Ultimate Update

Fresh off my success in the kitchen with the not just one, but two tasty and sweet, home baked treats, I'm feeling the need to challenge myself. You'll notice below I've posted my updated Ultimate "to do" List. You'll see, alllllll the way down at the bottom of the list, I've added my newest challenge. Considering that I am sorely lacking artistic ability and am a bit short in the creativity department, this one should provide a real growth opportunity.

I've been trolling the Internet for crafty blogs and websites from which to steal inspiration. But, I'm really excited to accept some challenges. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send links to projects or any creative ideas you might come up with on your own. I'm honestly feeling pretty cocky about my possibility for success these days, so you don't have to take it easy on me. Plus, I also look forward to some "failures" since those would probably make for more entertaining posts here anyway.
