50 Projects or Bust! 2025

I’m joining the WIPGO! Here’s my card :heart:

I’ve added “Make 5 ATCs” on 10 different squares, so I’ll make 50 by year’s end, but I also added other projects that I’ve been meaning to do or that I want to finish this year.


Jan WIPGO Progress: COMPLETE

G-2 (make 5 envelopes from photos/pages): DONE

*I actually made more than 5, plus some postcards and a little pocket folder (not shown).

W-5 (Make 5 ATCs) DONE

(I actually made more than 5, plus oversized postcards and a little pocket folder)

All partners have received their ATCs, so I’ve also posted them here.,


February WIPGO Progress:

O-1 (Make Apron from Special shirts) and G-5 (Finish AND publish “To Libraries with Love” paperback)

Ooof… I’m not sure I can finish this by month’s end, but I will try!


Feburary projects (other than WIPGO)

9 ATCs to create a pocket letter for Everyday Holidays Craftalong winter 2025 prize


This year, I will make 50 ATCs. To hit my goal, I must make 5 ATCs per month. A great way for me to hit this goal would be to claim at least 5 ATCs in each monthly swap, but I also want to make some to have on hand to exchange with local people if I ever manage to get a local swap going… :crossed_fingers:t4:

I also want to take a minimum of 1 special photo per month. I really enjoyed doing the “retrospective in photographs” in 2023, but I didn’t take enough photos in 2024 to do this. So here’s a way for me to ensure I do it this year:

  1. January :heavy_check_mark: but not quite happy with it. I’m going to try to get to the lake by month’s end to take one. I’ve been thinking I might do a photo of the lake in the same spot each month, actually. Waiting for a heavier snow fall for a good Jan photo. I don’t think the lake will freeze this year.Update: Lake Ontario had some amazing accumulation of ice mid-month. Can’t share the photo here because I might enter it in the fair, but I took it! :heavy_check_mark:
