Alright I am in for 10 pocket pages. I am hoping this will give me the motivation I need to get 2022 close to done.
I got adhesive and ink/paper in December so I am going to do a total freeze.
Can I keep track here?

10 pages done today so 1/5 of the way there. I think I'll probably end up making a larger goal than 50 but we'll see

One layout has been completed after a very thorough deep clean of my craft room this past week. Yay!
1/50

I have two more pages of my DD done. It's small, but I've been doing the creative prompts from sleepingbooty and I am slow!
48 to go

So far I've completed 2 PL double spreads and printed photos/placed them in page protectors for 6 more weeks. I've also did a little mixed media/art journal page in my album. Sometimes I just do a page or 2 in there to just play with products. Sometimes it boosts creativity sometimes it doesn't lol!

I went shopping early in January with Christmas money and gc's, but other than a bit of Luna Paste and one sheet of cs, I haven't used any new stuff in the 9 pages I put together so far this month.
I am broke after Christmas, and Heaven knows I could put together another 100 pages using just the stuff LYING AROUND in here, let alone the stuff tucked away in drawers and bins. But although I don't have a OLW for 2023, I want to be kind to myself, so I won't jump on the train this year.
Good luck to you all.

I had a Michaels reward certificate for $5 and we're only near a Michaels once a month (which was today) and the cert. would have expired before our February trip so...I bought adhesive - only spent under $2 after using the reward and didn't buy anything else. Another win imo

I only made it 8 days in and failed.  There was a sale at Paper Person shop and since I'm a subscriber I got an additional 23% off and couldn't help myself. I did keep the purchase under $20 so I feel that was a win. Wiping the slate clean again and starting today I haven't bought anything.  |

I've decided we should get to count cleaning up your space as a layout.  I just put away my tiny amount of Christmas decor away today and I have a 12x12 space to scrap on my kitchen table.  |

4/50.
5/50
6/50, 7/50
I used up almost all of my MME Sweetest Thing kit from 2012. I think I am going to use the rest on Valentines. Woot!
I did get a birthday present from scrapbook.com, but it was a gift, so I don't feel too bad about that.

I have not bought anything in January despite some decent clearance sales, but I did have supplies that I bought on Boxing Day arrive in January. I haven't made any pages yet, though. This weekend I'll work on my 2022 PL and get that finished. So, I'm not making progress with actually making stuff but I have managed to not spend. I definitely need a paper tracker to fill out to remind myself - if I don't see it I don't think about it.

I'm half-way there. I did buy albums the other day but I used a gift card AND I consider those basics like adhesive or page protectors so they don't count.

I've completed 6 more weeks of PL spreads, printed out photos for 2 more and promptly ran out of photo paper 😆 so I had to order more. My total is up to 10 double page spreads and 1 mixed media page so far.

I’m up to 12 LOs for the month! My goal for the month was 13, so pretty happy to be near that and only halfway through the month!

I feel like I’m doing more of a 50 purchases before a layout challenge—and I’m doing great!
Hopefully I can make an actual layout soon!

I'm so close...but I'm thinking of re-setting and doing another 50...before shopping. I don't have anything really calling my name right now and I haven't made a dent in what I already own - I think the only thing I used up was a trimmer blade and a pack of adhesive.
I have been diving deep into my stash and used some things I've had for a long time - my most recent layout about DD16's new glasses - I'm pretty sure the paper and stickers were both at least as old as her and quite possibly older - they were bought when DD22 got glasses at 4 or 5, I think. (now ask me if I've scrapped those pictures? I honestly don't know)

I don't have anything really calling my name right now and I haven't made a dent in what I already own I'm kind of hoping that when I get closer to my 50 layouts I'll feel this way, and if I do I'm going to extend my target. Of course, I've only completed three or four layouts so it will be a while before I get to this point. |

Also going to add in my Valentine's Day cards for the swap and days class.
I need I think 22 for the swap and 21 for ds' class (kids, teacher, paras).

I counted my layouts for the month and I’m at 18. And yes I’m counting a page in my mini album as a spread. I did only a couple of those. I’m not shopping necessarily at 50 but I am trying to keep better track. I also made a kit and am counting my progress towards using that. So far I still have a ton of kit leftover this month. I may have made it too big.

Well I just made a small unnecessary purchase, but I'm justifying it because it was a Martha Stewart punch that has been on my wish list for a long time, and I just found one in a craft destash group for $5. So I've reset my layouts back to 50 and I'll start again.

Chinagirl828 - sounds like a worthwhile purchase though! - and that you considered it thoughtfully rather than buying on impulse

I so badly want to purchase something from Peachy Cheap today. Do I need it? No. But am I a bit stressed and ready for some retail therapy? Yes.
But I shall try and remain strong! I am currently at 4/50 layouts completed.

I just put away my tiny amount of Christmas decor away today and I have a 12x12 space to scrap on my kitchen table.
