I am so happy it is September. I love autumn. I am so sick of the heat! I'm sick of the heat and HUMIDITY. Fall is my fave season! Football, kids are back to school, coolness! I would like to start using my oven again! |

I would like to start using my oven again! Same! I'm with you both. This is the first week in months where I don't see 90 degrees in the forecast. I like warm, but it has been too warm/humid. So looking forward to some cooler evenings and mornings. |

I'm not quite ready for fall. I still have one beach themed photo op I want to do with my DGD. I have been sick the past 2+ weeks and between being in pain and just being lethargic I feel like I have missed the end of summer. I do make my annual trek to the Jersey Shore with my mom in 2 weeks. I always enjoy that time. I have not scrapped the last 2 years we have gone and I doubt I will get this year done either. I don't take as many photos but because it is time with my mom I do try to grab pics of her or her and me.
As for scrapping, I continue to fall further and further behind. There are never enough scraportunities.

Here is a recurring theme - I need to order photos. I hate to order photos!

My mom's friend is coming today to take the rest of my mom's crafting supplies that have been stored at my house since mom went into the nursing home. My mom had so much stuff and it's such a weight lifted to have that stuff gone to a new home.

I sat down tonight and got caught up with my memory planner. I’m not liking the page for last Monday & Tuesday but maybe it will grow on me. The last time I didn’t really like a page when I finished it I liked it a few days later when I looked at it. Maybe I just don’t like my stuff late st night. Lol

I'm debating whether to do another 100-day project. I participated in the last one we had here - 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/116513/project-starts-31st-100daypeas-update - and really enjoyed documenting life in the throes of the pandemic for 100 days. I figure if I start September 26th, it will take me through the holidays and a few days into the New Year. I made sure I took a photo or wrote something everyday, and it turned into a nice "book" to read! My youngest DD asked to read it when she was home for a few days in April. That said, I'm trying to do the Sketchtember sketches, I am in the Crop & Create Oct cardmaking crop and also the November holiday crop. I don't want to overdo it and not be able to complete anything! Decisions, decisions! |

Last night i organized my in progress layouts. Oh my goodness, so many left to finish. I finished four, and put them away.
A couple days ago I ordered August photos, so they should come by the 17th.

Ugh! I received my photo order from Shutterfly and some of the crops are messed up. I know this happens and try to look at the thumbnails before I submit the order. I don't know if I forgot to save my crops or it's them. Now I have to reorder. I know it's a first world problem, but it's so annoying.

Ugh not cool about the messed up photo order! I hate when that happens. Which reminds me, I need to order photos again.
I'm working my way through a few layouts right now, the one of my son's 13th birthday is on my desk right now and I'm not inspired. I'm much more creative with non-event photos 🙄

Yesterday I worked on a few zoo layouts. Just putting photos down on paper, really. Then into the album in their right place chronologically.
I need DAYS at a time to make any real progress on my photos/albums. Days of not juggling work, kids' school needs, cooking, cleaning, and everything else.
Snippets of time here and there are not doing it for me because I always have the to do list running on repeat through my head, ticking off the minutes until I need to switch the laundry, check the oven, go to work, etc.

Fall is my favorite season, too, but it looks like this week will be mostly in the 90 degree range. So looking forward to the day when I can pull out the boots and sweaters! I take lots of fall foliage photos when I walk my dog around the neighborhood, looking forward to that again., and Fall baking, and Halloween decorating. I had a bad experience with ordering a big batch of photos from Snapfish, so mostly print my photos at home now unless it’s a big vacation (which didn’t happen last year, and looks like there will be no travel in 2021 either  ). I am keeping my eyes peeled for a sale or two on Epson photo paper and ink for my PictureMate… |

I finished my last "annual family/friend trip vacation" album for 2021
I can actually say I'm caught up on one project!. The only one I'm caught up on. HA.
Used Citrus Twist albums for all years (2015-2021) 3 years in the first two and started a new album for 2021. Still getting used to the smaller format but it's a manageable size for sure. I got better at mapping out my layouts per day and the photo sizes I needed for each one to speed it up.

I love Autumn. The colours are beautiful, although up here they don't stay that way long. It is a lot of work harvesting the garden, but it feels good to harvest and process and store foods for the rest of the year. And on that note, I love the comfort foods of fall: home made soups and stews and loaves... This week I spent alot of crafty money. Registered for an October in person crop. Just ordered a bunch of stuff from the SU! Sale-A-Bration catalog. (My excuse for that order was that a friend is hosting an on line party, but I think I would have found a way anyway  ...) Been scrapbooking in fits and starts. The SKETCHtember challenges are inspiring, and I have SOOO many photos from summer yet to scrap. Plus I am getting back to school photos of my dgk's from their parents. I start building little page kits with a sketch and photos and maybe some paper... and then I just want to glue the page together LOL. As I said, lots of other things to do this time of year, so lots of interruptions. But if I ever get the kits together they will serve me well at the crop and at dd's next week when dgs is in school and I have the house to myself for a few hours each day. |

I, too, am extremely excited for autumn!! Pumpkin spice everything is already out, but I'm eagerly awaiting the leaves to change color and start falling, and for the air to be crisp (and not muggy!)
The Dollar Tree has had a huge selection of both Halloween & autumn stickers this year, and I bought a bunch.
I can't wait to scrap in warm browns, oranges, reds, deep greens, and golds.

You're all excited for autumn, and here I am excited that warmer weather is on the way. I don't mind autumn, but I'm definitely a warmer weather girl.
I can't believe we're half way through Sept already. I've been doing really well on the sketches this month, I think I'm only 4 behind, which I consider some kind of a miracle. And I was reminded today that we have a public holiday next Friday, and nothing beats the feeling of a surprise day off on the horizon.

Yesterday my August photo prints arrived, and I had just enough energy to sort them. It included two zoo trips, & my hs senior's first day of school selfie.

I’m hoping to have some time this weekend to catch up on Sketchtember. I got off to a great start but had to stop due to work. Plus, Miss Pepper was spayed Tuesday and have been taking care of her. Kinda hard to tell a puppy not to jump or run but I’m trying!

I think I'm going to have to check out those sketch challenges. Apparently buying more supplies isn't helping in the inspiration department 🤣 now I just have pretty supplies to look at and zero creativity to use them!

You're all excited for autumn, and here I am excited that warmer weather is on the way. I don't mind autumn, but I'm definitely a warmer weather girl. Me too! I am excited because it's spring, and that means we are closer to summer. I like the first month or so of autumn, because it's still beach weather, but after that I start feeling blah. And when daylight savings ends in April, even more blah. I have a week off work next week, and seeing that we are still in lockdown, I can't go anywhere, which means I should have loads of time to scrap scrap scrap! |

Yesterday I took a few minutes to further separate my August zoo trip photos into page protectors.
I'm hoping to work on my senior's 1st day of school pic soon. (And there's the added pressure of "this is the last one for their hs album & needs to be great, etc"

Thanks for bringing the sketch challenge to my attention grammadee I followed a few and got more layouts done this weekend than I have in months! It took a bit of the guess work out it all for me, plus I was able to use up a bunch of pattern paper with some of the layers from the sketch. I've been in a rut with a card stock background and 1 piece of patterned paperand the sketches helped! |

I usually share in the monthly Sharing Thread on this board, but with SKETCHtember I have been sharing my takes in the individual challenge threads. I am grandparenting this week, but managed to squeeze in some LO’s. Will share when I get home end Of week. |
