  1. I love how you always start your lists with "Count My Blessings!" :)
    I smiled because my to-do list contains many of the same things- one of which being, 'make curtains for my daughter's bedroom' -lol. You did awesome with your list from last month! After reading April's list it sounds like you have a really fun month ahead of you!
    Love your kitty picture! :)

    1. Thanks Dawn. I sure hope I get those curtains done. She has been so patiently waiting. My kitty is one big boy, not fat, just big and such a lover. So sweet.
