101 in 1001

One of my favorite bloggers, Mackenzie of Design Darling started a To Do/Bucket list called “101 in 1001,” and inspired me to make my own. Mackenzie felt 1001 days (2.75 years) was sufficient yet urgent enough to mark 101 things she’s always wanted to do off her list, and I quite agree! She was so successful she’s begun Part 2! The OCD in me digs her categorization. So without further ado here is my perfect list for 101 in 1001:
