In the meantime I've found another task that I need to work on: organize and throw out old spices & seasonings. Last night while fixing supper I needed sage and realized that mine had expired 3 yrs ago. So I'll be rooting through that stuff and making a list of those that need replacing. (I'll bet my beaumonde is older than 3 yrs.  ) I just did that a few days ago! I read an article about how the germiest part of the kitchen are the spice jars, and I promptly moved that task to the top of my to do list, ha! Felt good to reorganize that cabinet though. Next up in the kitchen, all of the utensils. |

So I’m done organizing.
Guess it’s time to make some pages.
Do I have the mojo?

I read somewhere that Stickles are water-based and you can rescue old ones by adding a little water.

OMG FINISH MY DD. 😵💫
I said this last weekend, but didn’t manage to do a single thing. I really mean it this time. 🫠 So close. It’s the final few pages. Got to wrap it up so I can pack up the supplies. I haven’t allowed myself to start any other projects before wrapping this up, and I’m getting antsy.

Work has been all consuming of my energy this week, setting small goals for the weekend: 1. Send my college girl a January mom note - it’s like a pocket letter only themed for her with little instax pics and usually a gift card or 2. 2. Move ikea desk hutch from garage into my new little craft room upstairs. My college girl used it in th3 dorm and it’s collecting dust. I got an ikea desk for Christmas for my storage/ non scrapbooking craft room and want to set it up in there so it gets used. 3. Finish a PL for 2022 or 2023. My motivation is already waning…. Update: 1 and 2 are done! I’m enjoying this thread and feeling motivated. I’ve got some other household stuff to get done but definitely going to work on #3 today! |

I'm going through photos of Disney trips.
The first 3 times we went, my daughter was young enough to wear princess dresses so we got in early with breakfast reservations (RIP breakfast at the Beast's castle for really not a bad price, comparatively).
We did mini photo shoots in front of the castle. Like just her cause no one else was there yet. Magic. Freaking magic.
I want to have one of each printed onto canvas but I cannot choose. I've narrowed it down to 5 of snow white, 5 of cinderella, and 3 of belle.
It is hard. But that is my mini goal.
The mojo for scrapping has not arrived.

Ohh Disney photos, I know exactly what you mean, blemon! So many magical moments captured, so little time to properly document it all in some form or another. As for making the final photo decisions, is your daughter old enough now to help pick out which is her favorite from the few you have selected? Sometimes when I can't make a decision about a title or which photo to use, I like to have someone else help. It is always fun to hear why they chose one picture over another, too. And hopefully your mojo comes back soon! |

Beautiful Disney photos blemon. They deserve to be on special display. Update on my weekend task: Stickles - out of 26 botttles, only 1 was unusable. Amazing since I probably haven't used these in over 5 yrs. And thank you Shakti for the hint about adding water. Spices - I would say that I've thrown out about half of my spices & seasonings. This is going to get expensive replacing them! Yes sarahsprettypapers, it felt good to clean those out. |

This is going to get expensive replacing them! Do you have a local co-op or market? Ours folded with covid but had been around since the 70s. They used to sell bulk spices. So you could just get a couple of tablespoons of each of what you need to refill the jars you have. So much cheaper as you're mostly paying for packaging. And thanks for the comments on the photos. I emailed Walgreens to ask about the frames and will order soon. |

These are wonderful. I love the middle one especially! Didn’t we have a Disney board here? I spent awhile trying to find it with no success. |

I got the pocket pages filled through December, the bookplate labeled. Not every story is written out and some cards lack details, but I need to call it good enough. Feeling really happy! |

I have done 30 pages in the last 29 days. Woot. When I finish a layout, I always set out the next one and then leave it on my desk. I ask myself if I can get it done at a page a day. Yup. The next 8 pages are sketches and I just need to cut out some dies and I'll be good. The last two pages I did had more than 50 hexagons each, so those took a bit more time.

Well I was able to scrap a page, so a decent amount of cleaning, purging and organizing and I made 3 cards.
Not bad for a busy weekend.

I finally made a page! I did the intro to the Epcot stories in my Disney album. And I got out the photos for the first layout. Like 950nancy I feel like it helps to know what's coming next before I put the stuff away for the day. |

blemon, thanks for the advice about the co-op. I don't think we have anything like that around here but I'll be replacing my spices a few at a time. :)I bought some of the most used ones yesterday, around $40. For the ones that I need the bigger containers I'll probably get those at Sam's. It did feel good to sort those out. To continue on this "let's get stuff done" energy, I'm working on sorting out my stamping supplies (not used very often) and trying to figure out a good way to store my new obsession with Distress Oxide inks. This has been a great thread to get us motivated.

I'll be replacing my spices a few at a time I tend to check the spices when I do my menu plan and grocery list - and buy anything I need that I don't already have. That way I'm not buying until they are needed. I have pretty good turnover on spices and haven't had to toss many for getting too old. "lets get stuff done" = I did pick up a storage box for my ink daubers and get those in and sorted. I'm scrapping Christmas/December at the moment and I've told myself that once it's done, I need to take a serious look at my supplies, pitch/donate what will not get used, and make a sensible plan for what to replenish with. I currently have a lot of supplies but not a lot that works together...lots of remnants of pads and colletions. I didn't buy anything new Christmas in a while. |

My Saturdays for the foreseeable future are booked with family plans. So I am hoping to sneak into my craft room tomorrow and work on a rocket launch page or two.

This weekend hasn't given me much time to work on my mini-goals but I'm hoping to devote some time this afternoon to pulling all my stamping supplies out and start sorting and figuring out a better way to store what I have. The newly acquired Distress Oxide inks are proving to be a storage challenge.

so ...I did a little organising last night and this morning.
Cleaned up my scraps envelopes - tossed some too small scraps
Went through my theme envelopes - purged some stuff I won't use - mostly partial sticker sheets - and LABELLED the envelopes so it's easier for me to flip through and find the right theme.
And did some general tidying of my Kallax
There's more to do...there always is

My goal for this weekend is to photograph my most recent layouts. I need to start posting to my Instagram again.
I also hope create another rocket launch layout (attempts #1 & #2 are done, just need to scrap the final and successful launch now!).

My photo's are ready (picking up in a few minutes). I know it won't finish the page (2 page spread) but I will get a nice start.
I messed up a layout I had done previously (ink stained fingers smudged the photo, paper, etc) so I had a place an order for product. It won't be here this weekend, but next weekend I should be able to repair that one and finish the one I start this weekend. Looking forward to playing with paper!

I messed up a layout I had done previously (ink stained fingers smudged the photo, paper, etc) that sucks. I hate messing up photos. I feel like it's such a waste. I have some sewing to do this weekend so I'm not sure I'll have time to scrap. That's a good goal to take photos. If we get some sun, I will do that. I stopped at some point in my disney scrapping and I have done a lot since then. |
