I meant to post this before the New Year actually started, but we were out of Internet then I went on vacation (always traveling, you know me) so it's a few weeks late, but better late than never I suppose. I also meant to put paragraphs describing my reasoning under each item, but I didn't do that beforehand and I'm kinda tired and don't really feel well right now so maybe I'll go back and add them in later but for now just enjoy my list with some pictures (hopefully the pictures load...they look like white boxes right now...oopsie, need some help over here..)
As the year is winding to an end, my newsfeed is filled with
people counting down their favourites of 2016. So I figured I'd join. I know I
haven't posted about all these tops yet, but be patient. Eventually there will
be posts for them all, even if it takes me forever and a day.
(Also PS, went downstairs and my sister has a pack of TimTams
sitting on the counter...they won't be there long ;) #winning)
