    Why, happy birthday to you!

    This sounds like a very reasonable list, actually!
    A fair amount of these goals are very concrete —paint a wall, print pictures... I'm more and more in love with concrete lists these days. :)

    Great idea to have a goal list each year. Maybe you can post the checked off list this time next year. Happy Birthday!

    Great goals, thanks for sharing! You could even do posts each time you finish one of the items to share your progress!

    That's a great list! I like that you purposely kept some of it flexible.

    For your classic books, I definitely recommend Jane Eyre or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

    Let's become really good friends before you drink the Dom. I will serendipitously decide to visit you that weekend.

    Stela, this is a great list girl! Totally doable! I use to cross stitch and loved it. Start off with small pattern. You'll enjoy it. And I''m already loving the new look of your blog. Ohhhh! I ordered that book Q&A. I wanted to have it so I can start it in the new year. Thank you for the suggestion and I will be featuring it near Christmas time to my readers. Of course a shout out to you! :D
