angel97701 that sounds awesome! Enjoy your trip! Sounds like a full plate to take care of beforehand. Chinagirl828 I like your approach to PL. I did a monthly version in 2018, and when I look back at that book, there are so many little things that would never have made it to an actual layout. Weekly would be too much I think, but doing a weekly version every few years would be an interesting change up. Anyone doing anything crafty this weekend? I am setting aside tomorrow for nothing but scrapping until evening when DS and I will finish the final two episodes of Squid Game. Then no TV for me for a few weeks lol. Depending on how things shake out today, I may get some in this evening. We'll see. I need to take a look at the challenges again and see how I can incorporate some of them.

Weekly would be too much I think, but doing a weekly version every few years would be an interesting change up. This is what I like about PL. I feel even in the monthly version there are lots of little stories that get missed, especially in a month where a lot happens or one or two bigger stories dominate. Typically I don't do other everyday layouts outside my PL, which is why I mix it up with a weekly version every so often. Of course, I'm scrapping so much more in the last couple of years than I think I ever have, so maybe I'll end up changing the way I do things. |

I have spent some time creating this weekend. Yesterday we had rain on and off throughout the day and the wind was cold, so I stayed indoors and caught up on my pocket pages. Today I've got some chores out of the way, and am working on the second last of the sketchtember sketches.

Good Morning team! I can't believe this month is nearly over. I spent some time Sunday scrapping, not even close to the whole day I had planned for myself lol. But long enough to decide to change the sketch I'm using for next weekend and starting over.  I don't know why I'm struggling so hard to get pages done lately. There are online crops planned for this weekend and I hope to hit at least one of them and get something done. Drop in and say crop with us, or just chat for a bit. It's so fun "meeting" the peas! I hope everyone has a good rest of the week! |

I seriously need to scrap but I've been super busy with work and life! Hopefully this week I can get some time in to scrap.

I can't believe it's the end of Oct already, this month has just flown by. We have a public holiday on Tues for cup day so I've taken Monday off work to have a long, long weekend. I plan to get some things done around the house but I don't quite feel awake today so I'm finishing up a layout this morning and we'll see how the rest of the weekend pans out.
I hope you find some time to scrap, or enjoy the halloween weekend for those that celebrate it.

Whew! October really ripped by me! A four day long weekend sounds delightful, Chinagirl828! Unfortunately, retired people don't get as excited about long weekends, LOL. Is it bad that I am relieved no one is coming here this weekend? Finally cleaned out all the crop containers today and have them back in the basement where they live. Still have a pile of bags of different collections/themes on my counter, but I hope to get them stowed into their proper drawers and tubs tomorrow. Last weekend and this week I have been frantically scrapping summer photos. Still have more yet to scrap. Hoping to jump onto a virtual crop on Sunday to do that. Have a list of titles, and tomorrow I will be setting aside some of the summer, lake, and camping scrappy supplies I can use on Sunday. Also have a couple of sketches I want to try. Had intended to put together some page kits, but that isn't going to happen. I set up a divided folder for FALL scrappy supplies and have pulled all the fall pic's printed so far. Hope to start scrapping those photos during or after next weekend's SCT papercrafting classes. Lots of fall goodies in their kits, too, so looking forward to it. Also finally started calculating my points. WHY do I leave that to the end of the month??? And don't forget, team members, to sign up for a November team. Last one this year. We usually take December off from the monthly challenges. |

Good Morning! Chinagirl828 you are kidding, October FLEW right by! grammadee I wouldn't feel bad about being glad no one was going to be there. I told my kids that this coming weekend is MINE! My weekends have been so busy, I need a down one. Just some quiet me time to scrap. So we wrap up another month. If you've signed up for November, feel free to set some challenges for next month! |

Don't forget there was spending and no spending challenge this month! Ryann I'm not sure if you're points included that.  I don't enjoy tracking the individual challenge points, so I go with the easy peasy method. I know it's not as many points for the team, but it works for me. I think all I collected are create & share points along with the easy peasy points. Thank you for checking joyfulnana !!  |

No problem! And not counting that is no problem either! Oh do easy peasy too, but I’m such a slow scrapper I need some extra help with the spend/no spend challenges 😂
And we all know it’s not really about the points anyway 😉

I don't know what the bonus was, but I will find out! I had a feeling you were one of the people that made all the cards. And the ones I saw were beautiful! |
