I really love these monthly threads but I forget to participate or update after my initial post.

I'm going to play along this month!

• Start my new dog album
• Back up and organise photos of our new dog from August
• Finish documenting our mini-vacation from July

I just did a Positivity Passport style project and loved it - I just finished it yesterday. You will love it! It’s a really nice mini project with a lovely sense of achievement at the end. Have fun

No-Spendtember for me minus page protectors and Rustic Rose if it debuts.

Biggest goal is to keep reorganizing my scrap room.

I really need to get hack to at least weekly videos on YouTube.

Posting weekly on my blog too is on my list.

I can do this!

September Goals

-finish Hybrid Ali Edwards class and play with PSE more
-finish creating my homemade planner
-create some layouts-which means getting some photos printed

I have no crop in Sept because I am going with my mom to the shore the weekend of the crop.  Several of the crop regulars have tested positive for Covid which probably means the crop will be cancelled anyway.  

So my only goal for September is to keep trying to "power sort."  I have pulled product for the masses of photos I've taken this year to try to match them up with the photos.

If I can figure out a way to make that process less painful, I will have met my Sept goal.  My plan is to have everything such that when I do have a chance to scrap I can just pull photos and product and knock them out.

Love this thread, even when I don't have a lot to post!😁

Between work & helping the kids with virtual school, I don't have a lot of hope for much getting accomplished.

I still need to order August photos.

I want to keep up with September pandemic journaling, keeping notes for when I do scrap it.

I'm joining in on no fun spending September. I have birthdays to spend on, and each day the schools add stuff to buy for the kids virtual schooling. But no scrapping goodies, other than prints.

My goals
-No Spend September on scrapbook related products.
-Do October Daily project, but it's more like add pages to my ongoing Halloween Album
-Organize and upload photos and order for October Daily (that was one of the exceptions on no spend September)
-Use my undated planner consistently especially with school starting on Tuesday. I'll decorate it a bit too. I got a stupid amount of school scrap supplies. It will be fun to do a school themed spread. I don't do individual albums for my kids once they are past the age of five. It all goes into the family album.
-Scrap photos already printed.

I've gotten my closet cleaned and organized. Took some things to a friend that has a day care. Plan on editing photos this weekend and then hitting it hard on my Aug PL mid next week. 

I have a bunch of projects to work on but I will just pick 2 for this month.

- Finish 52 favourites for 2019. Only 4 weeks to go then proofreading.
- Get it printed at Blurb.
- Work on New Hampshire album. 2/8 days are done.
- Get it printed at Artifact Uprising if I manage to finish it.

I put away several layouts that are either finished or "done enough" just to get them off my shelf.

I continued working on a one page Fourth of July layout that I had started last week. I used a short layout how to vid (that I saw posted here) as inspiration. I used a plate to make a half circle, then did layered squares, and just one pic.

I still haven't ordered August photos yet.

With all those sales at Joann's it's hard not to jump in & buy! Buy! Buy! But...

...I've been very meh about scrapping lately. It feels like there is nothing of note to scrap because, truthfully, we're not doing anything of note.

Due to the pandemic, we're not going to events. Or museums. Or restaurants. Or movies. Not hanging out with people outside of our very tiny bubble. Spring Break & summer break was a lot of the same - inside the house, out in the backyard.

Now there's virtual school, and we took first day of school pics, but after that? Not much excitement happening.

Now my favorite season is almost here - Autumn! -
and we won't be going to the farm for Fall Fest. No Trick or Treating. No school parade.


Anyway, one good thing... I tossed the paper scraps from the Fourth of July layout. Sometimes it just feels freeing not to hold onto every little piece.
