I found this meme on Ali Edwards's blog, though she credits her sister. I thought it made a nice variation for my Monday morning check-in. Today's photograph is of the apple tree which is finally starting to blossom.

Love this Rinda! I saw it on Ali's blog and thought I'd have a go too. Another interesting peek into your life:)
ReplyDeletebeautiful photo and great list - been thinking of doing it too. I love Project runway too
ReplyDeleteI like that photo the colouring is so unusual
ReplyDeleteI also like the idea of a list like that, no good at to do list but I fancy doing this one as it is more like thought processing than 'got to do'
That perennial to do list looks so familiar just change art desk to scrapbooking desk. :) Ok, I need to go check this out on Ali's blog. You're going to be so near me but still so far later in the week. (:
ReplyDeleteGreat peek into your life Rinda...love these kind of posts!

I love this Rinda, Your perennial to do list could be mine and your Liquor shelf, change the rum to white and it is mine. :)
ReplyDeleteI also saw this on Ali's blog - I think the prompts really give an insight to life of the blogger ... homework had to be on the agenda here tonight ... my fridge could tell a story all of its own!
ReplyDeleteFascinating list! I've been too busy and am way behind on reading Ali's blog so I hadn't seen this one. I'm glad to see others have a perennial to do list! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think I could probably combine at least a couple of these and say - what's on my perennial to do list? Clean my refrigerator shelves!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great list
What fun to read your "what's on my" lists. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat look at What's On in your world! My perennial to-do list looks very similar except that my craft table is clean & I finally got all last year's photos processed!
ReplyDeleteLove this list - a great thing to read as a post.
ReplyDeleteLovely apple blossom!
ReplyDeleteand I see we like a lot of the same entertainment ;)

p.s. Happy Earth Day ... every day!
I like this meme! Fun things like whats on your screensaver- such a great peek into your life.
ReplyDeleteI love these sort of posts - a peek into someone else's life is always interesting.

A tiny window into your life Rinda. Sounds like you are living it well.
ReplyDeleteA fun post and enjoyable read x
ReplyDeleteGreat list of things! Making sure the boys do their homework is always on the top of my to do list.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a full and fun life!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this list, Rinda. It made me smile to know that the heart rock I gave you is on your nightstand. ♥
ReplyDeleteYou always have such a cool set of music going on - don't you just LOVE Jason's 93 Million Miles song? Fav!!!
Planning an 18th birthday party sounds like fun. I'm hoping my son will let me plan a party for his 16th birthday. He'd rather have a small group of family (much like me), but I enjoy seeing him with his friends.
