Well done
I've only just started and trying to get to bronze - 200 seems a long long way off!!

Hi Joyce and everyone else, like some of the girls have said here ignore the numbers and enjoy what you do. I love what I do and when I get some spare pennies I buy more sheets as its so very addictive.
If I added up what I ve spent I think I would get a shock but its all worth it. To be honest its the best hobby I've had. I am also into knitting at the moment. So keeping the two going keeps me very busy on top of looking after my two boys as well. lol

Funnily enough I kept on setting myself targets last year, after starting the end of February 2010, saying that I'd do 15 to 20 a month as and when I was well enough. But somehow or another I kept on seeing more and more sheets I liked, and had more and more ideas of how to make them up, cardmaking turned up to be one thing I could do even in bed when I was having average days, and somehow or another the figure kept on creaping up and up and I passed Silver and onto Gold way before I expected. If somebody had told me this time last year that I'd have passed the 500 mark before the end of the year I'd have told them that they were barking mad. After reaching Gold I then decided to only make up half a dozen or so cards a month, but somehow or another I've made over 150 more since then. Although I try to only buy CUP items with gold stars still attached, so that I've got a chance of getting a few pennies back to fund my next lot of crafting, I'm not aiming for a higher level now. Far too big a jump for me. As Lorraine just said "it can be scary when you look at the distance to the next level". I'm just enjoying making cards and interacting with my crafty friends here on Craftforums and on Facebook, as well as putting together my blog posts.
Have fun with your cardmaking everybody.

Wow Gwyneth , exellent work. You must be really proud to have made all that in just over a year. I dont look at how many I have got to go to the next level I just look at how many I have made so far and feel really pleased with myself. One day I will reach gold hopefully....... CUP will probably be onto V7 by then lol.
Keep up the good work and main thing is to keep on enjoying what we do.
