Last weekend was VSBN on splitcoast so lots of challenges! One of them asked us to scrap a page that would help us with who we were if we were to wake up with no memory! I was even further inspired by 1busymomof2 and followed her lead and made a list as long as I am old-so 50 things about me, I also used 40 different verbs to put it together and finished it up with 10 She believe statements. I changed from I to she from a challenge by Jessica Sprague-sometimes it amazes me how many different ways I might be inspired to do any one project!

So here is the page. And here is the list-since most of us dont have xray eyes to read such tiny print-which will of course be much larger when this will be printed 12x12~
