A journal of my crazy desire to complete one craft or creative project every day for one year.

T+10: DONE


Phew! For a while there I didn't know if I'd make it, but here we are at the end of this journey!

Truth be told, I was running out of ideas for fast projects until I got an adorable note card in the mail yesterday - such a simple and easy design, and totally moldable to whatever sentiment you are trying to say. The beauty of these note cards is that they are almost like a tag - you just write on the back.

I also finished off a couple of projects for my cousin's baby shower this weekend... there is actually one more I need to finish which will be my focus every waking minute between now and Saturday! Keep your fingers crossed that I get it done on time!!!

Well, here's the final five!

361 - Little Ted in Blue (*See Above)
362 - Nursery Napkins (set of 15 - 5 each in 3 designs)
363 - Thanks note card
364 - Because I Care note card

And finally...

365 - Good Luck note card
For the next project, of course!

Expect to see more posts on this blog as I will keep talking about my favourite projects that I complete - but probably not as often. As of September 1st, my new crazy project begins - 200 books read and reviewed in one year!!! You can follow that journey at covers2covers.blogspot.com

Thanks for watching - keep crafting!

T+9: Projects 356-360


We're so close now I can taste it!

I played around with my Halloween stuff again today - I swear it's because it's getting dark earlier now... it's just 9 pm and it's already dark outside - icky!

The only good things about the darker times of the year are holidays - Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, My Birthday, New Years, Valentine's Day, St. Patty's Day, Easter, May 2-4 ... then it finally starts to get light out again... this is Canada after all!

I absolutely adore Halloween - probably because I get to get dressed up, act like a goof and eat chocolate, and no one thinks anything of it!

Here's the five Halloween cards I completed today:

356 - Halloween Smiles Card
357 - Embossed Halloween Card
358 - Fang-tastic Halloween Card
359 - Spooky Halloween Card
360 - Boo! Card

Nearly there.... Five more to go!!!!

T+4: Projects 317-341


Digital Designing. So much less nit-picky than physical crafting! If you don't like it, delete it - no wasted supplies!

I've wanted to make a 2012 calendar for a while. Actually, I wanted to make a 2011 calendar last fall, but never got around to it! Anyway, two digital pages per month plus one cover page equals 25 projects - almost one month's worth of crafting in two days. That has to be a record!

Here's the run down (although the titles are pretty boring... and I did them in order...)

317 - January 2012 Calendar Insert
318 - January 2012 Calendar Page
319 - February 2012 Calendar Insert
320 - February 2012 Calendar Page
321 - March 2012 Calendar Insert

T+2: Projects 313-316


I snuck in a few projects this evening to try and get this challenge finished! I'm hoping to do a few more tomorrow morning before work, but Friday will be my big crafting day, and hopefully the last day of this project. Fingers crossed!

I need a little time off before my new project starts, but you can get an idea of what's going to happen on my new blog: covers2covers@blogspot.com Hint: It's another addiction of mine that I've let slide this past year...

Here's what I finished this evening:

313 - October Perpetual Calendar
314 - June Perpetual Calendar (don't you love how I refuse to make these pages in order!)
315 - Jack-o-Lantern Happy Halloween Card (*my favourite holiday! See photo above)
316 - January Perpetual Calendar

Keep Crafting!

Projects 305-311: Time's UP!


So the end of this project has arrived - 312 projects completed in 365 days. What can I say - it's been a crazy year!
I still want to see how long it will take me to finish 365 projects - I'm hoping only an extra week, but we'll see.

I will be starting a new blog for a new project at the beginning of September, but don't fear! All of my crazy craftiness will still manage to appear on this blog... just maybe not quite so much of it!

Here's the rest of the projects I managed to complete before my deadline:

305 - My own Letterhead!! Hey Digital Designing is fun!
306 - Celtic Knot magnet (Clay)
307 - Flower magnet (Clay)
308 - Snow Much Fun Card (*See Above)
309 - Mini Happy Holidays Tree Card
310 - Bunny Merry Christmas Card
311 - Snowflake & Stripes Card
312 - S{ick}? Card

53 projects to go... let's see how long it takes!

Keep Crafting,
Lindsay
