The one thing I do is I make sure I print my photos at the end of the month I applaud you on this. I've tried to be more regular about editing and printing photos, but just can't seem to do it. Probably because I know I need to edit, but "we hates it!" (read the " " like Gollum of Lord of the Rings. Ugh yes...editing is my nemesis. unless it's on my phone I'm bad at doing it. Today is the crop at my house Have fun! Hope you get lots accomplished. It's nice to hear what everyone is working on, almost like we're scrapping together! Agreed! You so deserve a nap! Caregiving takes a lot out of you, and you need to recharge. I finished my December Daily last night!!

I finally got the titles and journaling done that I've been complaining about for weeks. You'd think it was 50 layouts! It was only 8. One was quite time consuming. It was a photo a day layout and I realized I adhered several of the pictures down in the wrong order and I had to fix that. I don't know what I was thinking when I glued those pictures down. How could I have gotten it that wrong??? I laughed a little too hard at this. Only because BTDT. I bet it feels really good to be done with the titles and journaling though!

I was so happy to put them in an album.

Well, I am done for the month of February. Have a babysitting gig for 3 days beginning of the week, so no time or energy for scrapping!
I got a lot more done this month than I thought I ever would. Guess that making creativity a habit helps. Hoping to keep it rolling in March.

11 layouts for the month. I am happy with that number. I didn't scrap the first half of the month and I went back to work full time mid-month.

the month is almost over so time to see what I accomplished and what still needs to happen in the next day or so.
-finish 2011 It was already finished! -scan 2011 layouts DONE -scrap and scan January 2017 DONE -finish printing 2016 photos DONE -keep working on scrapping 2016 photos and scanning as I finish each month - SCANNED through August and I'm scrapping September now -make thank you cards -make valentine cards DONE -keep up on ordering Feb photos each week - DONE and SCRAPPED
So it looks like I need to make some thank you cards today or tomorrow. Right now I'm working on DD10's Junior Girl Scout album - she bridged to Juniors in September and I've printed the photos but not scrapped. I've done the title page and one layout so far and I have one in progress...this is an 8x8 album so it goes quickly

I am happy to report that I have almost finished my scraprooms. I have 2. Both were in a horrible state. Between last weekend and this weekend. I probably have 20 hours into the clean. I actually have a purge box. I am seeing my one scrappy friend on Thursday night to give her one box to see what she would like to claim. And on Sunday its my monthly Art Journal Class and I have a box for a friend there. So it will be out of the house even.
Everything is grouped and in place where it should be kept. I just have to make it nicer. I am moving some stuff around yet. I have a ton of storage containers and baskets empty currently. I have a good chunk of shelving space too. I think one more good day of organizing and it will be complete. Actually in the state it is in now I will be able to just grab genre and deal with it. Like stamps, tools, bling. I really wish I had a pedometer on yesterday to see how many steps I took from walking all over the place putting items away. I had boxed all the way ward stuff and had it in the hallway, bedroom and living room. And if I saw a random item I knew where it went I would grab it and put it away. You think I would have taken a couple items , no I was at one point taking one at a time.
I even tried out markers and pens to see if they still worked. I did a really good clean of the room. Vacuumed, dusted, washed floors.
I am so hoping that I can keep it clean though and not just let it become a dumping ground.
I didn't get the 6 cards I wanted to make for this month complete but it worked out I had a couple made for some unexpected events. So next month, with a clean room and easy to find supplies I will work on cards needed and some extras just incase.

Work's been crazy and I haven't been scrapping nearly as much as I'd like to.
Yesterday, however, I was able to make two layouts. A 12x12 and a 8.5x11". Felt really good about that.

I just have to say that I LOVE these threads each month. It helps me to be more productive than I thought possible. Thanks, linda and Elsabelle, for starting this.

Time to start thinking about March goals I need to make some thank you notes today and hopefully a couple more 8x8 layouts in DD10's Girl Scout album. I just scanned DS25's soccer album (2002-2006) and am almost done scanning DD10's Day Out with Thomas album(2013) so I'm making slow but steady progress in scanning completed albums. One thing I'm noticing as I scan older layouts -is that my style hasn't changed a whole lot and I'm still happy with my older layouts. The materials I use have changed - different brands of paper, different embellishments...but overall I still have a clean, linear style that is aging well.

It's been so helpful to me, too. I've been scrapping more lately than before. I didn't get as much done this month as I had hoped but I'm still happy with what I did accomplish. I'm hoping to keep the ball rolling in March.

I haven't done much in the way of scrappy stuff since the new year. I've been busy purging and organizing my house and participating on the purge thread. This week I cleaned organized and purged my scraproom. That was long over due and was glad I pushed thru it and got it done! For February I have several goals: *make valentine treat bags for GD class *make 12 thank you cards for an order *come up with 4 card samples for make and takes I'm hosting at a local crop in March. I then have to prep the supplies needed for the participants. I'm also doing a card class at a different crop this is in February so I will have to prep for that as well. *I have four 3 day retreats coming up, 2 in March and 2 in April. I need to figure out my projects for them. I make up kits either for layouts or cards to take with me. I want to at least get enough for the March ones and the 1st one in April *I started a project life type album for each of my 4 boys starting from their birth so 1990 on. I have from 90-95 photos copied sorted and put in pockets for the first 3 boys but no filler cards and no journaling. I would like to get that caught up so I can start where I left off as a March goal. Hope I can accomplish all this in between my house purge/organize goals! I'll add photos to the thread as I accomplish my goals. I got another of my February goals done. I had to come up with make and take card samples for crop I was at this past weekend. I will use them for make and takes at crop I'm attending this weekend too. I got the ty card order and the treat bags also done. Packing for this weekend's crop tomorrow but I didn't get any other planning done for the crop at end of March. I'll add this to March goals. I also didn't get anything done on kid's PL albums adding to March. Pretty happy with what I accomplished!
