How is everyone doing?
My goals and progress for March were:
Try and complete 12x12 vacation album - do the title page and insert. - Half done. Need to do that insert! I keep putting it off because there are more exciting things to work on. Start printing February vacation photos - cut down and get into pockets. - DONE! Start printing photos for my engagement/wedding album now that it has arrived from SC. - DONE!
My April goals:
Keep plugging away at February vacation photos Keep my engagement/wedding album regularly up to date. Get my electric typewriter working again. Haven't used it for years. Use it or lose it! Create labels for albums that haven't been labelled yet
Your turn!

My April goal will be the same as my previous months - I have 2 crops so I would like to complete 50 layouts. If I didn't miscount I am at 27 layouts this month so I'm a bit ahead to complete the 50 next weekend.
Of those 50 layouts I would love to catch up with my current photos up through this weekend. If I remember any challenges I will try to work some in for the team. I scrapped all but 4 of my current photos, except DS took some photos yesterday I want to print and scrap. I also did 4 team challenges - the kiwi color, the foil, the stash and the black/white challenge.
I only got 41 layouts done this month. I really got hung up today looking for something I just knew I had with me, except I didn't. Lost an hour going through everything. I lost 4 hours last week leaving the crop to go take a nap (was not well) and today I didn't get there until 11 and socialized a bit more than usual so I lost a good 5 hours of crop time this month and that would have given me 10 layouts to get me to 50.
I did a few more team challenges: the spring is sprung, water for Don, Then and Now, and Happy Birthday.

For April I plan to complete at least 30 scrapbook pages and do as many of the challenges here as I can to help out my Team. Have one page done for the April Bonus Challenge. Most of that will happen at the crop at the end of the month. I am copying and pasting all the challenges into a Word document I can print and take with me to the crop. Am also collecting photos and the papers/embellishments I want to use with them. Setting aside bins and bags of themed products that might work. Not exactly kitting, but this is how I roll.
I also plan to do something with my art media every day for the 100 days project. Missed Sunday, but back on track today.
Two birthday cards that need to be created and ready for mailing by this Thursday.

I had to look up my March goals... They were pretty simple - make a card for DH's birthday - CHECK and get my room finished - CHECK. So now April goals... I want to learn how to use my Prismacolor pencils so I can colour like a pro. I sat down last night with them and an adult colouring page I found online. I spent the evening colouring and discovered that I actually enjoyed it. I'm not even close to finishing the page, but I was practicing layering and it's coming along. You can definitely tell I'm a real beginner, but heck, you've got to start somewhere. So my goal for April - as simple as it may sound - is to spend some time working on colouring with Prismacolor pencils.

March goals are as finished as March goals will get, and April is a clean slate. Also less time to create in April.
I'm working on the 100 day project, so I'm hoping to do something creative each day. When I can't get to my craft room, it'll be my cooking.
I'm in the April Team Challenge here. So I just want to create as much as I can and do a few of the challenges to get my team points.
I haven't put anything away from my crop in March, so I'm doing a bit of cleaning here and there.
Also I want to make a stand for my video camera to do taping of projects without the tripod being in my way.
*eta* oh, and there are 2 doors to my craft room. We (dd&I) decided that I should move the room around to block the living room door so we can use that space in the living room and make the back hallway door the open door. So I've made a to scale blue print of the room and items in it and have been moving things around to see best placement. I hope to move it around in the summer. I think I need to downsize my stuff. So that's taking up mental space in my mind.

We're having another burst of warm weather and I really want to make the most of it so my goal for the rest of this month is to only make 3 layouts.

I haven't scrapped in a about 6 weeks. As I posted in the last two Goals threads, I have the photos and the papers and embellishments, but don't have the 6x8 pocket pages and I need more albums. I just hate buying the 'boring' stuff so much that I don't do it and then there's no reason for the fun stuff. I also can't buy the pocket pages at Michael's anymore and I haven't felt like ordering online. Anyways, I was given a cash gift today and I never ever spend the money on my self- welp, I did! The TWELVE packs of pocket pages and TWO albums will be here soon and I'm going to literally put every printed photo I have for all current pages in those darn pockets. That's the bare minimum. When that's done, I'll add the papers and extras, but it will be such a relief to have the photos safely put away.

I'm working on the 100 day project, so I'm hoping to do something creative each day. When I can't get to my craft room, it'll be my cooking. Already out of this one. This past week I've done nothing creative, not even a new recipe (family is sick and no appetites).I'm in the April Team Challenge here. So I just want to create as much as I can and do a few of the challenges to get my team points. I hoped to get 8 projects completed and did 11.I haven't put anything away from my crop in March, so I'm doing a bit of cleaning here and there. There is always May.Also I want to make a stand for my video camera to do taping of projects without the tripod being in my way. There is always June.*eta* oh, and there are 2 doors to my craft room. We (dd&I) decided that I should move the room around to block the living room door so we can use that space in the living room and make the back hallway door the open door. So I've made a to scale blue print of the room and items in it and have been moving things around to see best placement. I hope to move it around in the summer. I think I need to downsize my stuff. So that's taking up mental space in my mind. Still processing and trying to decide what to do. So how did everyone else doing on their goals?

Great work as a team player, LisaDV! Glad you got so many challenges done. Too bad your family is feeling poorly: you all need to get feeling better, FAST! I got my 30 pages and two bd cards finished. Met several, but not all of the April challenges. Still need to photograph and post my pages to those challenges. Have been playing with art mixed media on a quasi regular basis for the 100 Days Project, but certainly not every day. Learned some fun techniques at the weekend crop. Hope to use some of them on later projects.

I started a non-crafting project in my craft space mid April, and I still haven't regained use of the room. I moved everything out of DD14's room into the family room (my craft space), and we're sorting it and we're only bringing back in what fits and what she truly needs and wants. She got a new bed out of the deal too, and I'm left with the mess and the donation piles. Still so much to sort through, and it's tough to find the time when we're both available. It's a slow moving project, but at least it is moving along.
I'm hoping I'll be able to do some scrapping by mid May. Maybe?

Well, my plans went awry like the usually do, but for a good reason! I got new furniture for my scraproom so most of the month was taken up with reorganizing things several times to finally get it exactly how I want it. I did not get my pictures printed like I wanted too, but who am kidding, I have tons and tons of other pictures I can scrap! So now I am doing last minute prepping for my retreat that starts Friday morning at 10am goes till Sunday afternoon!
