My Summer List review

Back in July I wrote about what I wanted to do during the summer, which you can read here. In that post I wrote a list containing six things that I wanted to do over the summer. So I thought I would review how well I did.

I really enjoyed summer this year and did lots of different things. I will admit I did forget about the list by the end of summer as I had a lot of school work to do. Anyway lets see how well I did.

1. I spent three days decorating my bedroom all by myself and I am proud of what I have done. I painted all the walls, moved furniture, put pictures in the wall, etc. But I did need a bit of help building some of the flat pack furniture. I'm really pleased with what I have achieved.

2. In July I did get my second pair of ear piercings. I got my second set on my earlobes done. I'm really happy with them. Both of my parents don't want me to get any more piercing though. Part of me is tempted to get my ear cartilage done but I think I'm too scared to ever get it done.

3. Unfortunately I haven't finished my Wreck This Journal. I have done a lot of work on it over the summer but in the end I ran out of time. I would like to finish it before the end of this year.

I painted the front cover with nail varnish.

4. I did finish my summer knitting project. I enjoy knitting and felt that this summer I wanted to do some charity work while doing a favourite hobby. I didn't realise how many charities there are that incorporated sewing and knitting. I thought doing this knitting project would be good because I could do charity work without it interrupting my school work. I knitted 8x8" squares which I am sending to a charity to be made into blankets. The blankets are then given to orphan children in Southern Africa to help keep them warm when the weather is cold.

5. I have not started my Year 11 scrapbook. I have printed out my photos and have tickets, leaflets and postcards linked to school trips in my last year of High School. However I realised that there is so much stuff, I will need to make a scrap box instead of a scrapbook full of memories.

6. Finally I did achieve my goal of making 10 new blog posts.

If you are interested in any of the six things on my list let me know in the comments and I will answer questions or make a post explaining it more in detail.
