February 2023 Goals/plans/progress/accomplishments

In February, I hope to:

1. Backup all of my photos.

2. Create the next batch of rocket launch pages.

3. Deep clean the cart which holds my printer, cricut, and other small machines like that.

4. Continue on with the scrappy challenge of creating 50 layouts before purchasing anything. I am currently at 9/50.

I have about 3 days of crops and a 3 day retreat.  My goal is to finish up New Years 2022 and Christmas 2022 at the day crops, and my dgds birthdays and parties at the retreat.

The reality is likely a bit less ambitious and I will probably have 3 'almost done' projects.

January was pretty good.  I got a good amount of Christmas and New Years done as above. 

I ordered more Mintay Time of Wonders so I hope it inspires me to crank out those remaining Christmas pages. 

I’m aiming to finish PL 2022 this month. I’m completely done up to halfway through August and then the rest of the year is in various stages of completion. Some spreads just need journaling, some only have pictures in pockets. Posting here to hold myself accountable!

1. PL 2023 January
2. OLW Feb prompt
3. Finish Linda’s plan prep play class
4. Select and complete a create/fun/play project for experimenting. TBD on what this is, but I need it to be low pressure.

I feel good about what I was able to get done in January and have a growing list of things I'd like to do before summer arrives. Similar to last month, my goal isn't to finish all these in February, but to choose things to do only from this list:


*Create 8 layouts (4 completed)
*2023 OLW project (January and February prompts) Taking this off my plate for 2023
*Take note of things to use in a monthly digest type layout (done!)
*Print photos of January "month in review" and get scrapped (done!)
*Organize die cut felt into a "filing" system (in progress)
*Edit/purge glitter box
*Edit/purge beads/charms
*Print/adhere labels for ink pads
*Create swatch book for ink pads
*complete homework for Pinkfresh event before Friday, February 24th (done!)

I did a ton at my recent retreat but I do have a couple of things I want to do for Feb:

-Complete journaling for the layouts I did at the retreat (including layouts from the July 2022 retreat as well) - this is a lot so not sure how far I'll get..

-I'm doing the Pinkfresh event 2/25-26 so my goal is to complete all the cards that weekend of the event

Thanks Linda! I will check it out!

My update so far:

1. Backup all of my photos.
I am still gathering photos from all of the random devices.

2. Create the next batch of rocket launch pages.
Done! Hoping to make some more this weekend.

3. Deep clean the cart which holds my printer, cricut, and other small machines like that.
Haven't been in a deep cleaning mood. Maybe next weekend.

4. Continue on with the scrappy challenge of creating 50 layouts before purchasing anything. I am currently at 9/50.
I am up to 13/50 now.

I'm still plugging along with my 120 pages in 120 days. Currently about 3 days behind, but I am in the process of getting 8 pages done by this weekend. I have a white water rafting trip, but we only got one photo. We had to leave our phones behind (and thank God we did). five of us ended up thrown out of the boat (some of us were plunged into darkness) while one person ended up in the boat in the cyclone of death with the guide for a good ten minutes trying to get out of the rapids. I found some pictures online of groups having a good time and others that ended up like us. I am going to do a two page layout of EXPECTATIONS on the left side and REALITY on the other. Just thinking about the whole thing makes me laugh.
