September is shaping up to be a busy month for me so I'm going to try and keep my goals small and achievable
-make and send September and early October birthday cards (4 I think)
- make and send three thank you cards
-order the rest of the August 2024 photos
-finish scrapping August 2024
and hopefully I can finish labelling the digital photos from the 2012 DC trip and order photos...

I need to order May-August 2024 photos. I even already uploaded my camera card to the computer! I just need to make sure I upload the regular camera photos & cell phone photos before ordering online. I know I've said this so many times. So many in the past couple years. But I want to scrapbook again. I'm feeling really, really guilty that I have not kept up with the kids' school albums. I never even finished my now-college student's senior year in h.s. Prom pics? Graduation? Not finished. At least I bought the papers at the time. I have to come to terms that I'm not going to have my own space to scrapbook. But I need to make the time. I'm thinking of trying in the early mornings, before the school shuffle and work. After work I'm just fried and have to do all the kid sport & homework stuff. I'm going to try and keep my goals small and achievable Me too! |

LavenderLayoutLady - I hope you're able to fit scrapping into your schedule. Do you have a bag or container that you can pack with tools, adhesive, and supplies for 1-3 layouts? And then use that during your scrapbook time like you were at a crop? I know you've said you've had to store your supplies.

At least I bought the papers at the time. Just wanted to say I fully understand! (((hugs))) We had some family emergency stuff (extended) around the time of DS's grad, now over 3 years later I realized I never scrapped any of his stuff, there just wasn't time or motivation and then time passed. I really should just make a kit for it and work out of that. Thanks for the idea linda . Goals: Watch (and maybe buy 1) of the SSS Stamptember releases. Clean desk totally off. Find homes for all the crap piled on it. Right now my scrap space is like 6x6. Finish 3 cards I am in process of making. Mail 7 cards. At least pull supplies for 1-2 scrap pages, even if I don't scrap them. |

I do have some stuff in a container, and it was my intention. It's too easy to let the days get away from me. Or to get overwhelmed. But I'm going to try. I really should just make a kit for it and work out of that. Same here! |

I need to order May-August 2024 photos. Just ordered them! Ordered 172 prints. I took 500+ of the garden, plant progress, flowers, etc during that time.....but realized I don't really need to print that many. Feeling pretty good about ordering the whole summer, so that my next order can start fresh on Sept. 1st pics. |

It's been a really busy summer for me because of a big move. I packed up my scrapbooking supplies in the spring and haven't done anything since. Now I finally have my new office ready with a new Epson printer and I'm really excited to get back to scrapbooking. My goal for this month is to work on my PL 2023. I doubt I can finish, since the year had few bigger trips, but I'll try my best!  |

September - December is my favorite time of year & I'm so looking forward to all the fun memories we'll make & photos I'll take! My only scrappy goal for September is to finish up my 2023 Countdown to Christmas album. I have 2 or 3 days left, I think.

My goals:
Participate in Sketch-tember on this board. I'm already behind as I wasn't home or scrapping yesterday.
I'm declaring it Scrap-tember at my desk. I need to use up a whole lot of scraps...
And I would like to finish up a pile of 10-ish layouts that only need journaling or embellishments. I have been really good at not starting a new layout before finishing the last one, but old habits caught up with me this summer.
Update as of September 17th-- have done 11 or 12 of the sketches. Yes, I'm using my scraps when possible. Still working on the pile of layouts but it's getting smaller.

I scrapped quite a bit in August but completely ignored my goals. So my August goals have become my September goals.
My August September goals:
Add journaling to a stack of layouts
Get them into albums
Get caught up on June, July, and August Allison Davis sketches
Edit and order a batch of pictures

I’m in the process of a craft room reorganization. I’ve rearranged all the furniture and found a place/zone for everything. My goals for the month are to go through the supplies more thoroughly and organize & tweak the system…..especially the stamps (put them all in sleeves and label them)
Get some art & pictures on the walls.
Put up all my Halloween decorations inside & out.

My goal for September is to finish my 2023 December Daily album. I made good progress last night and I plan on spending quite a bit of time on it tomorrow. I watched a bunch of Ali's final DD videos yesterday and I am so inspired! I haven't purchased new December Daily products in several years (6 or 7) but I do love this project and I'm excited to start doing it yearly.

Get back into documenting. I've done absolutely nothing so far this year. I have an 18-month Happy Planner headed my way from the US so as soon as my order is here, the plan is to catch up on the blank months so far (July-August and early September).
I would also like to make a couple of greeting cards but if my wrist doesn't allow for watercolours yet, I'll skip this.

Scraps used, yes, but then I made a whole bunch more... At last count there were 7 incomplete layouts still on my desk. So, those will roll right into October as one of my goals. |
