going to do a no-buy challenge at the start of the year? I always start January 1st. 100 pages before I can buy something. I may up that goal this year!

 No. I can't even get 100 LO's done in a year! I think this year is the closest I've gotten so far (my record) and I'm only at 80 or 90-something.

The only way I could make that happen would be to lock myself in the house. . . there's no way I could pass up buying scrapbooking stuff. . . I have absolutely no will power!

I did it one year. I set 25 pages and 50 cards as my target. It took me till about October though, and I missed out on a lot of fun so I'm not doing it again for a while.

If I had to do 100 pages first it would be like ten years from now before I could buy anything!

Same here! I think when we did the no buy challenge last time it was 50 layouts.

I managed a 50 LO challenge a few years ago, but that was when I was laid up with a broken ankle. I could never do it again! LOL!

Gosh, I wish I had time for 100 layouts in a year! I mostly manage about 4 or 5 a year LOL!
I just got my first Cricut so I don't think I'll need to buy anything for a while- I feel I've added another dimension to my creativity so I'll be able to use what I have in different ways. That ought to slow any buying sprees. I say that now...hahaha!

I don't think I could feel like I could justify spending anything on scrap stuff if I didn't do at least 50 lo's per year! I like doing the no buy because it helps me use up stuff I forgot I had!
