have any that are similar or would like to help me knock some of these out feel free to let me know!!
