all photos from the Winged Balloon Stampede by Lucy Capelle
I like birthdays. They’re the perfect excuse for a party, or even several parties in one week! I would wax poetic about my 26 years of living, except that I want to go out and visit people whilst wearing birthday flowers in my hair. I was looking at my Life List last night… confession: I have a Life List that I’m continuously adding to. And I have it as its own section on my TO DO List app. on my iPhone. So instead of waxing poetic, I will wax To-Do list. These are things I have been fortunate enough to check off in the last 26 years…
