I've finally printed out my photos and picked them up last Friday. Between last Wednesday and today, I finished 12 layouts, including the completion of my 2007 Christmas photos!!! All are digital. I'm currently working on my altered rolodex cards. It feels so good to get into paints and cut paper and have that tactile feel.

Congrats on the job, seveerb! I know it will take a lot of time and energy at the beginning, but hopefully you can come back to scrapping when you have some down time! I added 4 Christmas '16 pages to my album today. Two I started Saturday morning, and two I started and finished today. Also did a quick sort of all the STUFF on my counters, and so now all the Christmas/winter supplies are at least in the same pile, so I can find what I want much more easily. AND I have more room to play...

Well I did accomplish a couple of things with my long weekend...not a lot but something at least! LOL.
I managed to put together a few birthday cards for my depleted stash, catch up on my daily dog walks album and I got one Christmas layout done. That last was the biggie for me. I have been putting of the Christmas pages because I just couldn't get back into that Christmas groove. I hope it's a start and I will be able to get some of the others done this week.

I haven't been doing much scrapping the past week but last night I worked on a couple of easy grid layouts. I trimmed all the pictures and adhered them while listening to a podcast. I love a good mystery podcast. My goal for the week is to finish those two layouts plus journaling and titles for a few others.

Two double pagers today.
Now just one 2-pager and a back page for my Christmas album to go... Have the photos chosen. Hope to get those done and into the album tomorrow. Then I can [FINALLY] store away my Christmas stash!

Finished another layout this morning. Downloaded photos from dd's camera yesterday which wasn't on my list of to do's, so it's a bonus. Downloading my dslr photos today, I kitted 1/2 of the freshly printed photos yesterday. Hope to finish the other half today or Saturday. Then I'll be really ready to create up a storm in March.

well done grammadee and that's a lovely page to wrap up the album! What box comes out now that Christmas is going away? I will be working on winter and general little boy pages, and all the supplies for those are in my cabinet drawers and the shelves above and below my counters.

grammadee, isn't finishing something such a good feeling? I've been scrapping away this week but still not doing that journaling and cutting titles that I put on my to do list. Layouts are piling up that need both. That's ok, though. I'm having fun with what I'm doing.

I have just read back over all I've missed in this thread. Missing in action for nine days and you all have accomplished so much. Congrats on the new position seveerb! I have accomplished very little in my time away. Another thread has had my stomach tied up in knots and I've been unable to focus. You all may have read the drama. It's about boxes... Anyway...my scrapbook room is still torn apart. I do a little bit daily, but the lower of my two hernias has ripped more from carrying crates around. Paper is heavy! So now I have to either move small amounts of stuff at a time, or ask for help. I have made the kit for my 2016 project life albums. I put that project, my December Documented project and DD19's college project on the desk in my room so I can work on them if I feel creative. I also have DS30's Japan project at his place, but haven't had any time to work on it after I made the first three pages. After his first post surgery outing we've been running around daily scouring the metropolitan area for Power Rangers. He even was able to go for a walk late last night and started to drive again. I'm still needed for packing the surgery site and being his partner in crime, but I think that will be done on his four week follow up Wednesday. Then I can get back to preparing for my surgery in 3 1/2 weeks. Crap...I really need to get moving! I'm behind on EVERYTHING! So my only February goal that may get finished is my scrapbook room...if I get lucky!

an unstated goal this month is to finish with that theme so I can put my Christmas stash awayIf I am on track to meet my February scrap goal, I will have logged a total of 57 pages in the 2017 count in my status line by February 28th. That sounds like a lot, but certainly doable I think. Christmas album completed. Christmas scrappy supplies stowed away. 25 pages so far this month. hope to get a few more done, but a busy 2nd half of the month ahead. How are your goals coming along?

I'm also a SAHM of older school-age children (10 and 16) which means I have significantly more free time than working women and SAHM with younger children But it also shows that you make good use of your time. I need to get off the internet! iheartpaper, I read that thread and was relieved that I didn't buy one of the boxes. It's too bad that some peas didn't feel comfortable sharing their experience because the rest of us can learn from them if we can read them. I understand they don't want to cause drama but I don't view sharing that info as causing drama. I'm glad to hear your son's recovery is going well. Take care of yourself before and after your surgery!

This month I hope to: -finish our summer vacation at the cabin album (near done, about 6-7 pages left -start working again on our family album (I used to do a separate album for my DD who is 25 but now I'm going to start doing just my family album as she also scrapbooks and as an only child she will someday inherit all my scrapbooks anyway -I was going to list print photos from December but I stopped after work and got those printed!!! -make Valentines card for hubby and DD (and her significant other) -hoping to finish 25 layouts Finally finished my summer vacation album. It took much longer than I thought to finish it but it's finally done. Now I should get back to DD/family album but I really want to do a mini album of a short day trip my husband and I took last fall to Madeline Island.

Well done everyone for what you have already accomplished.
My goal was to finish 8 layouts (or my PL but I've been ignoring that) and I finished my last layout yesterday. Today is meant to be wet so I'm hoping to spend some more time creating once some chores are out of the way.
