List 10: Wishlist

Hello everyone! How are you doing?! It is almost Friday! Thank goodness.
Today's list is fun, and interesting. I realized I don't have many wishes right now, and I am not taking that as a bad thing, I am going to to think of it as I am content. <3

On this list is:
1.To get really good at Arabic.
2. Go to Egypt for the TEFL Certificate.
3. Sparkly TOMS.
4.Learn how to have alone time.
5. Ipod
6. A study bible
**notice my numbers are in arabic :)**

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs

Today's list focuses on where we spend a fair amount of our time while on the internet! I think many (if not all!) of us can think of a handful of fun blogs/websites/social media sites we enjoy ;)

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs

Here's my list for the day :) The paper is itty bitty--about the size of my hand--so I had to make this list count! I mentioned in a few comments left on the Flickr group that my writing is ginormous, so squeezing these words onto this sheet of paper was a challenge in-and-of-itself. I also wanted to photograph my list this way so you can see the backsides of my previous lists :D I love little surprises like that.

For those not familiar with Reserve America, it is an amazing website I use to make reservations for my camping trips, and it gives you a good idea of what to expect at each campground. I love using it! Also, Yelp! is a user-based review website for stores/restaurants/places of business. Like Foursquare, this site lets you check-in, earn badges, and become the duke/duchess of places you frequent. love, love, love.

What are your favorite websites/blogs?

Speaking of websites/blogs, you can read about Amy, Justine, and me and our lives outside 30 Days of Lists on each of our blogs, respectively. Also, be sure to leave a link to your website/blog in the thread labeled Introductions on the Flickr group, so others can find you :)

List 8: In My Bag featuring Moorea Seal

Good morning! We are so excited to introduce one of our gifted sponsors to guest post today!

For today's list, take a look at what you carry around every day - What is in your bag?

If you don't have a purse, maybe your backpack or camera bag or computer bag? If no bag, what do you keep in your pockets? What else do you need to have with you at a moment's notice?

Today Moorea Seal is going to show us what is in HER bag!

Hi there everyone! I'm Moorea from moorea-seal.com. Today I'm going to give you a little tour of "What's in my bag Backpack!" As much as I love purses, I have a lot of heavy things that I carry around everyday and I prefer the balance and support that my body gets from using a backpack rather than a purse. Plus, I'm 24 and I figure I can still get away with toting around a backpack for a few more years :)

These are all of the essentials for my backpack. Since I work from home at least 12 hours a day, I can go a little stir crazy being held up inside of my tiny apartment. So my backpack and I usually visit a coffeeshop once every 1-2 days just to keep the work day spicy and fresh. It's helpful that my boyfriend is a barista too. :)

So here's my list of everything in my backpack:

1. Pens, Pencils, and Erasers. I'm a professional Illustrator and obsessive list maker so my bag of goodies is a necessity!

2. Cell Phone. I have a Droid. It works well but I still dream about having an iphone instead :)

3. Wallet. I don't really like the color red, but I figured, hey, if I get a red wallet, I'll never lose it because it's the only red thing I'll own and it's bright color will make it easy to find. (I'm really forgetful.)

4. My little notebook. This is where I keep ideas for blog designs (I'm a blog designer for Freckled Nest). I'm usually toting around this notebook or one of two others that help keep my mind sane juggling lots of jobs.

5. Chapsticks. Despite the constant rain in Seattle, the air sucks all the moisture out of ya. Chapstick options are a must.

6. Daily Planner. I love this planner by Moleskin. My everyday lists are usually huge and this manages to hold big lists in a perfectly sized small planner. It's also red so I can find it when I lose it, heehee.

7. Keys. My boyfriend got me a pretty little wooden key chain that has a secret storage compartment. I love it, but have yet to figure out what secret small things to stash inside.

8. Dried Cranberries. I'm always craving sweets. These help with my sweets lust.

9. Tiger's Milk Protein Bar. Once again, always craving chocolate, so at least with this I get a little protein too. :)

10. Little Earphones. These are a must for coffeeshop hopping. Some coffeeshops play the loudest, worst music ever.

11. Drawing Pad. I'm an illustrator! I draw most everything by hand.

12. Macbook. Ah, one day I'll have enough money for a Macbook Pro upgrade. One day...

13. Custom Laptop Case. Isn't it so pretty! I took that photo myself of a friend, and a laptop case company had it printed on the case. I can't remember the company's name though... shoot.

So there you have it! That's everything I need day to day in my backpack. What are some essential staples in your purse of backpack? I'd love to see some photos!

List 7: Blog Goals

Well, this is a good topic, because, I think its safe to say we all love blogs. And, theres a big chance a lot of us have blogs, which then means we most likely have a lot of blog goals! Yay! See why I am loving all of these prompts? There are so applicable to my life, I love writing them all down. So, my blog, A New Beginning. It is/was my 3rd blog in a span of a year, I kept deleting my blogs and starting new. But this time, I am keeping myself sane, organized, and I have reasonable blog goals! Here there are:

This list includes:
*Keep her up and running for over a year.
*Finalize a weekly feature.
*Meet some of the incredible ladies!
*Open up design shop again.
*HAVE A BLOG PARTY (before summer).
*Blog 5x a week again.

-----------------------------------

Don't have a blog? 

Tell us about your writing goals! 

Kam's writing goals:

• Respond to pen pal letters as soon as I read them
• Write to my grandmother at least twice a month
• Master the art of the semicolon
• Re-read my blog posts for spelling errors, it's happened twice this month!
  

List 6: Least Favorite Words

Hi, it's Kam. These are a few of my least favorite words and phrases...the first one is in code because I hate the word that much! If you're a Sex in the City fan, you'll be able to decipher it. UGH. The others have a story behind them, but I'm not that interesting ;)

Justine here, I am going to be honest, this was a hard list for me to come up with, I guess I don't have words I hate, unless they are hurtful. <3

The above is my list (Amy) ... Like Justine, there's not a ton of words I don't like.
So I changed the list prompt and noted some of my favorite words!

ex: I kind of love the word 'amiable' since it has my name in it :)

What are your least favorite words and why?

List 5: Weekend Goals

For this page, I used a paint chip sample I snagged from the hardware store. These goals are my goals every weekend.

I'm currently in Las Vegas celebrating my baby bother's 21st birthday, so I guess I should add to this list:

• take plenty of photos of my brother doing silly things
• don't get lost on the strip
• see the sun rise
• get a ludicrously large beverage shaped like one of the casinos
• find a cool magnet
• buy lost of postcards

What are you goals for the weekend?

List 4: Today's Playlist

Day 4! Happy Friday!

For today's list prompt, pay attention to what you're LISTENING to throughout the day (or plan on listening to)

List 4: Today's Playlist

I have a couple things I listen to ALL THE TIME .... and then on top of that I'm on a pop music kick.

I'm not exactly known for my cutting-edge taste in music :)

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

The image posted here is the cover art for the musical soundtrack to In The Heights - which I literally listen to all the time. ALL the time.

Text reads:

In the Heights soundtrack - ALWAYS, Stuff You Should Know podcast, Amy Winehouse, CeeLo Green's 'F*ck You', Barenaked Ladies, Kanye's 'Monster', Lady Gaga

List 2: Things I'm Good At

It may not be grammatically correct, but this is a good time to remind ourselves of things in which we happen to excel (see what I did there?).

Prompt 2: Things I'm Good At

So a story behind this...

I was working on this page late one night and thought it would be funny to be a little too honest with myself. About a week later, Amy, Justine, and I divided up the days we would post our finished lists...and I laughed when I found out I would be sharing this this particular list first! 

Do you have a story behind any of the things you are 
going at doing/creating? I'd love to hear it!

P.S. Be sure to post a photo of your lists and your notebook/whatever is keeping your lists together on the group Flickr page, and if you blog about it, share a link in the comments section below!

List 1: A Few Things About Yourself

Welcome welcome welcome!

Today is the first day of our 30 Days of Lists journaling challenge .... and we thought we'd start out nice and easy with a simple prompt

List 1: A few things about yourself

I happen to keep my About page on Lemon and Raspberry in a rough list form.... It's always fun to think about all the hats you wear! Remind yourself you are more than a wife and mother. Remind yourself that your corporate persona is just a piece of you.

Today, make a list of a few things about yourself.

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads

I've got 1 prompt per half-page (not back-to-back) so I have room to post a photo for some of the prompts. Not all prompts will have an image, and none of the images will have any more embellishment than what you see above.

Simple, easy. Minimal.

For me, the list content is the focus.

In case my handwriting is illegible (probably), the text reads:

Wife, sister, daughter, friend, reader, writer, photographer, blogger, Netflix subscriber, procrastinator, planner, crafter, scrapbooker, traveler, cook, English major

Even with adhering the photo, this list prompt took me far less than 10 minutes.

Easy.

We can't wait to see what you guys list about yourself! Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!
