Crafty Crew - Quarter TWO chat thread

Well I just finished 2021 for DS! Now on to 2022. I have a few layouts done for him.

Good job!

We didnt do much 2021 because of the pandemic. So there were only 12 pocket page layouts. And I print as I go with my Canon Selphy. 

kitbop, I won’t wait for the garden plants. Even if I can only do a few each day it will be better than waiting a whole other week. I may concentrate on getting the plants in and leave things like the tomato cages and screens for over the cabbage until I get help. Dd is really hit hard. She has been “horizontal” since yesterday morning. Aches and pains, fevers and chills, sore throat, and now she says her chest is burning. She said her inhaler was helping.

@sunnycamom, I hope a new month brings a better experience all around. (((((HUGS)))))

Hi everyone! I'm just checking in...thanks for the tag kitbop

There's a whole lot of nothing going on here. We were on vacation for a week in the middle of May which was nice. We saw Maverick on Memorial Day and I loved it. Never has a movie made me so happy. It's bizarre but there ya go.

Work is good. I felt like I was getting caught up was a mirage but I finally arrived and it is glorious.

I've done minimal scrapbooking this quarter but I do have 6 or 7 layouts to point & share plus a 3 day weekend coming up. I hope to carve in some scrappy time. But I am sure my main contribution will be the not-shopping points which will run until the new Vicki Boutin line goes on pre-order at ACOT at which point there will probably be massive points for that purchase. Ha!

@sunnycamom - I am so sorry you're feeling the effects of the formula shortage

Sorry I've been a bit absent recently. I started a temporary, in person, full time job three weeks ago (I've got two weeks left) for the company I previously worked at. I haven't worked at all since March 2020 (unrelated to covid), and haven't worked full time in over 12 years, so I've been very tired lately! My typical bedtime is 10pm but lately I'm lucky to make it to 8pm, lol.   Once I'm done with this assignment (covering for someone on maternity leave) I will transition to a permanent, work from home, part time position with the same company. I signed up for the 2peas Q3 card exchange so I have something to push me back into crafting once I'm done working full time.

I have a handful of layouts from the end of April/beginning of May that still need photos taken for sharing, and then points tallied (easy peasy all the way this month!!).

grammadee I hope your daughter and family are feeling better soon. Covid seems to be on an upswing everywhere right now.

@sunnycamom I hope you're feeling better soon, too!

kitbop Hi!!  

Finally posted some of the pages I put together at ds's while I was there. Still have more to photograph and post, and I don't even want to think about the scoring. But if I do that now for the ones I have completed, maybe I can up the points on ones yet to complete. Have no idea how many challenges I have already met, but I have been racking up the sketches points and bonuses.

Wednesday I get to scrap at the LSS while my car is being worked on for another recall. This morning I found and printed a Pinterest page I want to scraplift for one page, and tonight I cut some pieces for a two-pager I plan to put together there.

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA. I think I posted in here about my mom; she passed away almost 3 weeks ago. So the last month has been absolutely crazy with that (they had nothing planned), end of the school year for my DS(8th) and me(preschool aide) AND my DD graduating from high school. I’m hoping to unearth my crafting desk from everything that’s been dumped on it and get some pages done this summer.

Hi Team...happy Wednesday! How's everyone?

I can't believe the quarter is almost up. I have 3 pages to point and a bunch to photograph and share. I am 99% sure I hit the mega challenge so I'm excited about that. I'm pretty sure I have more points than last quarter which seems crazy because I don't feel like I scrapbooked as much.

This is why I sign up for the challenges and just try my best.  I almost always want to scrapbook but don't always make the time.  The challenges and teams gives me that little push and I am really only "competing" with myself when it comes to points.  


Good for you being so close to the Mega Challenge!!! 

Oooh...I'm in. I somehow missed the thread earlier.

I'm not kitbop, but I think a point per picture will be too much. The points are all for fun and a moment of bragging rights when they're all tallied. There's usually a bonus for using current pictures - maybe double that?

Yeah, it was just a thought... There usually is at least one challenge that includes bonuses for recent photos scrapped. And after my marathon of calculating points this week for Q2, I certainly don't want to add any more WORK to being a team member. It should just be about fun.

Dh and I have been busy combatting weeds in the veggie garden this week, and unless it rains again I don't know how much indoor play time I am going to get. And when I don't scrap for a few days, getting back into it takes a bit more effort. I will need at least one bd card and one anniversary card for the first week in July, so I may finish those this quarter.

Hoping this quarter is winding down smoothly for the Crew. It has been fun playing with you.
