Welcome to DAY ONE of the "Bucket List" and August Birthdays Blog Hop!!
Michelle at Crafty Chelle is celebrating her birthday today (YAY!), and she has asked a few friends to join her in celebrating by sharing some projects and ideas all about 'Bucket Lists'!! :) If you've hopped along from Ashley then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with our FIRST Birthday Girl -- Michelle's Blog (to start your FUN at the start!!)...
As you hop along, please be sure to wish our friends with August Birthdays a "Happy Birthday!"... And be sure to keep an eye out for the Blog Candy you'll find sprinkled throughout the hop... Remember, this is a TWO DAY hop, so be sure to come back TOMORROW for even MORE Bucket List inspiration!! :)
So.... Do YOU have a Bucket List? As I thought about what I could do for my project, I realized that I don't have much on my list!! It's time to change that!! Life can become all about just getting through the day sometimes... We can get caught up in making it to the weekend instead of making it everything it could be. What kinds of things do people put on their Bucket Lists anyway??? If we want to come up with things we can accomplish on our lists, I thought we might need a creative way to focus on what we dream that we could do if anything were possible...
And so.... Here is my project:
I'd like to thank Michelle for including me in her "Bucket List" Birthday Celebration!! I'd also like to thank all of my wonderful friends and followers who are helping to make this such a FABULOUS hop!! Now.... Before I send you off to your next stop on the hop... What's a hop without some CANDY??? I have a *package of goodies* to send out to one fabulous winner!! :)

i love this idea and your journal jar is so beautiful great idea. and my bucket list would be to just stay healthy and I grow older. that is really all I need. I have had a blissful life and have done pretty much everything I want. hugs
What a great and very creative way to keep track of those things you want to do in life. For my bucket list, I want to learn how to play the piano, publish a children's book, and get a card published in a craft magazine, and learn to live life fuller and more meaningfully. Okay, looks like I gave you more than one! Looks like I need to make my own bucket list project!
Hi Amy, I love your bucket list container. What a wonderful idea and a great place to write down those thing you want to do in life before it is too late. Skydiving is one of the item on my list. My husband is a pilot and thinks that it is crazy to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. So I guess that means I have to do it by myself.. but that's ok.
Your journal jar is so cute! And, a great idea!!!!!
sooo cute---I love the tags---glad I was in this hop with you---but I love your blog and all of your projects!!!
Hugs, Anita
What a neat idea...I love how it turned out and what a great way to store your bucket list items. You are so incredibly talented.
One thing on my bucket list is to go to Australia. There is no particular reason I want to go there, I just do.
Hugs
Brenda
I would be honored if you came to see my blog here
Gorgeous Bucket list jar!! you did an amazing job, (as always) in decorating it! :)
Love your jar. It's so pretty. I'm a new follower. There is only one thing on my bucket list (since I only started it this morning.) I want to visit all the lighthouses in the immediate area.

That is wonderful! My bucket list is just getting started :) thank you for the great idea!
What a great idea and how fun! You always have great ideas- I don't really have a huge bucket list - thankfully I've been able to cross off some of them over the years- Although I do want to go to the South Pacific Islands :)Amy
Love the colors of the box you made, great idea
Mine is to visit my cousin before this year is over she lives 12 hours away.

Amy, that is such a terrific idea. I love your journal jar. Where did you get that to start with? It's so pretty with all your embellishments, and now I'm inspired to have one. I haven't had a bucket list yet, but I've always thought that someday, I would love to travel across the country like for 3-4 weeks! TFS!--Pat N.
Oh I really love your project. It is beautiful. I love your tags that you made with your goals. Very nice.

Love this project! My bucket list- get healthier. I've worked hard to lose a lot of unhealthy weight, unfortunately put a little back on and am back on track to lose it and be able to run circles around my kids. Lead by example! (I am a new follower.)
Love your sweet 'dream' jar and the colors are my favs!! Putting the tags inside is such a good idea! I don't have a bucket list and I am OLD:-) I have things I would still like to do before it is too late -- most have to do with travel like Hawaii and Australia...
