Only home until the 18th, when I leave to visit each of my three ds's and their families. The dgk's love to see themselves on scrapbook pages, so I still have some summer and fall pages to finish before I go, so I can take them with me.
i am signed up for the SCT event this coming weekend, so hopefully that will help with some of the fall photos. (lots of fall pretties in the crop box)
I need to finish my Christmas cards so they can be in the mail by early December. May have to pack some card making supplies and work on them when I get time there. The family calendar just needs a November page and a cover page. I need to copy it for gift giving, so I hope to get the completed 11 pages copied at the printer before I leave. |

I need to do a little PL catch-up. I have photos and journal cards all in place, but haven’t journaled at all for a few weeks. i need to wrap that up, do a bit of embellishing, and finish it off.
I also really need to rethink how I’m organizing a few things. Some of my methods are definitely no longer working, but I keep doing it the same old way.

I need to make all my Christmas cards for the various card swaps I have signed up for. I have a pile of Thanksgiving cards that I have started making for friends and family that I need to finish up and mail. I have a small scrapbook that I had wanted to give to my boyfriend for Christmas last year that is very unfinished. I would love to finish it and give it to him on our anniversary (Nov. 27). I have decided to do a Thankful 30 album. I like the one Heba did last year, so I will be using that as my guide. ( Heba's 202 Thankful 30) I need to organize and do a little bit of planning for my DD. This is my first year doing a DD! |

November needs to be a busy crafting month for me. I would ideally like to get done:
*Sept and Oct Project Life. September PL includes our trip to Hawaii so if I only get September done then that’s a win.
*make Pea Christmas cards (there’s a bunch to make!) - 35 45 cards made so far with a bunch to go
*get organized for December Daily
*start prepping pages for December Daily
*make two birthday cards
*
I got done:
2 birthday cards
104 Christmas Cards
Sept Project life - 10 pages!
8 December Daily pages

I am coming off of October LOAD, so there will probably be less scrapping in November, but other projects to get to...
- Christmas card swap - this is my 1st one, so I need to get going on that!
- keeping up with weekly/monthly spreads in my storyline chapters - the book I have has 3 monthly layouts first followed by 12 weekly layouts...I decided to use the 3 months to document the last 3 months in different ways: October will be my LOAD layouts, November - daily gratitude, and December will be devoted to watching xmas shows/movies.
- In lieu of DD, I am preparing to work on a hybrid travel album that has been years in the works
- Organization - I need some serious reworking in the studio since I am finding my style/methods have changed a bit
- Holiday event with SCT - it's just 1 day and looking forward to that

I've been working on and will continue to work on Christmas cards.
I want to do a daily thankful album/journal in November. I have an idea on how I want to do it, and what product I want to use. Now I just have to do it! I had planned on prepping a bunch of it, but I never got it done, and now it's November!
I've been making some handmade items to give as gifts, so I will continue doing that this month also.
I'd sure like to scrapbook some pages too! Not sure when I would fit that in though! LOL!

* Finish August and September PL spreads. Photos printed, rough layout done.
* Start and finish one of four travel minis I have to make from summer. 3/4 done with first one
* Assess the status of my daughter's school of life album. She graduates in May. Get started on updating that album.
*Set up December Daily supplies by the end of the month and maybe get started on a few filler pages.

November!
✔️Finish our Portland Mini-Moon Trip Album (We didn't take a honeymoon) - We got married in 2017 so better late than never, I guess.
- Desperately need to catch up on PL. But the last photos in the album are from the day my dad died in March, in hospice. I just haven't had much motivation to emotionally process those photos.
- I can't decide if I should cancel my Paper Person sub this month or in December. Regardless, I am going Frozen in 2022 but part of me wants to hold out for Kelly's Black Friday sale.

My November goals and plans are: 2 day crop and a 4 day crop retreat. For the 2 day crop I am going to try to make a large dent in my fall and Halloween photos. I must have 100 Halloween related photos of DGD from all the events she went to.
For the 4 day retreat I am thinking about taking a food related category of photos. I have all the restaurant, food prep and cooking photos in one bin with all my food related paper and a separate bin of stickers/embellies. There are so many projects I could choose for 4 days but I think the food will give me enough variety to keep from getting bored with it.
I have at least 4 unfinished projects from previous retreats and I have no enthusiasm to pick them up again. Someday I want to, but not now!

I haven’t SBed since May but I have been attending a weekly card making class. That started in October. I’m currently moving my “temporary” family room scrap area (moved upstairs at the start of Covid - can’t stand the mess anymore lol) back to my basement craft room. That is goal one, goal 2 is to actually get scrapping, hoping for a couple layouts to go along with my cards.

I am attending two online events this month, so it's going to be tough to get much else done. I need to see how many Christmas cards I made earlier in the year, and decide if I'm making more. I also have some fall cards that I would like to send out before it's officially winter.

November is so busy for me, it is hard to carve out craft time. I decided I am not doing Christmas cards this year. My mom has had many health issues this fall and been hospitalized twice, and I just can't seem to muster up the energy to do holiday cards. So I am "giving" myself the treat of skipping them.  I do have a friend coming over to scrapbook, so am happy about that. We'll see how much I get done with the chatting. I'd like to finish up a trip we took in 2017, so I can be done with that album. I am getting some new pens, so yay for that! |

What do you include? How is it organized? Do you have a formula? My son graduates in May, and I’d like to put something together, but would love some ideas. |

I'm already 10 days into the month with no goals and few accomplishments. Here's what I'd like to do the rest of this month:
Journaling for a stack of layouts
Schedule a quiet, uninterrupted scrap day
Cut 10 Disney titles
Cut two full pages of embellishments for Disney layouts
Take more pictures of fall stuff

Honeymoon Photobook - Poke my husband so he finishes proofreading It is a good thing he checked because I had the same day summary on 2 different days. - Order book Ordered 11/10/2021 2021 Yearbook - February- October - March- April - May ? After I did February I decided to do March to finish with the snow photos. Next up is October. Then to start spring with April. |

After I did February I decided to do March to finish with the snow photos. Next up is October. Then to start spring with April. I got stuck on October. I don't know if it was because the pictures were recent and I couldn't cull them or if I had too many activities. I thought I was making too many pages and couldn't figure out how to fix it. I made 8 pages for the October and I'm not done. I need to think about my goals for December. |

I didn't even remember that I'd made goals for November, so that tells you what sort of month I've had.
* make Christmas cards for the pea swap started, but barely
* stay reasonably current with my PL. I'm fine if I don't catch up, but I don't want to fall any further behind this one was a big fat fail, I think I did two pages in my pl album all month
* finish the last sketchtember sketch! yes, done!
