I am brainstorming ideas for my 20% Project! Here are the ideas I have so far:
1. Improve my Spanish speaking skills - I understand Spanish pretty well, however, my speaking skills are very weak. I will improve these skills by spending 20 minutes per day speaking in Spanish to someone who is fluent in Spanish. I know several people who could help me with this. :)
2. Update my personal photo albums - With everything being digital nowadays, I have fallen way behind with printing my photos. This is a project that has been weighing on my mind for literally years now. I have hundreds and hundreds of photos on flash drives that need to be uploaded, ordered, and put in photo albums! I enjoy organizing photos and sometimes creating scrapbooks if the photos are from a special event or vacation. This would be a rewarding task and I would feel accomplished.
3. Learn to cook several key meals - I am getting married this summer and I would like to be prepared! I would love to have a handful of meals that I feel comfortable making that are both healthy and delicious. I would learn to cook such meals by finding recipes online. I really like AllRecipes.com! After cooking a meal, if I am pleased with it, I would add the recipe to my recipe box!
4. Create my own centerpieces for my wedding - I am a huge fan of DIY projects. That is why I have decided that I want to design and create my own centerpieces for my upcoming summer wedding. I will find ideas on Pinterest, compare prices for materials from different stores online, and create them with my own two hands! :) I feel that creating my own centerpieces and other wedding decorations will make the day even more meaningful because it will be personalized to our interests!
Let me know what you think! I appreciate your input.
