They weren’t kidding when they said that the job search is tough right now. In between applying for the few jobs that are out there, I’ve been up to my chin with projects. I LOVE projects.

So here are 13 items on my project list

1. A photo collage for Janet.
   I’ve got all the required tools and supplies. It’s just a matter of getting it done.
2. Thank you cards.
   I was so good about getting my thank you cards out for the shower, but I’ve been a little delayed on the wedding ones. For good reason, I’m printing photos to go into every thank you card and then I had to find big enough cards. Now that I’ve got all I need, it’s just a matter prioritizing.
3. New web site design and implementation.
   A friend of a past client of mine suggested me for this great new web design project. Waiting for a signed contract.
4. Design web site for my cookin’ cousin.
5. Start new blog similar to my shopping blog A Girl Must Shop, but even BETTER!
6. Create a resume site for myself.
7. Declutter and reorganize my “office/closet”.
   My husband is buying me an elliptical and I need to make room for it in my room. This means lots and lots of cleaning.
8. Crafts.
   I had so much fun crafting for the wedding, that I’m going to try some new ones like tile and marble pendants and magnets, jewelry, bulletin boards, etc. Along with my trusty sidekicks – mom and BFF. The sky’s the limit.
9. The gahden.
   I”m totally not a green thumb. Or I haven’t been, but apparently it’s genetic. My gram is a huge gardener, as is my mum and sis and MIL and BFF. So, along with motivation from new husband, i’ve planted bulbs, annuals, herbs, veggies and plenty of flowers. My rose bush(es) are kicking bootie, too!
10. The basement.
    This should be more than one item on the list since it includes organizing and purging our storage areas and setting up a little craft nook in the basement bedroom.
11. De-wallpaper
    We bought our house about 3 years ago, I think and we still have 90% of the really terrible wallpaper on the walls. I bought a wallpaper steamer with a wedding gift card from Home Depot today and I am going to kick that wallpaper’s butt!
12. Paint.
    I have to tell you kids, I LOVE to paint. There’s just something about the finite details and how a new coat of paint can transform an area. Picking out colors for my room (closet/office/soon-to-be-gym).
13. Read, relax, improve thyself.

If you had unlimited time, what projects would you take on?
