I don't want to mess up the badge count so I'm starting a new thread for this discussion.
I'm so excited to announce that I'm half way to my goal! I want to be a sharpshooter one day (earn 200 badges). I enjoy working on the badges and don't want to take away from the fun by putting a time frame on it, so I don't know when I'll get there. Today I updated my planner and caught up on downloading my certificates and badge templates then counted up my progress. I've earned 100 badges so far! My first one was Homespun Christmas in December of 2012. I'm hoping the next 100 don't take me another 13 years but who knows what life will throw at me LOL!
How many badges have you all earned? What are your badge goals?

Great job, Heather!! I believe I have earned 27 badges so far. I joined MJF in 2022, I think. I don’t know how to find info on when I joined….my notebook is packed from my craft room make over.

Karen You joined January 3 2022. If you go to the main forum you will see members in the top right corner. You can click that and hit the letter for your username and then find it in the left column, follow that across to where it says member since. You will see the day you signed up.
I joined 19 years ago but they weren't doing badges back then. I have to get busy and sit down and apply for more that I've finished. I don't have a specific goal and have not been too active in doing them. It seems to come in waves of when I xan get them done.

Happy half way point! 100 is so inspiring!
I started a little over a year ago (1/13/2025) and have 42 (nod to Douglas Adams/Hitchhiker's Guide). Fallon's at 18 with a similar timeline.
We will probably slow down a bit too as we knock out some of the shorter, sweeter ones. I see at the bottom that some badges were revised in years after you started. Did that mean you had to pull down new descriptions? Do you think there will be more edits we should be on the lookout for?
