Welcome to the Book of Lists! Today we’re sharing our first list, and the topic is wishlist. (How many times can I say “list”?)
My goal is to keep this book simple but still cute and fun. This was so easy to throw together and I plan to keep the format mostly the same each time, just changing up small stuff.
an organized + pretty craft room
wood floors to replace the carpet
printer
to work part-time
iPad
quilting stuff
dining room table + chairs
Uncle David’s health
For the content of my list I debated whether to put small things, like what I asked for for Christmas, or larger & more important things. I went with the latter because I felt it was a better representation of my life as a whole right now.
I want to use my Instax mini camera more, and I thought this would be a good project for it. But dang, I have to practice with that thing. The viewfinder is way off from what the photos actually turn out like, and this is the best shot I got at some craft supplies.
I had fun with this and I hope you did too! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. If you participated, leave a link to your post in the comments.
Next month: We’ll be posting on January 7 and the topic is “looking forward.” That could mean what you’re looking forward to, your goals for the year, or however else you interpret it.

From Nora:
This is such a fun monthly activity/exercise for me. I really love it so thanks for hosting/putting it together :) I’m right there with you on a craft room wishlist. I just told Knight last night as I was doing my book at the kitchen table that I would LOVE a real craft room with drawers and holders for all of my stuff.
Excited for next month’s!
From lauren w:
This was fun to put together! I definitely went more of the “this is what I want for Christmas” route. Here’s mine: http://helloitslauren.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/book-of-lists-wish-list/

From Saskia:
I’m particpating too (I found your blog through Kerri from Your Wishcake). I love the idea of a book of lists, even if mine is interspersed through my regular journal. http://eatsleepreadlove.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/book-of-lists/
