    Please include me again this year. I would like to reach a total of 30 items not huge I know but time constraints etc. I am also going to include packs of seeds in this and I know they are not craft but I probably have as many if not more than I have of my cross stitch kits lol

    Hello -and Happy New Challenge to you all.

    I thought I'd posted that I was up for this again, but, hey ho, I must have been dreaming. Anyway, I'll go for 500 this time round, please. Tomorrow is the start of "normality" (whatever that is) so I hope to get cracking soon afterwards.

    Good luck.

    I am up for this - and will be aiming to make 100 things.

    I will have to buy glue and notions etc - but won't get either until I have started projects.

    I am making the exception - if I sell anything (sometimes if I knock up something out of my stash someone gives me a little for materials I will re-invest)...

    Happy crafting to all...

    Today I decluttered my bedroom and in doing so got shut of some craft projects that realistically I'm never going to finish. So while not wanting to count it in my total, I have been busy :)

    Hi everyone,


    It's great to see some familiar faces from last year joining up again for this year :)


    I can declare 10 more things towards my total.


    I have completed 9 more 2014 Project Life scrapbook pages. I now just have to wait for the remaining photos for the year to be delivered after ordering them whilst they were half price on Friday.


    I have also converted a little plastic jar which once contained glass heart shaped stones (which I made into magnets) into a "Disney Holiday Money" savings jar. I think it looks lovely and it is already making me want to put money inside. Now I just have to hope that hubby doesn't lose his job and we can't go!


    Happy stash busting everyone :)

    Hello! I'd like to join please!

    I had a bit of a manic year as I originally joined the previous thread, but then had a baby and craft went out of the window for months and months! I have started up a little Faceache selling page (making lovely scrapbook style photo frames) a few months ago and have been destashing and making a little money at the same time. :)

    I'm going to have to be a little looser with the rules as I do have to buy some things for my little business, but I want to make sure I only buy what I know I will use! I get too carried away with all the pretty things! :o

    I will aim for 100 items completed. I also need to have a good clear out as there are plenty of things filling up boxes that will never be used but will count that towards my separate decluttering challenge! :)

    ETA: Craftingmad- we're also going to Orlando this year! :j I hope that the money I make from selling things will go towards upgrading our holiday and getting some extra treats when we're away! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
