March Goals and Progress thread

I think we all appreciate someone getting a thread going!

As for me, I have 2 crops in March. At the first one I plan to catch up on current photos. I still have some Christmas and some of son's teaching photos to do.

The second crop I plan to get into my 1830's photos again. I'd like to do about 50 pages all together this month. 

**I cropped Fri night and Sat and got 37 layouts done and caught up on my current photos.  Another shorter crop next weekend so I can probably meet my goal.

I decided yesterday that my heritage books are in serious need of updating. I've acquired many more photos that need to be included. Organizing for that may be something I do when I am home recovering from surgery if I feel up to it.

After my crop last weekend, I want to jump back in the swing of things so I am setting some lofty goals. This month my main goal is to finish a gift album for my sister and brother in law. I think I have about a dozen pages to call it done. I signed up for Shimelle's latest class and think I'll be able to apply those principles to the album then I want to move on to my stuff.

I want to finish the first half of my 2017 album (for shame, I know) other than our vacation week (however, I think I finally have almost everything I need/want to thematically work on that week based on things we did).

I NEED to get the past 6 months of photos printed out and into their albums because the 2nd half of 2017 and start of this year are going to be my crop focus (I doubt I'll make a huge dent, but I would like to feel like I made progress while away).

I want to be packed and ready for my crop before the week I leave. With Spring Break the week before and not having kids to usher around, I think I'll do my best to get everything done that week since things will be calmer (maybe not quieter with all 3 home the whole week, but definitely calmer).

My goal for Calvinball is 80 layouts/cards, we shall see. Of those 80, my goal is do complete
1 whole Christmas season set almost complete. Maybe 4 pages left.
DH's 2017 trifecta birthday, father's day, and national fishing day set
DD's 2017 birthday outing  Started at my crop, 11 pages almost finished. I have 2 pages in progress and 2 more to do.
Pocket pages that I've been putting off
get started on 2peasrefugee Christmas cards

and maybe ds's 2017 birthday outing set too

I have a crop in mid-March. I'll be ordering photos to pick up this coming Monday.

My goals for March:
1. Scrap a little every day.
2. Get 16-20 LO's ready to be adhered at CKC St. Louis next month.
3. Get pictures edited and ordered.

1. Print March of 2017-March of 2018
2. Place several orders for new stuff to inspire me
3. Start preparing page kits for a retreat in May

My goals are:

* post the March challenges
* finish the current Shimelle class
* complete at least 10 layouts

I'm moving any incomplete goals from Feb to this list:

1. Order extra page protectors for our Florida album (got a bunch of the Design 3 on clearance, still need more Design 2)
2. Order the album for Florida
3. Sort ALL the Florida photos and put them in the slots (I sorted ALL of them, put 2/3 in the slots but then ran out of protectors)
4. Cut and insert all the patterned papers in the extra slots (As above, I cut and inserted the papers into every pocked that I had)
5. Upload all of the January (minus the Florida) photos from both the camera and my phone and my husband's to Persnickety even if I don't order them
6. IF I get this far, type up the Florida journaling- this is mostly a bonus goal (I've typed up 1/2 of the total journaling and I'm going to print it later)

I'm also adding:

7. Print all S. Carolina photos
8. Sort all S. Carolina photos

*Clearly my issue here is lack of supplies- I have all the papers I want for my December holiday album, all the papers ad embellishments for both vacations, etc. I just need more page protectors. Once I order them, I can probably sit down and get an easy 40-50 photos put into an album.

This month I want to do more unpacking and organizing in my scraproom. I'd also like to experiment more with mixed media.

Work is really busy in March as I have a 2 week court hearing starting on the 19th so will be working long hours and at least one day of each weekend. So my goals are pretty modest - make 4 Easter cards (done), make card for 4 yr old daughter of friends just diagnosed with cancer (will be finished today) and make another set of first two 12 days ornaments as time permits.

I made a crafty planner with my extra happy planner supplies, inspired by Ali ‘s Story Planner.

My goals for March are:
1. Update Crafty Planner with PL status for all years. DONE.
2. Work towards PL Catchup everyday.
3. Challenge myself to use my supplies that I haven’t been using (I’m looking at you, pile of cork embellishments.)
4. Make a dent in AE Story Kits that have been untouched, or consider cancelling at end of contract. (Think I have 3 months left)

To help use my supplies, I create a jar with embellishments, papers, stamps and techniques on slips of paper. I’m going to draw 3-5 slips every time I sit down to craft, and challenge myself to incorporate what I draw in my PL spread that week.

Well, I just ordered February 2018 photos about ten minutes ago.

I haven't done much scrapping in the past few months, so my only goal (as it has been for awhile) is just to get a little scrapping done.

I did clear my scrapbook desk today. It had all manner of stuff on it, most of which was not scrap-related.

If I can find some motivation my main goal is to finish up DS#2 school albums. After that it's back to catching up with the family albums.
