I haven't really seen the Scrapbook Monthly Goals thread in the new year, and I like that thread. Hope it comes back again and more people will participate. I already have the Donna Challenge so I can't commit to another monthly thread. But for this month, I will resurrect it.
My goal for March is to finish up Christmas 2020 and Easter 2020. I have only a few pages of each left to do, I think, and have a crop Friday.
I also pulled several categories with just a few photos that I will try to finish up Friday - Valentines Day 2021, Hot Air Balloon, Mardi Gras '21 and a Road Trip - a few photos in the car.
I have 3 other crops this month, one all day Sat and then 2 next Fri and Sat. I will also continue my organizational efforts when I get a free day or two at home. Have 2 boxes of stuff organized but I need to find a place to put them.
Anyone else?

I'm sorry - I was doing them but I've been moving (one car load at a time) since we closed in late December. Thanks for resurrecting it this month and I'll make a note to remember in April hopefully. myboysnmeMy goal for March is to sew two dresses and do at least SOME scrapbooking - I'm working on 2019 and am almost done with January |

I’m happy to see a March goals thread. This month I want to schedule at least two all day scrapthons. I had hoped to finish a themed album I’ve been working on but I’m not sure that’s possible. The month seems to be getting away from me without much scrapping happening. I’d be happy with making progress toward finishing it.

I realised last month I hadn't seen the goals thread but I've been MIA on a lot of the regularly posted threads so just assumed something had changed. Linda I can help with posting a new thread while you're moving and settling in if that helps? I started sorting photos to print this week, so my goal is to print all the remaining photos from my 2019 holiday this month. I also want to get at least two more layouts done for older, almost completed albums. My plan is to do these during the crop here this month. |

Thanks for posting this!
My mojo has been MIA due to lost delivery of photos last month & dealing with getting them replaced this month. I haven't even ordered February photos yet.
My goals are:
Order February photos (hopefully this weekend)
Write a list of theme paper & embellishments I need.
Put away four layouts just sitting on my shelf.
Write journaling for March pandemic layouts. It's been a year since school stopped being in person. Since masks were everyday items. Since the reality of just how massive the pandemic was hit home. A whole year.

I'm on the struggle bus right now. I'm struggling with photo printing and switching formats. I went from 12x12 last year to 8.5x11. Got tired of the odd size for photos so this year went with the 9x13 and I'm having a hard time with the size. I think it's time for a new printer and see if that doesn't help a bit.

My goal for March is to finish my 2020 JYC/DD.
Then, I need to take stock of my Christmas my supplies and pay attention to what I actually used in my album. I need to be firm with myself when all the new pretties start rolling out that I need very little, and to not buy the things I’m not using, even if they are cool/pretty. I’m mostly using printables from IACB, even though I bought two kits (FJ and KP/PP) and a paper pack (Photo Play).
My other generic goals:
•back up photos to my EHD and Amazon Photos
•finish one backlog class (I finished one class and I’m through 3/9 lessons of another)
•hit 50 LOs for the challenge (at 33/50)

I love this thread. I have a project I have to do for a DT. I have 1000 ideas and just need to pick one 😀
I’m working on my self love album. I am only on day 9 and would like to get at least to 15 by the end of the month.
I also started a travelers notebook for February. I would like to finish that.
My project life has been off the rails. I haven’t done anything in a month or so. I’m probably 5 weeks behind. I don’t have huge goals for catching up but I would like to challenge myself to just do anything in this. I would be happy if I just print one week of pics.

It just seemed so silly because we are doing nothing and all that nothing is already in my planner. Do I do bother to do Jan/Feb/Mar? I know after vaccination & with the weather warming up we will do some things. So I’m guessing I’ll have ‘extra’ things that don’t fit in my planner mid April & beyond? Maybe I stop chopping it up by months at all and just do the events that are more than my planner can hold and call it good? I have several date stamp options- both blocks of time and the dates with circles from Kelli Bradford plus at least one other date themed stamp set I could just make a card for the dates involved and put the ‘event’ in the book. Will it look weird if I do go back to month divisions later? Thoughts? Am I over thinking this? ( this is probably why I haven’t done Dec 2020 yet because once I do I need to ‘decide’ what I’m doing after that lol |

hop2, I’m the wrong person to ask. Lol. I started randomly in October. I just started and moved forward. So I had 3 months of last year. I’m still loving it but I will also just randomly stop when it’s not fun. Also of all those projects I listed including the one I have due for a design team this month I did a week of project life 🤣 I can’t be constrained by my own rules.

Also I did one year of PL continuously and skipped December because of December daily.

Do I do bother to do Jan/Feb/Mar? I would, but I'm a completionist. Maybe I stop chopping it up by months at all and just do the events that are more than my planner can hold and call it good? You could absolutely just have 2021 layouts with no further division. If you feel you need to break it into smaller chunks, what about seasons? |

My only scrap goals for March are to keep plugging away at my 2020 album. I cleared my table again so DD17 could use it for painting this week, and she ended up not having time for it after all. I could have been scrapping. Oh well, the weekend is here again, and I have the table again, so I'll probably get a few pages done at least.

It actually felt really good and I’m motivated to continue scrapbooking. I also organized my Kelly purkey stamps and found so much good stuff. I need to get using it but I found the lucky kit which for sure will go for next week in project life. |

I'm working on my photos now (obviously). I have two locations to complete, one is nearly done, although I'm about ready to just print everything and work it out when I go to scrap it, the other I've narrowed down to 53 photos so far, which I'll reduce further as I resize etc in photoshop. I stink at this goal setting thing. I didn’t work on any of my priorities and instead did 2 weeks of project life and an insert to go with it. Lol. It actually felt really good and I’m motivated to continue scrapbooking. At least you're making something.  |

Well my photo printing project is done. Since I ended up on a roll I also resized all the 2020 photos for the 3 year snapshot album and I've sent everything off to be printed. Now for the fun stuff!

I’m happy to be fairly up to date with my 2021 PL album. I started March and have the title page and first week done. I am working on my 2019 album. We remodeled in 2019 and I quit scrapping in Feb. due to the inaccessibility of my supplies, but decided to work on it over the Christmas holidays when I was off work. I’m ready to start on June 2019 and will try and get some of that done over Spring Break.

I will try to finish up Friday - Valentines Day 2021, Hot Air Balloon, Mardi Gras '21 and a Road Trip - a few photos in the car. I did manage to finish these photos on Friday, as well as finished Christmas and Easter 2020, but my 10 hr crop yesterday I worked only on 2020 birthdays. I only completed my birthday and DS1's birthday and his party. I have been filling out one of those sheets where you color in a number for every layout you complete, with the number of days in each month representing one layout. I have filled in up to mid June. At my crop this weekend I will endeavor to finish up birthdays - 3 to go from last year. But for sure I will bring some other theme because I will get burned out on birthday for sure! |
