I'm pretty sure I've got Scrappy ADD...

You aren't the only one. I got on a kick of wanting to get caught up on my ongoing birthday album for my kids. I scrapped a few pages and now I'm bored and NOT caught up.

I'm now in a Halloween mood, with a lingering feeling of working on the Family Album since I'm 2 years behind.

I scrapbook pretty randomly, too. But, I do albums for a big vacation, like Alaska, all at once. I make a push to complete it all before starting anything else.

I also break up things where I know I will have multiple layouts, like Christmas. I am trying to reduce how many photos I scrap for holidays. I pick a couple for each thing I want to capture - like baking cookies - and then scrapbook that. Otherwise I am completely overwhelmed thinking about all the Christmas photos I have to scrapbook.

This is me in my life for the most part. As a result, I made it a point to not do that with my scrappy stuff for a while. That's why I kept going in order for my 2014 PL album worried that if I moved on, it would never get finished. But now that it's done, I do like to jump around a bit.

It's natural to want to jump around, especially if you want a photo or event to inspire you. Maybe you can alternate a bit and not get bored?

I think that you may be experiencing a bit of guilt and that is clearly contributing to your paralysis and your non-finishing of projects.
Have you tried to scrap one layout/spread for a couple of unfinished albums a week? You can commit to a couple of them and keep working on them one hour/scrap session a week or have a rotation system, doesn't matter. It will allow you to bring the fun of new scrap products to these albums as they are released without feeling "stuck" in a certain product line, mindset and not harbouring these negative feelings of guilt and/or shame.

Just find a way that allows you to feel like you're moving forward AND keeps enough free time for you to start on new projects too. This is your hobby, treat it like a passion: fuel it with what makes you smile and happy. There is no need to finish in one go one project. You can butterfly in between all these albums. Just find a system that at the very least semi-works for you and allows you to make some progress.

And above all, enjoy it! Don't be afraid to start a new album for a new project because you haven't finished others. It's ok.

I'm all over the place these days. I think mine is because I don't always have everything I need to work on a project, like what size album will it be in. If I don't have the albums picked out how do I know what size to scrapbook. So today I went and purchased the albums to start even more projects.

I have a box (not Iris, but does the same job) for each project with the kit, the right size page protectors, pictures, etc in it. That way I can scrapbook exactly what I WANT to work on. My last completed project was eight 12x12 albums for my husbands siblings and Dad for Christmas. They lost their mother suddenly a year ago tomorrow and many tears were shed over those albums...all 496 pages of them. After taking three months to complete, I've bounced around ever since. I really hope to turn things back around and start completing my many projects!

I can totally relate.

I saw a German scrapbooker who made a scrapbook about all of her unfinished project. She wrote everything on a list and tried to work on one/two or more each month. After finishing the project, she took a photo and put it in a smashbook. She had enough time to work on new stuff as well.

Just let it ride.

You are blessed with lots of things to scrap about. Be happy about it, not stressed about it.

And it's okay if you dabble in one project, then dabble in another without finishing one straight through.

My only suggestion would be to keep each project's materials separate. I like to use a 2 gallon ziplock bag for each project. Then all paper, embellies, etc can be slipped in and put up on a shelf easily enough.

I hear ya!  I LOVE starting projects with all the possibilities and ideas popping in my head.  I buy papers and supplies before I even have the experience because I KNOW I will love scrapping about it!

I love working on projects when all those possibilities are still out there.  I get out all the photos and all my pretties and sift through it all and away I go.

I HATE finishing projects.  I always have more I want to put into the album--more pages, more photos, more page designs.  And at some point the energy and creativity run out.  It all starts to be,...well,...boring.  Or frustrating, because I have created such a mess I can't find anything, or I am no longer sure if I printed a particular photo or set of photos that I [need] for a particular page.  Or time consuming because I made it a huge job when it didn't have to be and there are other things going on in my life, I have other photos screaming to be scrapped:  this is becoming WORK...

I get the most joy out of this hobby when I am scrapping what is on top of my mind and on top of my table, a page at a time, loving the process and loving the memories.

Don't let guilt take over, @charliegirl .  Scrap what you want to scrap right now.  Play.  This is a hobby, not a job.  And my motto in this, as in life is  "Don't SHOULD on yourself!"
