My September goals:
-keep up with Sketchtember (at a minimum - the 4 challenges I've agreed to host, lol)
-I've signed up for several crafty online things this month so hoping to do some of that stuff
-I only got 1979 photos labelled and organised last month so I'm putting 1978 on this month's list

I'm really hoping sketchtember will get me motivated, my brain is already thinking of ways to use the day 1 sketch. As a result I'm keeping my Sept goals really low stress and hopefully achievable.
* make something, anything!
* print out my August photos and put into page protectors in the right place in my album

I have photos arriving today, so hopefully that motivates me to scrap. Unfortunately, school started this week and my kids' schedules are keeping me in the car and not at my desk way too much. Maybe I need to put my desk in my van and scrap in the carpool line...
I really liked last spring when I was doing one of the 30-day challenges (don't remember the name) where I would start and finish a page before starting a new one. My usual style is to do all the cropping, then do all the gluing, then do all the titles on 30 layouts at once, and then leaving them in a pile because I don't want to write the journaling... maybe my goal should be to find another challenge list to work off of...
So, that is the long way of saying, my September goal is to do something, anything, even if it's just one layout.

I have some new/new to me supplies that I want to use. I work obsessively on one project for a few weeks and need to choose well when I set aside my current Noel die obsession. I guess I should make a list of them so I can hold myself accountable…
(off the top of my head)
C&9th poinsettia quilt die
Record/music themed products
old MMH coffee kit
Halloween scene builder stamps tried once
Ghost background stamp (not new but underused)
Simple Stories Christmas paper
Doodlebug fall collection
Maybe with the stamps and dies I should do a “10 cards 1 product” type of challenge like some card YTers do. The papers/collections have a natural end point for me - I use them up.
Random papers in my drawer

I have family visiting soon, so I will keep my list on the shorter side for this month:
1. August was a fail with sharing layouts on my Instagram. I will try again this month.
2. Focus on layouts using swap pieces. They are fun to use, and I will have more pieces arriving at my house soon.
One done so far!
3. Create at least 5 layouts. 2/5 complete.

1. Finish my December daily 2022 - most photos are ordered and on the way so there’s a chance (repainting my whole house and reflooring as well in December was an interesting choice to make, it severely hampered my usual projects!)
2. Complete my project life for 2022 - only a couple of months to go, photos printed just need to get it done. Don’t ask about 2023, that’s why I’m focusing on a project I might actually complete in a month 🤣

Omg it’s September I have not done anything in my memory planner since the last day of July.
I lie I’ve done a few set ups and kept notes but nothing is *in* the planner and here it is Sept.
This is where I fell down last year, what is it about August? Is it the heat? I start a new planner book in August that could be part of the issue except I do not have this problem in January when I start the 1st half! Unlike last year I plan to pick myself up and be accountable in Sept and get August done so I don’t just skip the 2nd half if the year lije I did last year.
Maybe I need to go back to my sprocket because I think waiting for pictures jams me up. But I need to get my butt going.
Any one else have August troubles?
Someone check on me next week to make sure I’m doing stuff lol

For September I want to do a little catch up. I finally feel like I have enough free to to go back and work on some unfinished projects
Memory planner - need to make a divider for September.
Catch up on May - I skipped around a lot
October daily 2022 - figure out what stories I want to include for days 21-30. Just make a plan for stories
December daily 2022- again plan missing stories. I have less missing on this one.
Clean out October daily supplies and take inventory - ✅ I have room to buy a little more
Work through Heidi swapp stamping class

I had it all typed up and started editing a somehow lost journaling for 12 layouts.  I'm determined to get through it today. |

My goal this month will be to do more than I did in August. Which shouldn't be hard to do since I accomplished so little for Aug. Yesterday I did pull together supplies for an double-page l/o so that's a start. Thanks for keeping us corralled linda. |

My goal is to figure out what I’m doing with my layouts and albums.
I have some layouts in 3 ring albums. Some are in post bound. I also have layouts in stacks because I was moving from one system or the other somewhere along the way.
I want convenience to add and move pages but I also like the way post bound albums look.

Just did three loads of washing that I’ll have to hang out inside due to the smoke haze so tomorrow can be “catch up on the bit you hate the most but which makes the whole album make sense” aka mass journaling day. If only I could get over hating my hand writing I’d have these albums done so much faster! My other problem is for the most part I need white text on a black background and i just can’t get a white pen that works well enough to do it by hand! If only I could switch to the predominantly white background my life would be sooo much easier but at my core I have a black heart 😁🖤

Get current with this years album.
Make layouts of Frankie Vali concert and KC and the Sunshine band concerts.
Make scrapbooks using old planner pages.. I’ve done 2 and they are so fun!

Journaling complete!
One page to make for 2022 dd and then I’m done (just have to wait for journaling to arrive and enter it in but that takes ten mins).
Now onto my other projects - should I:
Finish 2022 project life
Catch up 2023 project life
Do more on my Tokyo Disney album?
Help a pea decide 😁

I missed an early Sept crop because I was sick and am missing 2 others because I am out of town. So I have no goals this month
