Introducing my "No Buy Challenge"

Hello everyone,

I have so much stuff stored in shelves and boxes - yarn, paper, pearls, leather bands and whatnot. It is definitely time to finally get rid of at least a small part of this. Therefore I intend to challenge myself throughout this year with a "No Buy Challenge".


The rules are simple: Don't buy anything for what you're crafting! I'm basically going to use things I already have around for 12 crafty projects this year. This will definitely challenge my creativity as well as my improvisation skills, I can tell you ;)

Well, stay tuned for more, I'm going to post the first project real soon!

Yours
Uta

    Good luck Uta. I always think that I should do something like this, but I don't have enough willpower. :)

      Thank you for your nice comment, Daisy!
      Well, I thought it was about time to reduce my stash and all the other crafting supplies I always end up buying without actually using them ;)
