I like lists. (If that’s not a descriptor of my personality, I don’t know what is.)
I also like to reflect. Maybe too much at times. But that’s ok.
And from inspiration from friend one and two, these are my reflections on 2008, via list.

I LOVE that post. I feel like I lived 2008 with you. And your new profile pic of you...GORGEOUS. I love you so much friend!
Of course I remember you girls. I've checked in on Christina's facebook because I remembered you guys were from Spfld but figured they were still in Texas.
I'm really excited about the RVA store opening next month. I've been working on quilts for it this afternoon and have all of these check lists in my studio to keep me on track lest I become panicky!
It should be open before you're in town if you're back in Feb. The grand opening is on Val. Day, I think.
Happy 2009 and thanks for writing!
yay for lists.
and texas.
and so you think you can dance.
love you.
Quite a year. I feel like mine went, " Did some stuff then waited for things to happen. To be continued."
Fun to read.
