I'm not even close, though I do have a few items to upload eventually. But I don't mind taking my time as long as I am having fun creating what I do upload

Hmm, I opened my gallery on the 17th Feb and there are now 158 cards in it. Normally I make one card most day - that's been my pattern for the last few years, and most of those now get uploaded here. All my cards pre-gallery are sorted by years in folders on my PC, but it's still quite a job checking back through them if I'm trying to remember a particular idea. Sometimes I start in the wrong year, LOL.
The DTGD challenge upped my rate - that was 24 in a week.
Longer. I know I deleted some cards from my gallery a couple of times but I have 84 cards and it will be 3 years this October. I used to stamp all the time in VA but since we moved (a few months before I started the gallery), I'm lucky if I stamp once a month.
I have just over 300 in 2 years. I don't upload everything I do and go in spurts. The past month was a prolific month, with DTGD and other challenges and I happened to be off for a week and just played several days so I did upload 32 in the last month. Work gets in the way of my fun sometimes ;). I'm not a demo or on any DT so I have no deadlines or assignments, just stamp when I can.
The first card in my gallery is ONE YEAR later than the last one on the page (96 cards/page)..
Does it take YOU this long to fill your gallery? How many months/weeks/years does it take you to fill a page (96) in your gallery?
I'm just wondering. am i slow/normal/above average? (this is pure curiosity.. not a competition..) I've seen someone with 96 cards in ONE MONTH!!
what are your stats?
I am right there with you! I have been stamping for about 2 1/2 years and I have about two pages of gallery. The bottom of the page is nearly a year ago. I love to stamp but unfortunately, life gets in the way. I must say that I spend more time shopping for supplies and stamp than actually stamping. I am averaging 1-3 cards a week depending on what's going on in my life. But I love stamping- so as long as I enjoy it I will still do whatever I can whenever I can.
April 10th 2006 for 96 cards. BUT........I make alot more cards than that. I really love taking cards from the gallery and changing them to make them my own. I don't upload those cards unless it was for the Featured Stamper Challenge. With the exception of this one.

i uploaded my first card in march of '07 and still don't have a FULL page...
the number of cards in my gallery is no gauge to how many cards i make...
there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason (tho the majority of them are for challenges) to why i might upload a card but i make WAY WAY more cards then are ever uploaded to my gallery.
i am truly OBSESSED with making cards. someone will say 'oh, who is that for?' my reply... i don't know but ain't it purdy?
i just can't stop! (no 12 step program for me tho, thanks)
Haha! I'm like SOME of you in that i go in spurts... I used to be a challenge chaser (before i was teaching full-time) and would upload every day. now i go in spurts, and yes, i don't upload every card i make...
i love looking at all your galleries, though!!!

Yeah doing the challenges definately fills up your gallery fast! I usually stamp 5-6 days a week but on the weekends I'll get a chunk of time and do 2 or 4 cards. Not all of it gets loaded, or photographed and some of it is torn apart or recycled.
It took me from March 12 to now to fill a page. I don't upload everything here that I do so there is more on my blog than that. I can't believe that I filled a page that quickly!
Ha ha, I started my gallery just shy of 2 years ago, and I only have 45 cards total posted! Granted, I don't upload everything I make, plus we've moved three times in those 2 years (including one international move), so there have been long periods of time where I didn't have my supplies available or didn't have a stamping space set up. I'm definitely a "stamp in spurts" kind of girl! In fact, I just realized last week that I need to hurry up and start my Christmas cards, 'cause I'm going to have to pack all my supplies up again in a couple of months (getting ready to move back overseas). Yikes! Hopefully someday I'll be able to stamp on a more regular basis, and fill up my poor little gallery. ;)

I wanted to show how you could take an old set and make it new again.
I'm the same way, I don't post them all...but I go in "spurts" where I'll make 2 every night for a few days and then none for 2 weeks. It takes me an hour to make a "quick" card LOL
