The Bucket List

Did you know that chicken wire is also known as poultry netting?  I don't why, but when I went to buy some at the Home Depot and saw the name on the packaging it made me laugh out loud.  Maybe it was because it seemed like such a sophisticated name for something that isn't so sophisticated at all.  Well, why was I at Home Depot purchasing chicken wire, you ask?  Because Kayla, Heidi and I came across the cutest idea on Pinterest for a Bucket List Wall Hanging!!!

It is quite well known that I LOVE lists.  I write them up for just about everything; To-Do Lists, Grocery Lists, List of Goals, Books to Read, List of Passwords, List of Important Phone#s... to name a few.  The past couple of years I've written up a Summer Bucket List.  I've enlisted many of my friends, including Kayla and Heidi, to help me go out and accomplish the different activities.

I have now progressed to a yearly Bucket List because I just HAD to make this Wall Hanging. You write each thing you want to do on a little piece of paper and once you do it, you drop the paper into the little bucket. Here is the finished product!

If you'd like to make one of your own, all you need is:

• An old wooden frame (my came from the DI)
• Chicken... I mean, Poultry Netting
• A small bucket
• Ribbon
• Clothes pins
• Paper
• and Staples (to attach the netting to the frame)

Don't worry if your are unable to read the little papers... each bucket list item will be featured on this blog once it has been accomplished.  I really tried to pick things that were actually achievable due to my budget and location.  So no trips to India, visiting the moon, or anything like that this on list.  Still, it is going to be a great year!

With our DI finds.

Doesn't it look nice hanging above my desk?!
