100 Instructables projects

Here's my list of 100 Instructables I want to complete :)
  1.  Best Scratching Post Ever
  2. (Unused) Kitty Litter Facial Mask  
  3. Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk
  4. Terrarium for frogs (I have 3 baby bullfrogs and have been meaning to upgrade tanks...)
  5. Lid keepers for pots and pans (so simple, why didn't I think of this??)
  6. Drinking glasses from wine bottles (could also make vases and candle holders, etc)
  7. Keeping with wine bottle crafts, cool accent lights, (I like to forage in the recycling bins for cool bottles :)
  8. Awesome fake rock/basking spot for Spike.
  9.  Self watering recycled (albeit ugly) plant pots I'm thinking I could use these in smaller scale to plant tree seeds, last time I tried they died from me not watering them before we went camping. This might help prevent such an event from re-occuring :)
  10. Another awesome way to work with recycled glass, very cool after being in the forest and seeing tons of broken bottles and glass. I definitely plan to try this method of making beads.

The List

So I've decided to scrap new year's resolutions in lieu of a Bucket List. New Years can be a time to reflect on the goals I've set here, but really this is a life long adventure, not just a yearly thing. Some of these are big and will take years to accomplish, some of them I'm working on now. Most of them listed here I'm starting over from scratch (for example any roller coasters I've already been on and any states I've previously visited don't count in this case!) My actual list will be posted here. It'll be easier to update it there, this blog is more about my working on the list and accomplishing them than the list itself :)
