You know what? This 50 Project Challenge thing isn’t working out so well for me. Just when I was finally starting to get some traction, I fell off the wagon again. Granted, I haven’t bought anything since before Christmas, I think, but still… I broke down and ordered a total of 3 different things.
First up was Heart’s Delight, the current limited edition kit from The Victoria Sampler. In her newsletter this month, Thea said that she was getting low on stock for these, so that was my signal to either buy it or let it go (potentially forever). I bought it. It arrived yesterday.
Then I got the latest newsletter from Just Nan, along with lovely full color photos in the mail from Drema. Are you seeing a pattern here? I think I should unsubscribe from these newsletters! Of course, I didn’t sign up for the snail mail information from Drema. She knows a sucker when she emails one, apparently! Anyway, I placed an order with her for the limited edition Cherub Garden Whimzi from Just Nan, along with a preorder for her majesty, Lady Scarlet’s Secret Garden that will be released mid-March. Come on, how could I possibly resist?
At least I’m not in the negative numbers on my challenge… yet. I ordered some extras of The Cat’s Whiskers Design Studio charts for myself from the Nashville releases that I really liked. We’ll see how my willpower holds up or if I’ll end up adding another 2 exemptions to the list.
I think limited editions are exceptional to the Challenge anyway, in view of the fact that they’re only available for a short time, so I don’t think you’ve fallen too far 😉
I’m doing a 50-project challenge myself and I’m getting restless with it. I did just sign up for the Lakeside Linens FOTM club at Shakespeare’s Peddler, but I feel that as long as I don’t buy any charts, I’m still good 😆
