I always like reading these things. It's fun getting to know each other better. I think I'll give it a spin. That way I won't have to think too hard about tomorrow's blog entry!
by the looks of all of those adventurous things in bold on this list, i'd say that you've had quite a full life so far! and now you're adding "grandma" to the list again...congratulations, julie! what a sweet blessing!!
:)
A lightening storm at sea. That's one I would love to experience.
Congratulations Grandma!!!!! I see he was born on his sisters birthday party day- was it her actual birthday? Enjoy them! Enjoyed learning a few things about you....
Julie, I don't know how many people would say they 'have enough money to be satisfied'...you're truly special (in the know). The killing and preparing an animal one got me too! Wow.
I posted this awhile ago on my blog I think. I love doing these things!
Great Idea and very informing!
these are so fantastic, think i'll give it a go.tee hee.
it's also fun to go through such list & learn more about the person behind it!
Good bucket list Julie.
Ciao amica,
Suzanne
Wow Julie! I can't think of 5 things I've done that are as exciting. #23 and #26...tsk tsk Julie:)
Congratulations ! :)
Wow! You've hit a home run? Well done!
Congrats on the newest bundle O'Joy ! much love from the Gang at Black Street ps. a great list !
Thanks Julie, for your comment about my bird drawings. I've come to the same conclusion as to the big eyed ones being the most original....it is hard as heck to be original with a subject that has been drawn as much as this one. My final design for now combines some elements of all of the drawings on that page. I appreciate your input. It is good to hear a fellow artist's opinion.
