I haven't posted one of these in a while but...going to try and start them up again.
This is a thread to keep track of what you're hoping to work on this month, any goals you might have, and to share your progress.

Ooh, fun. I'm not a great SMART goal setter but I have some vague goals/intentions:
- spend more regular time in my virus diaries, catch up/keep up, loosen up, add more current stuff
- get back to cardmaking, at least one day a week
- finish the cards I started last week
- allot specific time to my junk sales project so it doesn't take all of my time
- don't even think about shopping if I'm not making cards with the stuff I already have!

I go in chronological order, and I am years behind. It will get done sooner or later.  I hope to make some progress, and get a lot of layouts done. My scrapbooking style is "all or nothing", meaning I will work on it every day for a month, then not touch it for a couple months. |

I’d like to stay frozen and do a little purge |

Love this thread!
I'm going to stay more refrigerated, except for page protectors, adhesive, & prints. And maybe cardstock. I want to use the stash I have so that it doesn't become unmanageable.
On that note, I want to try to make my layouts more layered & embellished to use all that stash.
I'll continue on with my pandemic layouts. I have to print July before I can continue. I will also continue taking notes for journaling the pandemic. Things are still so day by day, and big things get plowed over by new news constantly.
I want to catch up on non-pandemic layouts for May, June, & July. As soon as work resumed, my time for those layouts was mostly lost.
I still need to order my July photos. Hopefully today.

I tend to thrive on options, so try to keep specific plans to a minimum. But I DO have a project I am hoping the dgd's will get on board with this upcoming week: *return to their albums the pages I pulled to copy for their sister's grad album, and *pull the pages I will need to copy for their cousin's grad album for next June. There may be some overlap (pages that include both their sister and their cousin and I may want to copy again), but hoping that I will end up with a stack of pages to take to the printer this summer so it isn't such a rush NEXT year.
Oh, and msliz thinks I plan to "get smarter" b/c I am enrolled in the ScrapHappy Scrap Smarter on line event the weekend of the 21st to 23rd... |

Finish my Yellowstone album-10 ish pages left Finish my DC trip album 1 or 2 pages left Keep caught up on my sketch class - one sketch per week I’ve been working on my Yellowstone album today. 5 pages completed. Depending on how I decide to finish the last couple pages, I’ve got 6 or 7 left to do. I also purchased page protectors for my DC album so I can get that finished up as well. |

Keeping it fairly simple for August-
Make 4 birthday cards
Sign up for a virtual crop later in the month
Start & finish our Maine vacation album ( 2009). I have everything, just need to sit down & put it all together
Find a home for 2 boxes of purged stamps. Do I want to take the time to post them on local Facebook sites?
I would like to say that I won’t be purchasing anything but not sure how true that would be. I need nothing!,

going to try and start them up again I have missed this thread! I am back to one of my regular monthly crops and at the next one I am going to finish Christmas. I am a few pages from it. Then I am hoping to move on to Easter. That is because I have so many photos for Easter it will make a dent. I have page after page of day to day granddaughter photos, and they are fun to scrap, but overwhelming because they have really piled up in the past 6 months. You know for my Nov and Oct albums for her I needed to do one page in each, totally lost the photos, don't even remember what they were, and so I just moved things around and snuck the albums onto her shelf in her bedroom. She has, I think, 13 albums for her first year. I have every intention to slow down but...... My goal is to finish Christmas and Easter at my crop. |
