Im free, I'm FREE! Just finished my 50th page and posted it today! Have several carts beginning to fill up on line, but I have not yet pulled the trigger. Other than cardstock in my go-to colours, I am not really feeling the NEED for more stuff. Think I will mull this over for awhile... That's AMAZING!!! Well done!! What I love most about this challenge is that it really sharpened the focus for what we use, what we love, etc...That, plus the pandemic, I think has made my Tuesday Morning adventures a thing of the past. (We will see how I feel in 2022 lol) Go you!

I finally found some scrappy mojo this week and made 6 pages. I’m mostly working with collections & sketches to make it easier.
Only 44 to go.
I better hurry since I have some cocoa vanilla’s new collection in my cart at ACOT. The ETA is March so I have to decide if I want to make an exception, set a mini goal, start over or simply go without.

I'm still sitting at four more layouts until goal. Work, helping with virtual schooling, and household chores have taken all my time lately. Boo!😁
I have been thinking about what I might want to buy, though, when I do reach goal.
I think I want a 1" or so snowflake punch or die set. I've had the same tiny (confetti size) snowflake punch for years, bought in the M's dollar bin. While it's lovely, I want something new and bigger.
I have used most of my cardstock, other than the ream of 8.5x11 white. I would like kraft, black, navy, true red, some blues and some greens.

grammadee, that's great! What an accomplishment! Have fun when you do decide to do a little shopping. christinec68 Wow! Six layouts in one week is a lot. Great job! LavenderLayoutLady, you're so close! I hope you get some down time soon so you can reach your goal.

I'm combining this with the 100 day project. I've done an additional planner spread and one journal card. I have now finished six "pages". That's sad typing out that number! I'm also being very generous at what counts as a "page". I hope to do do a lot of crafting this weekend. Monday-Wednesday felt like an entire week! I need a break. I tried coloring one image, it looked, bad so I re-stamped it and I'm keeping it at black and white.

Finished another set of 6 cards for a video next week! So that counts as one more for me.

Congrats everyone!!!
I still have 19 to go, but fell off the wagon big time, not sure why...sad to say but I got the 49th and Market stuff in the mail and while I like it...I am not sure why I HAD to have it right then. Not sure if I should start over, or just call it a one off and keep going. Not gonna lie, kind of disappointed in myself.

I am all about giving myself grace for things like this but at the same time I'm hard on myself too. In your shoes, I would make it some complicated thing where I have to add back 1/2 of what I accomplished (so here it would be 19+15 = 34) but also not use the new stuff until I finished since not shopping & using my stash was the goal.

This is what I think I would do, but I say that as someone who needs to buy albums and currently has 6 sheets of pp in the cart with them and is trying to justify it before hitting the buy button.

Scrapbook.com is having a sale on their exclusive brand and I need albums. I need about a dozen, but my budget says no. I’ll be picking up three and a few more sheets for my sister’s baby shower gift. I’m ok with that. I’ve tweaked my cart multiple times and have removed things I put in there on a whim.

I think I am just going to put the new stuff aside, and concentrate on my 19 pages. When those are done, I will look at the 49th and Market stuff as part of my "treating myself".

I've done 14 'new address' cards, 1 engagement card, and 2 new house cards. And I've packed up the rest of my scrap space so until at least some of it gets unpacked....I'm on hiatus

I've made 20 pages towards my goal of 50 so far and I'm feeling really good about the not shopping. I've mentioned previously about needing to buy albums for my 2021 pages but even though it's a necessity I can't seem to convince myself to buy them.
I'm impressed with how many pages everyone has made so far, especially those of you who have reached your target already.

I am so free...I have made 12 calendar pages, 18 december daily pages, 6 regular scrapbook pages, and edited/printed 25 MONTHS of pictures I had chosen to give myself 4 "pages"/month, so that would be 100 "pages"... maybe I did overestimate there, but it took almost ALL my free time the past 6 weeks!
I took them all to costco today. It was 1569 photos, but only 1369 prints since 200 of them are what I call "duplex" photos - I put 2 3x4 photos on a 4x6 print because it gives me variety in scrapbooking.
Strangely, the ladies at costco did not even blink at the number of prints. There was absolutely no twitch of "unusual". I think many people are doing this last minute ordering thing!
Anyways I'm free to shop! I have a cartful at s'book.com and yet I'm reluctant to pull the trigger...

I still have four layouts to go before I can shop.
I don't even know if I want to spend money on scrapbooking. I just feel so meh.
Today I'm weighing whether I should deep clean in the house, or scrapbook. Maybe both?

Just finished three layouts.
One more until 50.

And my fifty layout goal is met!
I don't know why, but I somehow thought I'd be scraping the bottom of my stash, cobbling together pages with the last little bits of paper.
Ha!
Not so much.
Though I did use quite a bit of top tier scrappy goods.
Where do I go from here?

Another 50? I have a friend who has been making a page every day. Her goal was a page every day in Jan but she's just kept going so now her goal is to see how long she can keep it up. Congrats on completing your 50 pages.
