The 10-25-50 Challenge Explained

A couple of cross stitching message boards I frequent have decided to put forth the Challenge. The idea is you, the stitcher, decides how many projects you will finish before you buy new stash.
You also make up your own rules and exceptions.

For instance, I have said I will finish 10 projects. My exceptions are:
1) I will try to use fabrics, embellishments, threads, etc., that I have in my stash, but I am allowed to purchase them if needed to complete the project.

2) I reserve the right to change out any of the projects I have listed if at the time of commencement (or indeed even if I've started it) if said project does not interest me any more.

My starter for ten are:

1) Love With a Capital L by Papillon Creations - WIP
2) Celtic Noel by Lavendar and Lace - WIP since 2003
3) Patchwork by Jan Houtman - WIP
4)Whirling Stars by Dessins - NEW
5)Italian Garden Blackwork by Holbein Embroideries - NEW
6)Year's End by Papillon Creations - NEW
7)Ten Christmas ornaments by various (some are Mill Hill beaded, some are stitched)- NEW
8)Happy Birthday by Blackbird Designs - NEW
9)Be Ever Thankful by Abbey Lane Designs - NEW
10)Autumn Dragon by Enchanting Lair - NEW
11)Christmas Bellpull - NEW (have been going to do this since 2001; I can count, just thought I'd throw this one in.)

However, I have uncovered some other charts I'd forgotten about that I would like to do. I may decide to add more items to my list rather than exchange them.
Also, I am thinking I will need to get some new scroll rods, and that does not count as stash - they are a necessity!
And one other proviso - if there is something I've been eyeing and it's going to be OOP...I'm allowed to purchase it.

So, you see the Challenge is rather loose, it's what you make it; what you decide.
You don't have to finish all the stitching in a year, but however long it takes you to finish is how long before you can add stash!
