10/25/50+ challenge

As seen at the following website:

The rules (as posted at www.hasturtorres.blogspot.com) are:
1. Have fun reducing your stash.
2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.
3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10, 25, or 50+ projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter.
4. This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns.
5. You can make some exemptions – I am not placing limitations on this due to commitments that people might already have. Remember, though, the goal of this challenge is to reduce stash so too many exemptions will sabotage these efforts.
6. Gifts, gift cards, trades, RAKs and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge. This also applies to purchasing patterns for gifts to give other people.
7. Freebies count as part of your total and you can acquire them at any point.
8. The offical start date of this challenge was Sept 1, 2006 but I’m starting today, July 3, 2007.
By the way, I KNOW this is a ridiculously long list of charts, but it’s fun to challenge myself. Even when I know full well and good I will continue to buy new things! Ack, I’m addicted!
