2Peas May 16 Tell Your Story GOALS and thoughts & *progress*

Thank you - I love the idea of a daily thread!

I'm trying to decide between working on a travel album (either our January trip to Chicago or my mum's Germany trip - I already have photos printed for both) or working on the family album...maybe I'll do a little of both

grammadee - Thanks for getting us all started.

Since I have dedicated myself to organizing for the month of April, I will be ready to scrap away come May. I would have loved to do LOAD, but I will be away for 10 days in April (for my loooooong camping trip) so I would not have been able to keep up with actually doing the project they day of the prompt. This event you are organizing here seems to be a little more flexible as far as the actually daily output.

My Goals:

Finish up those last 15 or so Courthouse pages (that I didn't finish at Calvinball)
Pick up where I left off on the Home Sweet Home project (that I put aside to concentrate on the Courthouse layouts during Calvinball)
Other than those two main goals, it will be to scrap, scrap and scrap whatever else I need to get scraped.

Looking forward to playing along with you ladies.

grammadee - thanks for taking the bull by the horns here. I'll be posting some challenges later this weekend. and some goals after I do some photo sorting and get a print order ready.

I'd really like to stay on top of my PL (so far I seem to be working on it monthly and just catching up on all the weeks to that point) and I want to work on my vacation albums.

My goal is to get 15 layouts done for the month.

I'm going on vacation, so I'll return with a load of photos from the river cruise to sort through and determine which to print for a scrapbook.

Because I'm also working on converting all of my mom's slides to prints in a scrapbook for Christmas, I really need to find one of those 300 prints for $30 shipped deals. By May 15, I'll be looking at more than 1000 photos to print.

I spent a bit of time in my craft space today, and I think my first goal needs to be some major organization! I've got piles everywhere, and I started stripping the wallpaper in the basement (one large room that is part craft room and part playroom). I'm to the point with the wallpaper where I need to move my desk, and I hesitate to do that with all the piles of stuff everywhere!

Goals:
-major organization - desk, closet, and expedit
-memorabilia - thorough organization/consolidation - I want to go through all DS's preschool stuff for sure, and decide on a long-term storage plan; everything else at least organized so I can find stuff
-order remaining photos for 2 LOs that are finished otherwise
-finish Old Town LO on my desk - it has been sitting there since February!
-come up with a better way to organize/store my homemade page kits - and ideally finish off 1-2 kits leftover from Calvinball
-complete 20 LOs

Thanks for organizing this - I always do better when I actually write down some goals for a set time-frame!

My goal for the month is to:

- organize my everyday life albums, getting the first 2 albums in order
- work on page kits I've put together and including some Christmas layouts.

If I could get at least 20 pages done, I'd be super happy.

Hmmm, so far I really suck. I have not made any progress on my PL which means I am now even further behind and I've only completed 4 layouts this month. I clearly better get my skates on if I'm to stand a chance of meeting my goals.

I've gotten about 1/3 done on our Chicago trip and I'm mid-way through April on the 2016 Family album. Making good progress. Hoping to get caught up for 2016 in the family album and finish or at least get close on the Chicago album by the end of the month.

[I've decided that I need to do this again NEXT month as well]
