I thought I had already posted on this thread. I had not. I have 8 cards I need to make for January and February events. 1 left to make for scrappy friendI completed 4 full ones on weekend. And I need about 10 -15 mins to complete 2 more. Glossy accents was drying. One of the remaining cards I will just recreate one I have previously made. Should take all of 10 mins. One layer stamping. Its a masculine card. DONE!!!Last card is for a fellow crafter. I have ideas of grandeur for it. Its going to take a while I think. I am waiting on 2 orders of dies that is in mail to arrive before I start it. It doesn't have to be mailed until Feb 11th so I have some time. Working on it this weekend.I still need to work on my room. I'm hoping this coming weekend I can make a huge dent in it on Sunday. Haven't even started actually I think I have made it worse!I did realize this weekend while making birthday cards..I really lack in Happy Birthday stamps. They are all so small. I may need to look into a couple sets. Found and purchased a Simon Says stamp. It has arrived and I have used itI also realized I have no heart dies... fixed that. I have ordered some!
I am going to a friends house on Sunday for a mini gathering for about 6 or 7 hours. I am recreating one of my previously made cards. I would like to make 4 of them. that will get me into my March and April need to make card list. I need to work on my scrappy friends card. I have the idea but it will take some time. I am going to start on the reproduction cards first get them done as they are simple. Then get going on the more challenging card.

I finished editing and uploading ALL of the 2016 pictures that I will scrap. Not all of my 2016 pictures - just the ones I'll scrap. It was quite a task. I think one of my goals was to do four more layouts by the end of the month. I have a busy weekend coming up so maybe I can get to those on Monday/Tuesday. How are all of you doing on this month's goals? We have five days left. No pressure, though. I see scrappington has done well with her goals.

I feel like this page needs something but Im not sure what. I tried to add some snowflakes that looked like they were falling and it looked bad. Any ideas? SaveDoesn't need a thing but because I'm me and tend to over place product, I'd be putting some enamel dots or snowflakes in the lower right in the space above the journalling space. I think it looks perfect the way it is! Very cute!!

In the last few days I've had at home due to being sick and unable to work I've finished 7 pages in my vacation album and made a Valentines card.

I wanted to get back into scrapping, and I definitely have--up to my elbows, if you measure the piles of scrapping supplies on my scrap counter!
I am tracking my 2017 progress in my status bar, which so far is my January progress, so I am pretty happy. I have one more card to finish before I add it to the total.
Thanks for all the inspiration, Ladies! Are we doing this again in February? I still have lots of photos, lots of scrappy supplies, and just got an order of glue refills, so I am all set!

I have two goals for this month: I want to finish my Dec daily (done through to the 17th) and my 2016 PL (done through to the start of Nov I think). I finished my DD quite early in the month and have printed the photos for my PL through to the end of Nov but that's it. I was itching to get back to 12x12 pages so even though I haven't achieved what I set out to do I have completed more than I expected.

Hello everyone...good to see everyone's plans! I'm going to continue working on my December Documented. I'm still waiting for a large photo order, but I've picked the paper for each of the pages I do have pictures for. I've also completed the first four pages except for sewing. When my Amazon prime pictures arrive, there are more December Documented pictures to load. Also pictures for an entire year in review project life project to load. It's a single 6x8 album with all the cards I loaded in the album last December and haven't worked on much. Also DD19 and I haven't loaded her college albums with pictures yet. She goes back on the 16th...need to get that accomplished! That is what I have planned so far. Still need to make my list of projects in progress or planned. I'm sure you all will give me plenty of ideas for more projects! While going back over my January goals, I thought I would be failing miserably at them. What I realized is that it's the December Documented that is not going to get finished this month, but my picture goals I did pretty good on. DS30 had surgery tonight, unexpectedly, so I'm pretty sure I won't get much farther in the DD this month. The surgeon said after he goes home in a few days that he'll need home healthcare...that might be me! So I'll probably just be fussy cutting in my free, but exhausted time! That's ok. The DD will be there when I have time.

Good work everyone! Some of you got some serious scrapping done.
I'm happy with what I've done so far this month. My goal was to catch up on my daily walks album and that's done. Other than that I said I'd just be happy to have had some time to play which I did. I think I only did two 1 page layouts but they were special ones and I was very happy with how they turned out.
There's still one more weekend to go too! Maybe I'll be able to get a bit more done.

Thanks grammadee! I know he's on some kind of pain killers, but he's in a really fun mood...lol. Getting ready to go back up there after a bit of sleep.

@nancydrew, I'm usually a slug when I'm sick so I'm impressed that you've been so productive. grammadee, judging by your status bar, you've been busy! Great job! Chinagirl828, I know what you mean about switching sizes. I'm doing 8.5x11 layouts right now and I want to get back to my 12x12 album. I've been loving that size lately. iheartpaper, I hope your son's recovery is going well. It must be so comforting to him to have you as his caregiver.

I think I am going to set what should be an easy/stress free goal of 3 layouts per month for this year. I have two done for this month and should have time to complete a third this weekend.

Another one adding "finish December Daily" to the January goals list. I'm only through Day 7 so there's lots left to do. I set up one Raskog cart with all my supplies and will keep it that way until I finish. Maybe the fact that I'd really like that cart for something else will keep me moving forward. I have a lot of cards to make this month - Valentine cards for the Caring Hearts card drive and kids birthday and thank you cards for Ronald McDonald House. Just thought I'd update as we go into the last weekend of the month. December Daily - haven't touched it. Haven't even looked in its direction. Valentine Cards - done and mailed this week. Only got 66 done. Thank you cards for Ronald McDonald house - in process. Hope to have 20 ready to mail on Tuesday. Kids birthday cards for Ronald McDonald house - these are not due until February so I haven't started on these yet. My card stash is down to almost nothing. With the thank you and birthday cards planned, I hope to replenish my stash for future months.

I think I was updating a different thread, but if this one is going to be monthly then I will start recording here. Completed 3 layouts today, which takes my total to 15 for January. I am working with an old kit club kit, but pulled in some stash today since I was running out of embellishments.

Valentine Cards - done and mailed this week. Only got 66 done. You say that like 66 cards is an insignificant no. In addition to everything else you've accomplished this month I think it's very impressive.

I've been scrapping today, and I'll have most of tomorrow to meet my goal. I want to finish up 2016, and it's almost possible for me to do it. I'm not going to list everything I still need to do, but just maybe I'll get there. Wish me luck!
Then in February I can clean up my loose ends for 2015.

My goals are to take more pictures and to buy what I love. I just cancelled my kit subs because I'm tired of having things I would've never picked out. Also I hope my scrapping continues because I'm getting a lot done. I didn't get more pics taken, so try again. I did good not buying and using my stash..still getting pages done

I find that the more I scrap, the more photos I want to take, so you may find that happening to you, too.

I finished my swap layouts. Hurray! They'll go out Monday.
Even though it was 24 pages in total, it was one design. I keep track of my layouts every year and am having the how do I count it dilema?? 2 or 24?

The way I see it if you copied the same sketch 24 times throughout the year it would count as 24 pages, this is really no different.

Once the glossy accents dry on a couple of die cuts I can attach them and call another page done for the month.
I have a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head but I don't think they will get done before January ends so they will have to go towards my February totals.
Thanks for keeping me motivated and on track!

Thanks for all the inspiration, Ladies! Are we doing this again in February? I still have lots of photos, lots of scrappy supplies, and just got an order of glue refills, so I am all set! YES! I think a monthly thread for goals and progress is an AWESOME idea! I'm already thinking about what i want to accomplish in February!
