Hah! I'm not working on anything! I started my 2017 PL album with FYC's New Beginnings kit but I just wasn't feeling it. I don't like anything I make lately and things don't seem to be coming together for me.... I think I'm just in a funk. Once something goes right, it'll all come back to me!

Most definitely! They were the kettle cooked type! LOL. Ah, the extra embossed ones... I am trying to clear enough room on my desk and the floor around it so that I can actually be crafty. Who bought all of this stuff!?!? Yeah, who did buy all this stuff? Right?

I've spent quite a bit of time reorganizing paper, stamps and died from Christmas, Fall and beyond. Yeah, who did buy all this stuff?
Now that I have some space where I can work, I'm making something with a 6x6 pad of Julie Nutting paper, some vellum and a cute little valentine double hearts die. I don't know what I'm making with it yet, but probably a cards and pocket page embellishments. I'm killing time until my SSS Feb card kit comes!

ellewood , I'm sure you're just in a funk too. Everything you make is gorgeous. Hope you start feeling it soon. For the win! Both of my desks are covered with supplies for 12 double page swap layouts that are in progress. I'm at the glue and finish off stage. Life has taken over all of my time. The kids need schooled (I homeschool), hubs and kids want to eat, have clean clothes, etc. They're so picky! Hubs had a minor procedure and needed waiting on for a few days. Hoping I can finish them off quickly and perform a quick clean up. I really want to start pairing up printed photos with kits. Plus I really, really want to go through photos and print some more out (which is usually the last thing I want to do, and I'm afraid the mood will be over when I actually have the time.)

LisaDV can't get the quote function to work properly on my phone but you said this... "Hoping I can finish them off quickly and perform a quick clean up." Ummm...should we be notifying the authorities! LOL! The way it read to me made me crack up! That's probably going too far just to get some scrappy time though.

I hope to finish my DD 2015 someday, lol! I already knew when I started that project that I wasn't going to do it again because I couldn't keep up with it from the start (at least I finished my November 30 Days of Thankful albums a couple of weeks ago). I am working on a PL spread from June 2015. I am picking things at random, but many weeks are 4-6 spreads each, so I find myself looking at many that are only 2 spreads or 2 spreads with an insert just to make it go faster...so I made myself choose a 4 spread week to work on. I did a page from 2016 earlier this week and am trying to bounce back and forth. I think I'm going to write the week numbers left for each year and put them in 2 bowls, have random.org choose 1 or 2 or flip a coin in google (if I use a real coin, my children will run away with it) to choose a year to work on and then dig a week out of the proper bowl in the very near future. But first, I want to start my 2017 PL album and play with the December Memories kits from Gossamer Blue for December 2016 (I need to know if I'm going to need a third kit or if I even want to use the one theme for all of December in my album...if I want a third kit, I want to be able to order with bundling at the start of Feb, which is why I have to make it a priority). So many plans, such a slow scrapper, lol. I think I'd be caught up if I scrapped in real life as quickly and as much as I scrap in my head.

I finished up and mailed the box of Valentine cards today! I had such a hard time getting motivated until yesterday and now I wish I had more time to make them because ideas are flooding my brain now.
Hopefully that mojo will cross over to the thank you and kid birthday cards I need to make for the January and February Ronald McDonald houses.

I am working on baby layouts using Simple Stories' Hello Baby line. I am almost done with the collection. I love working on these pages -- I am 1.5 years behind so it is a little trip down memory lane!

Well, you know, that will serve my family right for wanting my time. I had to go back and re-read through my post because I didn't know what you were talking about until I re-read my post. In my head I knew what I meant, finish the layouts off quickly.

finishing up my pocket pages for my 2016 album. I do a mix of 12x12 and pocket pages and while the pictures and cards are done for the pockets - I always leave the journaling and embellishment for the last step.

Finally started my first three PL pages today at a crop I've never done any before so I still need to do my journaling, but I have another crop next Saturday so I'm hoping to get a bit more done.

I might have been unintentionally productive this weekend. I thought that I had put cards into my entire DD 2015 album, but apparently I hadn't. I went to use those supplies (I have my DD supplies on a Raskog dedicated to them) because I quickly learned while working with my 2 kits from Gossamer Blue that I wasn't going to have enough 4x6 cards. Before I committed to buying a third kit during bundling, I wanted to see what I had left from the 2015 kit and make as much use of those things as I could. I realized there was quite a bit left and thought it best to double check my album to make sure I was right about having filled up the album with cards. Nope...I only got through day 4 and had set up the 2x2 pockets in the later part of the album and that was it. So instead of working on my 2016 December PL like I had planned, I spent about 4 hours this weekend filling in the pockets of my entire DD 2015 album so I could try and make good use of the leftovers for last year without feeling like I was stealing supplies from that project. Keep in mind, I spent hours just doing the 4 days that I completed and yet, when faced with wanting to maintain productivity on my intended project, I managed to speed through (and I like the layout of everything for the most part) the bones of another. Now, hopefully this week I will make a fair amount of progress on my 2016 December PL. I have about 7 pages for all of the first 3 weeks and 11 for the last week and a half alone...there's just no way I can extend the 2 2016 kits from GB that far, so I'm thinking I will use them for the 11 page spread and use my leftovers (and the 2016 SU kit I have) for the other three weeks. I feel great about it because it's getting some older things worked on...I really don't like having unfinished projects but hadn't been motivated to work on my DD album. I'll admit, it is still going to be difficult to not buy another of the GB kits (and if there is another subscriber coupon, I very well may buy another one anyway...the 4x6 cards are really light because of the paper orientation...many of my 3x4 cards are Frankensteined together...if I get another kit, I'll try my hand at applying that technique to 4x6 cards, too).

I haven't worked on anything since getting back from Christmas vacation back home in Australia a week ago. My craft room looks like a bomb hit it - there are all sorts of things that I need to find a home for on the desk and the sofa. Once I get the mess tidied up a bit, I want to start on the photos from our month back home. It includes Christmas, New Year and my dad's 80th Birthday party.

I am not working on a specific project; just wading through my photos from the past 3 months, getting them on pages...
Because I am playing with photos with different themes, I have taken out a lot of different supplies. My usual MO is to clean up after I have finished a project. No set project: no cleanup... The piles of scrap crap on my counters are getting precarious. Might have to take some time to sort that out, but probably not today. When I pull out some hockey pics and realize my hockey papers are all mixed in with christmas and little boy and fashionista and Family themed elements, and stuff starts to slide off...

Not. A. Damn. Thing.
Just got back from my DS graduation from Air force BMT, and I feel like I finally finished a race and got nothing left in the tank!
I tried sitting and scrapping and just couldn't. Gonna take a time out and regroup. Maybe do some shopping, see if that sparks my mojo! I need to get it in gear cause I need to prep for a 4 day crop in March!

I set up that last week in 2016 PL yesterday and tossed ephemera into pockets that seemed appropriate and got 2 pages in today. I've also put my replacement typewriter to good use...it has been my sole journaling tool so far and I'm really happy with how it's turning out. I wish I could say that's all I had left, but I have less than 10 layouts done for either 2015 or 2016, lol. I'm somewhere around 14 now between the two, I think?

I went to an 11 hr crop on Saturday. Started a 2 page layout from our 2013 Disney World trip. Since then, I have added tire tracks and today I ironed the bakers twine I plan to use on the layout. Still need to decide what font to use for the title, add the banners and journal.
I ADMIT I AM A S-L-O-W scrapper.

2014 Family Album. I'm as far as October. I skip from 1 project to another. I'll probably do some birthday photos next.
