Update:

Rules in reply. c'mon grab a spot.

And prizes,in no particular order!!!
woolie goodies from Katie (Green pepper, tomato and onion)
Appliqued bag from Hastings.
Yummie soap and a washie from Peppermint.
felt color assortment from Starkl

**************
I've been up in my crafting room for an hour and I've completed NOTHING. I'm spending so much time sorting out what isn't done, what needs to get done, starting something new and deciding what should just get tossed that I have dug myself right into a big ole rut.

Soooo crafter's anonymous is the club and you must have more projects in process than completed, to be a member. LOL, just kidding.

So, how about a 2 week challenge to get as many incomplete projects done as you can?

If there's interest, I'll add a prize or 2 from my woolie food stash.

i'm up to it, i have about 12 things on the back-burner that i would love to have completed before we move next month!

RebeckaK · 06-21-2004, 02:21 PM

Well, I have a million things that desperately need to get done...so I will bite- and I have only 1 week to finish cause I am going out of town next week.

Katie · 06-21-2004, 02:29 PM

Cool, it's nice to have someone else to commiserate, er uh, I mean cheer on together.

Lets start right away. Anyone that wants to join in, grab a spot and post your completions.

For more fun, lets add points. We can alter this of course but to get us rolling:

5 points for each incompleted *item* that you complete. Doll, toy, nature table piece, etc.
7 points for each incomplete *set* thay you complete. Set of beads, costume, etc
3 points for any item or set that you can complete, of which you have not yet started. BUT you have all the materials in your possession right now.
4 points for emptying any container. Basket, ziploc bag or otherwise that does not hold a specific project.

and the negative.........
take off 1 point for each craft supply you purchase or acquire in the game time.

Contest/challenge duration, 3 weeks. I'm adding extra time for those not quite ready and to get us over the 4th of July:
Today, June 21 until July 12th.

Prizes: to be determined. Depends on how much I get done. LOL.

Charge!!!!

No, not unless you want to.

This is for fun but I thought I'd throw in a prize or 2 to help us get moving. LOL. It's so hard to get in the craft room when the lawn needs mowing, the weeds need pulling, the kids need swimming........
