# 3... Crossed Off the List

I now officially have business cards unrelated to my actual job.

I ended up getting very simple letterpress ones from Mandate Press (check out Stephanie's great discount on Mandate Press business cards) and am thrilled with how they turned out...

As I’m slogging away at the list, I thought it would be fun to show what I've been able to cross off so far. There’s still so much to do and I have just over a month left. Yikes!

How are you doing on your lists?
