Last year, I made a list of 23 things to accomplish at 23. And I accomplished 17 out of 23. But I did nothing to chronicle the adventure aside from a few blog posts. This year, I thought I would just GET STARTED right at the beginning. I put together a 4×6 book of assorted papers and a few photos as a blank canvas for my 24th year.
The list is displayed a few pages in and it is followed by 24 additional pages. Each page will represent one item on the list. Each page is not yet numbered – I will move them around and embellish them as I work on the goals.
I invision this book as a little bit Ali Edwards December Daily and a little bit my Kauai Album on the Road. I hope it gets stuffed with photos and text and menus and receipts and plane tickets and all the memorabilia I will collect as I accomplish 24 different things this year.

Love this. Oh, and I just discovered Chanel Chance this year by pure luck and absolutely love it. It’s pretty affordable, looks nice on your dresser, and smells like magic.
