  3. What a great list! I've got one like that in the works too.

    Let me know if you make Tulip Time! I went to high school there - I can direct you to all the right food stands to visit. I might even make it there this year!

    I also love to paint interior walls! If decorating your bedroom includes a new paint job... let me know. :) -Maustin
