March 2023 goals/plans/progress/accomplishments

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.


Otherwise, just want to keep up the momentum from 28-4-28, and get more photos onto pages.

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.

For March I need to catch up on my memory planner. I think I have all of feb to do. I also would like to complete one everyday explorers mini album.

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.

Upload pictures from my phone to pc
Edit and order pictures
Stay on top of journaling
Dust off my dslr and get back into the groove

Start and complete my 2022 December Daily. I don't know why I have been putting it off.

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.

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

So I was able to finish my granddaughters birthday photos. Oh my goodness. So many pages!

Last weekend I went back to working on Christmas. Might finish that by next year haha!

That's all my crops for March.

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 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. 😊

March was a doozy. 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.
