A new month means a new list of goals and a new opportunity to make progress and accomplish stuff. What's YOUR plan for November?

I had a pretty successful October despite it being a really busy month. November should be a little quieter although we are going out of town for Thanksgiving.
Goals:
-finish up 1970-1975 photo labelling and organising
-finish the 2009 family album - Jun-Dec left to work on (some of that is done) - this one might be a bit ambitious
-Thanksgiving cards
nonSBR goals
-finish sewing my skirt
-sew St Nick bags
-alter DD23's trousers

Hoping to work on my high school kids' trip to Disney from last March(I know I have been saying that for months...) but am procrastinating because 1) I wasn't there, and 2) I'm not sure how to scrap the trip. They did not just go to Disney, they also went to Knott's Berry Farm and Universal (lots of Cars, Star Wars, and Harry Potter) and a bunch of the photos are of band/orchestra performances... nothing is cohesive.
While I'm avoiding the Southern California trip, I will probably be working on October Daily once I order photos.
Nothing too exciting...

Can you do chapters? Like a chapter for Disney and a chapter for preformances and a chapter for Knotts etc...have each chapter be cohesive within itself and maybe have common elements for the pages dividing the chapters that'll tie the album together? |

I should finally have wedding photos!  I'm planning on creating a super simple photos & captions only coffee table book of the best photos and then also creating a separate traditional scrapbook with all the stories & feelings & words. I will finish the coffee table book & create our Christmas card this year with a wedding photo by December 1. The traditional scrapbook will be worked on as time permits like the rest of my albums although I will probably write down a bunch of journaling and save it in a Notepad file so I don't forget anything. I'm also working on scrapping our Fall Break trip; it's halfway done at the moment. I have to have 20 pages to have it printed as a softcover 8x8 Shutterfly album so when I get up to that page number, I'll be done.  |

We're doing our final Saturday trip to Philadelphia this weekend, so once that's concluded, I will start working on that scrapbook.
I am debating if I want to do little captions for some of the pictures. We did a handful of museums on our trips so far, so I'm conflicted as to whether or not I should do captions for pictures. Ex., "sarcophagus lid," "water goddess," etc.

I have 3 weeks of project life for 2021 and 2 days of December daily for 2022 left. I would really like to complete them.
I also am working on a thankful mini album. I started it last month and it’s almost done so I would like to complete that.
I only made it to day 16 of October daily and would like to work on that a tiny bit through the month alongside December daily prep.

It's been a few months since I've contributed to this thread, but I feel settled enough after a big move to join in again. For November I want to: - stuff & mail out a christmas countdown for my bff. I've been picking up things for it all year & have envelopes for most items. I need to assess where things stand with that project and get it ready to mail in time for her birthday (Thanksgiving week).
- set up a christmas crafting station at my scrapping desk. I was able to empty out two stadium organizers to hold all the bits and pieces to pull from for making cards. And that leads me to...
- make christmas cards! between 2peas swaps and friends/family I think I will need 80-90 cards this year. I love creating for christmas so I'm SO excited to finally get started on this.
- make envelopes for christmas cards. I love sending handmade cards in handmade envelopes.

I didn't set any goals for Oct, and am still missing some mojo so my goals for Nov are:
* print photos for PL album for Aug, Sept, and Oct
* make or buy Christmas cards for the swap here

Hmmm... what to accomplish in November, good question.
1. Reorganize my craft room (again). I am moving furniture around the house and making room for the Christmas tree.
2. Make at least 5 layouts.
3. I am going to try and post to Instagram every Monday, Wednesday and Friday this month. *Try* being the keyword here. 😉

The last few months I have got very little done. My goal this month is to scrapbook 15 - 30 minutes everyday. I printed out a habit tracker and got to use my pretty markers/highlighters. I'm not going to list my list of tasks here. I will track how many days I work and total pages done.

My goals for this month are to find my pictures for 2023 (up to November 1st), edit, print, separate by pages (for 3 different books), put in baggies with sketch possibilities, find paper and embellishments and start scrapping. I am up to picking the sketches (about 25 out of 30 finished) and then I'll start picking papers.

I squeaked out 20 pages so I can have our Fall Break trip album printed soon.
I also put together the coffee table book of our wedding photos. I am going to sprinkle our vows throughout the book, and then it will be done. It'll be over $100 to have that printed at Shutterfly so I'll wait for their unlimited pages sale early next year.

Finish October Daily and prep for December Daily. I plan to spend just 1 full day on DD, so mainly I want to wrap up the October project.

A little late for monthly goals, but the post I had typed up early on didn't get posted I guess. My plans for November:
Complete family calendar for 2024. (did cover page yesterday; just need to add a title to one month's page. Plan to drop off @ printers on Wednesday)
Finish all Christmas cards I need. (55 done. 45 to go. Cardmaking with friends today)
Do Christmas baking. (have not started, but have purchased most of my supplies)

I did better than I thought I might:
* print photos for PL album for Aug, Sept, and Oct Aug and Oct printed. I forgot we did the Friends experience in Sept so I have approximately eleventy million photos to sort through
* make or buy Christmas cards for the swap here I made all my cards and I got them mostly addressed and posted. The last few were finished yesterday and will go in the mail this weekend.

So apparently it is December now. That was quick! Here is my update:
1. Reorganize my craft room (again). I am moving furniture around the house and making room for the Christmas tree. Done and loving the new arrangement!
2. Make at least 5 layouts. One layout completed last month, however I still did a lot of crafting. I have been in full Christmas mode and making garlands, wrapping gifts, decorating the house, etc.
3. I am going to try and post to Instagram every Monday, Wednesday and Friday this month. *Try* being the keyword here. 😉 I succeeded for I think 2 weeks there. I tried!
