I only managed to complete 67 of the items on the list and had another 6 that I had started but not completed.  I am still pretty happy with what I managed to get done.  This list helped me to try things out that I probably wouldn't have otherwise (like embroidery or stamp carving).  I really enjoyed doing the list and I just can't believe how fast the time has gone!  You will notice that I had as item 77 to write another list of 101.  I have done this but I will wait till another day to share it and start working on it. I am feeling too lazy today to make make it day 1 of my 1001.
