52 Weeks

Resolution - challenge myself to complete at least one project every week in 2011.

Starting projects is easy for me. Finishing them is not always as easy.


For 2011, I propose to complete a new project each week. They don't have to be started that week. In fact, finishing up some UFO's is part of my motivation for this challenge. They don't have to be big projects, or sewing projects. Something as simple as completing a new recipe, or a child's craft project will do. I also hope to finish some bigger projects that will take longer than a week to do.

I would love to have company.  Would you like to accept the challenge too?

If so, you can post your projects here on a new blogger tool I've found called Linky which will let you post a thumbnail link to a photo from Flickr, your blog, facebook, or website. See below where it says, "Click Here to Enter".

My plan is to post my first project next Wednesday, January 5th. In the meantime, feel free to leave a thumbnail link to something you are working on, or have recently completed. I would love to see it.

Let's Get Busy!

  20. Cool idea! Though I'd probably so a bit crazy and get really upset if I couldn't finish...maybe I could try a project every two weeks hmmm...
