Here's your chance to set goals for yourself or share your plans for the month - and to come back and brag about accomplishments and progress or to ask for encouragement if the month isn't going as planned

I'm hoping to finish up March 2013 and then switch gears and work on my trip album from last Fall. I also want to continue to keep current on 2023 in both the family album and my adult kids' album.

By the end of this next week, I hope to have all the pages pulled and packed up for my dgd's grad scrapbooks, and all of them at the printers. I also need to purchase albums and page protectors to house the printed pages.
Oh, and I am registered for Scrapbook & Cards Today Crop & Create, so hope to get at least SOME of the cards from those classes finished. At least learn some new techniques.
Otherwise, just want to keep up the momentum from 28-4-28, and get more photos onto pages. |

I actually finished my 2022 PL last month! I am trying to get caught up on 2023--by the end of the month, I'd like to have printed out the pictures for Jan-March, picked out the journaling cards, dated the weeks, and gotten everything into the right weeks in the scrapbook.

Another month! I can't believe it! I actually changed my visit to my mom to make sure I could make a mid month day crop. This weekend I have a crop Fri afternoon and Sat. I have two projects to complete this month. One is to finish my granddaughters' joint birthday party. Lots of family was there so I have lots of photos I want scrap for them. I'm about half done.
Then I would like to finish Christmas/December for both girls and my two sons. I still do a bit of scrapping for them.
That is quite ambitious really. I did Christmas at a 4 day retreat and got about half done, maybe a bit more. So I will see how far I get after the mid month crop. That is IF I can keep focused!
In the mean time I keep taking so many photos ever day and I try to keep them organized in albums but they keep getting away from me. I have an unknown number of albums filled with nothing but photos in page protectors. Still I need to keep up with this or I will soon lose any semblance of chronology.

February started off strong but I lost momentum about half way through the month. Life is a lot right now, so I'm trying to stay focused on the organizing/declutter type activities more than the purely creative ones for the most part.
For March I would like to:
*Create 4 layouts
*Take note of things to use in a monthly/digest type layout (March)
*Print photos of February "month in review" and get scrapped
*Continue to organize die cut felt into a "filing" system
*Edit/purge glitters (done!)
*Edit/purge beads/charms
*Edit/purge foil quill supplies
*Edit/purge embossing powders
*Edit/purge mixed media
*Edit/purge watercolor supplies
*Edit/purge mini album supplies
*Edit/purge hot foil plates/supplies

My goals for this month include:
1. Backup my photos.
2. Scrapbook layouts from Valentine's Day.
3. Continue working on the 50 layout challenge. I currently have 20 pages completed, with another halfway done.
I have to make decorations for a baby shower this month, so I am keeping my scrappy goals simple.

My main March goal is to finish the 11 or 12 28-4-28 challenges I didn't get to in February.
My two high schoolers are on a school trip right now (without me) and I'd like to print the photos and scrap the trip when they get back before they forget everything. Since I'm not there they're going to have to help with the journaling... and if the photos are a bunch of silly face selfies or photos of their shoes, I am going to disown them. Just kidding. Kind of. I can only remind them to take photos of everything like I do, so many times per day.
Keeping it simple this month...

I just finished my Disney album from 2006 (yeah!!) so I decided my next project will be much closer to current time. I'm going to start on an album from a trip in 2019. I've already created a folder with all my pictures from the trip in there. I just need to print and go. In March I would like to have at least 15 layouts of the trip done and in page protectors. If I can get a weekend freed up then I should be able to do more. We'll see!

February was a very busy month so I didn't accomplish very much, but I am hopeful March will be better: - Finish prepping layouts for my crop next weekend (woo hoo!);
- Complete my monthly sketch challenge layout; and
- Complete six layouts to keep me on target for my goal of 48 layouts this year.
I really want to make it to the crop without taking everything but the kitchen sink so I will need to focus this weekend to make sure that I have everything planned and packed according (mixed media done, cut files cut, photos printed, etc.). With the dedicated crop time I'm sure I'll be able to hit the six layouts and I could definitely use the scrap therapy.

My DH and I have torn apart 1/2 of my scrap room and he painted two walls last weekend. We are working on moving out the rest of the stuff and he’ll paint the other two walls this weekend. He’s going to Ikea to pick up the couple of pieces I want to change the room. Holy crap, Ikea has a ton of items out of stock. Fortunately I snagged everything I need today.
In the meantime, I am editing photos and can print if I want. I guess my goal would be to print my 2023 pictures. Hopefully, my room will be back together in a couple of weeks.

My goals this month:
* continue working on 28-4-28 challenges, I'd like to finish at least 4 more of them
* back up my photos (since I didn't get around to it during Feb)
* start the task of organising my stash. I have random stuff shoved in a box from when I cleaned off my desk to do DD, and I've added stuff to it instead of putting things away. I also think I need to purge (looking at you sprays/mists) so I'd like to start that this month as well.
Editing to add one more:
* continue using up alphas that only have one or two usable words left on them

•complete some more page kits that I had prepped for We Create 2022 (at a crop I’m going to)
•print/assemble 2023 desk calendars x2
•2022 year in review LO w calendar photos
•complete some SCT or Pinkfresh class projects
•complete 13 pages total
•spending Frost for February-April (until CKC)

•transfer and back up phone photos, then delete from phone
Here’s hoping for a productive month!

I've made some progress this month:
* continue working on 28-4-28 challenges, I'd like to finish at least 4 more of them Done!
* back up my photos (since I didn't get around to it during Feb)
* start the task of organising my stash. I have random stuff shoved in a box from when I cleaned off my desk to do DD, and I've added stuff to it instead of putting things away. I also think I need to purge (looking at you sprays/mists) so I'd like to start that this month as well. I've started this and made some really good progress on the first weekend, but very little since. I ended up writing a list of all the areas I want to tackle, so if I have some time but am not feeling the scrappy mojo I can go back to my list and pick an area to work on.

I'm very happy that I was able to get six layouts done so far this month, and I have the bulk of the challenge layout I need to complete finished as well. My next task will be to get everything unpacked, layouts in albums and get sorted to scrap at home again.

I am still current in my memory planner! I’m making very slow but real progress on finishing organizing my new studio.
What I need is a separate place to do my work when I work from home & a place for mail & stuff I’m tired of it being on my desk

A new update:
1. Backup my photos. Nope.
2. Scrapbook layouts from Valentine's Day. I have completed 3 of the 4 planned layouts for this event.
3. Continue working on the 50 layout challenge. I currently have 20 pages completed, with another halfway done. My current count is at 24/50.
The time I spent in my craft room yesterday was for deep cleaning. But I did pull out another rocket launch layout to work on, now that my acrylic title has arrived. 😊

I have at least pried the children's phones out of their hands and downloaded the photos to the computer (and they definitely did not take enough photos, so I used the group album to get more) and now I need to print them all... |

March is coming to a close - so please head over to the April thread to post your new goals. How has everyone done in March?
My goals were:
"I'm hoping to finish up March 2013 and then switch gears and work on my trip album from last Fall. I also want to continue to keep current on 2023 in both the family album and my adult kids' album."
I got March 2013 DONE
My trip album - I got my travel day and the first eight days of the trip done. Six more plus another travel day left to do.
2023 is current through March 8th in both our family and adult kids' album. Photos from March 9 - 26th arrived today

I also used up one more alpha this week, a Rose Moka set. I have two more on my desk, and I'm enjoying the sense of accomplishment that comes from getting these nearly finished sets out of my stash so I'm going to carry this forward into April as well. I've also done a little more work on organising my stash, although not as much as I had hoped as I got distracted by the treasures I found and started making pages with them instead. It's still a win, but this is also something I'm going to carry into April. |

I was only able to be productive the first two weeks. I decided not to do much purging, and packed instead. I think I got 16 boxes packed of craft room supplies. I’m hoping April will be better. |
