Background story, for those of you just now joining me: I made my first “Crazy List” when I was 16 years old, thanks to a book called Put Your Heart On Paper. You can tell I was 16 because of a) the handwriting, b) the underlying teenage angst and c) I misspelled the word gorgeous….
I’ve been enjoying the #365patterns hashtag on Instagram. While there is no way I’ll be able to contribute 365 different patterns, I hope to jump in when I can.

Literally, I’ve spent days agonizing over the wardrobe decisions for this trip….
