6 MONTH BUCKET LIST
I have decided to make a 6 Month Bucket List for myself. Really it is a to do list that last 6 month. These are things I have wanted to do in my life but just have not made them a priority. Thinking that if I have them on a public list that maybe it will give me more motivation.
So here we go, this is my Bucket List for the next 6 months:
1. Pay off a credit card. Current balance on credit card is $2388.41
2. Get items listed on my Etsy.com site. Currently only selling items via word of mouth and Jeffersonville Farmers and Artisan Market.
3. Lose 10 lbs. Ordered the new Pure Green Coffee Extract capsules, Dr Oz recommends this as a supplement diet aid.
4. Save $1000.00 in new savings account. Need to open up a new saving account at different bank, plan to put Youniquely Me sales money in this account each week.
5. Decrease electric bill. Help the family be more aware of the electricity use, what is needed to be used and what is not and where they can help with this.
6. Go on 3 dates with my husband. Rusty and I do not do enough just the 2 of us. With sports starting up again soon we will need to make a huge effort to make this happen.
7. Quit drinking soda. I am addicted to Diet Coke and I know that I need to stop. It is not go for me and I feel aids in constipation and the cravings for sugars........so just quit already.
8. Donate unwanted items each month. We have some much stuff in our house that we do not need, I need to start going through each and every room in the house and clear it out.
9. Teach a class in my community. I have wanted to teach a class in my community on how to make homemade yogurt and how to make homemade cleaning supplies. I have looked into a little but need to make more of a effort to get this done.
10. Lessen our weekly trash, comfost more, recycle more. We are pretty good about recycling but I think we can do better and we need to start to compost. We do not compost at all and I need to learn more about it.
So there it is. That is what I want to accomplish in the next 6 months. I think most of them are do able but some I will really have to to work on. I will update bi-weekly on my progress.

HOMEMADE PLAYDOH
I made this as one of my new items at the local farmers and artisan market I am in on wednesday. It was super easy and fast. I made 6 batches in about 45 minutes. The scents were Lime, Orange, Grape, Cherry, Watermelon and Lemon, it made 6 bags with balls of each color. It was a hit. While making it my youngest son who will be 12 yrs old in August said that he remember having this as a little kid. It made me smile, they do remember the things I do for them and with them.
I had a few bags left over at the end of the market and dropped them off at a neighbor's that has young kids. Two days later my neighbor and her children brought me a thank you gift of their beeswax. I am so excited to use it. Now to think about what I will make!
Happy Crafting!
P.S. This is a great and inexpensive Birthday or Christmas present or even for a pary goodie bag. Who doesn't like to play with playdoh?
