So December 1 marked another start for 30 Days of Lists! Yes, yes, we all know there are 31 days in December! Moving right along. This used to occur only twice a year, in March and September, but last year the ladies who sponsor it started one in December. Last year, I did a huge book but didn’t finish until like, February! I wanted it to have all these pictures, stickers, embellishments, etc., like all the other listers on the site. I however discovered I'm way too plain for that shit and I have one tiny creative bone hidden in my body that only surfaces when Keegan has last minute school projects. This year I’m keeping it simple and putting it in here. I was also going to do one post a day but I wrote them all on paper and then typed them up when the month was over, so here they are, all 30 lists! lol
