Y'all ladies have been busy busy! Great job everyone! The layouts, cards and babies are all gorgeous!
I have done one layout, participated (games) in an online crop Sunday night while I made 3 kits and realized that I have a total of 15 sheets of PURPLE patterned paper, ummmm how is that possible? SO next time I unfreeze it is on the list to find some I like!
I loaded TWO WRMK D ring 3 ring 12X12 albums FULL of layouts and still have some to spare. I counted and I am sitting at 72 right now for the year so WOOHOO! I set a goal of 300 layouts for the year so we will see how I do on that. Off to a good start (that 3 day crop helped a LOT!). I am out of kits though so this week is going to be spent making those here and there.

I scrapped way more than I thought I'd be able to today. I finished 7 layouts total. Two 8.5x11's, five 12x12's. They were all school related layouts, so I was in a groove. Nice!

Putting layouts in the right albums is soooo satisfying. I take time to go back over the other layouts in the albums, too, grammadee! Sometimes when I see those layouts that I haven't looked at in awhile, I wonder how I ever made those awesome pages...other times I cringe!!!

iheartpaper ME TOO! I love it even more when the kids look at them. They routinely get them off the ikea kallax in the living room (I need another one soon) and look through several. I have to change our gallery wall of 12X12 this week and I am excited abou tthat too!

I love having one more page protector full. Share some!!

Glad you two got an outing, iheartpaper --and that you got some scrap able photos! Gorgeous cards, canadianscrappergirl ! No wonder you get orders! I finished 2 pages today: nothing very artsy, but some cute photos about quiet family traditions. I am back on track to get these stories IN THE BOOK! Unlike you, LisaDV , I actually like getting the pages into the albums. As I add new pages I flip through completed ones and think about what new pages belong with these. Congrats on getting 2 pages done! This thread is on a roll! I also flip through all of the old pages, it's almost like a habit now each time I add a page

Thank you ladies so much for the kind words. Remember I had a fantastic three day crop where I got about 35 of those done. There are I think 12 of those (6 double page layouts) that don't have pictures yet. They are Scrapbook Generation layouts I did to get started. I just have to put pictures on them but I counted them in the count. Here are a few I have done this year. Love your pages! May have to lift a couple of them!

Thank you ladies! My boys (hubby and DS who is only 4!) did really well keeping the shelves a secret. I had particle board cheap shelves before and was terrified of loading them up. These are all wood and wrap all the way around my space. They also have inlaid lights that are AWESOME! Since my space is in the finished basement with the toy room/hubby computer area it was much needed!

Two more pages today with the 2Peas February Sketch challenge. Used a few scraps, and some washi tape, but mostly new sheets of pp and cs. And I have started another double pager, using some really old (LYB) pp and working with a sketch from another source.
One more story told, and into an album. One more in the process.

Goals seem strange to me. I just can't put goals into creativity...to me, it isn't something that can be scheduled. I have done well to do SOMETHING creative every day this month so far (not yet today, though). That is huge for me. Once the ball gets rolling, I find that I want to make more. I am doing PL for this year right now (only first 2 1/2 weeks are printed, just waiting to order more than a couple dozen pics to make it seem more worthwhile) and am loving it.
The feeling of diving into a current kit with current photos is awesome. I did the math recently and I have only done 16 werks between 2015 and 2016...so I have some serious work to do on older stuff, but my hope (not goal, lol) is to remain caught up as far as I have pics printed and alternate between older layouts while waiting for new pictures. I am also trying not to print every cute picture because there are a ton with 3 kids. That and an uneventful year so far means my PL isn't constantly 4 or more spreads and it helps A TON!
But today is my son's birthday and his party is Sunday then my daughter's birthday is the end of the month, so it won't be uneventful for much longer!

That sounds like a great way to maintain the mojo while "getting pages done". When I print pix I sort them into groups, and then make a list of titles for them: that way when I am distracted by newer events, I find it easier to get right back into the older ones without feeling overwhelmed.

I like the idea of alternating. Happy birthday to your ds and your dd. Hurray for parties!! Lots of photo opportunities!

Great to hear everyone's goals, I'm just back from vacation and need to:
- finish my DD - from 22-25 Dec
- organise all my photos
- decide which pics to start with for my vacation album
I just gave a couple of gifts and noticed I have very few tags in my stash. Would also like to make a few of those to have on hand.

2016 is DONE. Yay !!! And I discovered I only need to make 6 more pages in order to finish up 2015. I'm so glad to have actually completed a year, and now a second year is so close to the finish line!

I got some fun supplies in the mail yesterday and I'm getting pictures in the mail today. I may break the rules (you know, the ones I arbitrarily make up for myself) and scrap current pictures so I can use those new supplies. We had a great camping trip in September and some of my new stuff is MME Happy Camper.
