50 projects in 2011-CLOSED

[Ffrogg526]

I will be doing the same as racky.  Two weeks to finish the sketchbook.  I think if I got nothing else done I could turn in what I have right now...  it wouldn't be great but I could turn it in and every page would have some amount of color on it.

So - I have a plan...  now...  to stick to it!  I shall conquer the craft supply mountain that's taking over my space!

Happy New Year Everyone!!  NEW RULES

PLEASE NOTE NEW RULES:

Please do not post your list multiple times...you can do a mini list if you add items so that the rest of us can steal ideas from it  Just not the whole list over and over...

As you complete items, please do NOT post the list--post the project and perhaps the number from your list.

You can also post a link to your project that you posted to another part of Craftster or post the pics directly here for all to see...

I will be spending the next few days cleaning up and pruning the thread so if you want to clean up your own, please do so!  Other wise, you might see some posts disappear and your list might not be as neat as you like it!

I am also keeping a list of all of the participants...like last year, we will have some contests and prizes...the number of projects is not as important as your participation in the thread...

1. Doll House Felt Board

good thing because the munchkin's birthday is in a couple of days and I was running out of time!   



All that isn't pictured are some flowers for the grass.  Now, I just have to figure out how to wrap it!

I slept in WAAAYYYY late today...and we only went to bed around 2am, there should be no reason that I would need to sleep until noon   Too much sleep = another late night to compensate and tired all day tomorrow.  Bleh.  I'm hoping to get started on some project(s) today and likely will finish a couple even with my limited hours left in the day now.  Going out to dinner with friends later, so I'm up against about a 4.5 hour deadline to get things going
