Or just say they're doing the same things. or would like to. or ..anything.Some of these are questions. I will google them or ask about them and find the answer as time and memory permits. Meanwhile, if you know the answer, do my curious mind a favour and tell me! :)If you know links or have more ideas or you know a little about french or dolls or anything else in this list, I'd love to hear from you!Now I'm in a hurry to get on with the list:)

I love lists - I made one for myself a couple of weeks back, always good to write stuff down.

This is fun. I love the idea of making lists. To be honest, when I write a list, I write on my list 'make a list', so that I can cross it off. :)

I think I am going to write things I want/intend to do list on my blog soon.

Thanks for dropping by. Glad I found yours. Here's to neighbors dropping by in blogville.

What a great list, and very ambitious. I don't have any tips on any of these items but if I come across them, I will definitely send them your way! I can't wait to read what all you add along the way!
