I'm still working on my DD.
The photos were delivered on the 11th, and I thought I'd be finished, but work has been a bear, and between kids and work, I've just been so drained. But everyday I do some little thing with it.
Last night, a coworker emailed me a pic that I didn't have, but that I wanted for it. SO I'm having it printed at Walgreens this morning.
I have a backlog of school photos from December, but I want to finish my DD before I run out of desire to make it.
So, what are you working on?

I'm creating calendar cards and week number title cards. I'm up to Match and Week 7, and now it's lunchtime, with a little side of tennis. Edit: See the Freudian slip there - Match instead of March

When I get home I will be back to doing November and December pages, including Christmas. I will also have photos from this weekend printed, so will have those to play with as well.

I'm working on a album I'm doing of last summer's vacation at our cabin. I was about half done with it then put it aside to work on a gift album for my husband, one for my daughter and my DD. I'm finding it hard to get back into the vacation album though. I'm off work today so I'm planning on working a lot on it so hopefully once I get going it will start to flow again. That's why I don't like to stop in middle of an album or project once I start it.

I'm almost finished cleaning/reorganizing/purging my room. My next project is deciding if I want to do PL this year. I am always behind and never seem to finish on time.
My next project is catching up on 2016.

I hear ya. I have such a hard time trying to find time between work and my little one! I need help trying to find some creative time! When I get home I will be back to doing November and December pages, including Christmas. I will also have photos from this weekend printed, so will have those to play with as well. How are you recovering? Finished my Oklahoma album last week and made everyone who visited me this weekend look at it. (They were appropriately admiring) Back to work on gk books now.

1. I have some page bases I want to finish up.
2. DH's Valentine's day gift. I am going to put our wedding photos into one of those 7 gypsies spinners.
3. Album for my sister with their professional pics. I'm going to take this to a crop next month.

I am recovering steadily, nicolep. Thanks for asking! Slowly getting range of motion back. No real pain: just some achiness. Physio exercises are helping, and I have really enjoyed sitting in ds's hot tub this weekend. My goal is to be able to pack up and load all my stuff for a crop in April. We all have to have goals, right?

That is good news grammadee! I think loading up and being able to attent a crop in April sounds reasonable! I hope your recovery continues to be positive. I finished up my Christmas thank-you cards this weekend and put them in the mail today. I know, I know...sounds a little old-fashioned but my mom always had us write thank-you's from the time we were young and I've kept it up. I think it's fun to receive real mail anyway and I'm ok knowing that some people will throw them away, lol. I got my creative therapy making them so I'm fulfilled.

I still write thank you notes on real paper notecards, and send them through the USPS with a real postage stamp. I love receiving real mail that isn't bills or ads.

I have been working on cleaning my scrap space. Cleaned out a closet last week and I'm off work today so I'm going to go in and try to get some more done. I purged a ton of really old stuff that I had not touched in years. Certain areas of the room are really functional and organized and my goal is to get the whole space that way.

I'm going to be a lone wolf here but I'm exclusively working on my 2017 PL (boring, I know). I've finished the sketch for the first monthly spread (the second one will be about our trip coming up later this week), decided on the selfie for my title card, preselected several photos and edited them, made a draft for the journaling, picked out my cards and decided on which embellishments would work. I'll probably put it all together next week so that I can do both spreads in one go. grammadee It's really nice to read your recovery is going well. Slow and easy, right?

I took a break from scrapping to work on 2016 pictures. It's not my favorite part but it has to be done if I want to scrap. I want to be prepared for my crop that's early in February so it's a job that needs to get done soon. So far I've edited and uploaded up to the summer 2016 pictures so I'm moving right along. sleepingbooty , are you saying that you're actually caught up on PL??? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before.

sleepingbooty , are you saying that you're actually caught up on PL??? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before. Lone wolf status confirmed then. (if I fall behind on PL, it's game over for me ) All of you ladies taking about going to crops makes me a little jelly, to be honest. I've never been to one, not sure there have ever been any close to where I live (maybe a 4 to 6h bullet train ride away?). I imagine it's like a LAN party but with plenty of pretty papers and lovely home-baked cookies (don't burst my fantasy bubble by reminding me cookies are not a good idea when working with paper)...

I finished my December Daily a couple weeks ago. I haven't been very crafty this month. I have three birthday cards and a Valentines card to make.

Most of the peas seem to have good experiences at crops. They accomplish so much and meet other very nice scrappers. But some are like the ones in this thread,which was brought over from the old board. Here is another thread full of crop funnies. Enjoy.

Just cleaned off my desk from all the Christmas stuff. (I actually have a rare clean desk at the moment.) I made a winter-y card for a thank you, and will probably make a few more winter themed cards before getting back to my pre-Christmas projects (scrapping European vacation from a few years ago - currently working on both London and Venice). I'm also about halfway through making Disney-themed collage frames for extended family for framing some of our Disney vacation pics (with said extended family) from last summer. Going through approximately a million WDW pics to choose which to print...yeah, that'll take me a while, LOL! Who am I kidding? It ALL takes me a while because I work 40 hours a week, and many nights I'm too tired to scrap. I usually try to scrap on weekends, but sometimes we have other plans (or, you know - people need to eat or something... )

I am trying to clear enough room on my desk and the floor around it so that I can actually be crafty. Who bought all of this stuff!?!?

I am working on current pics and by current I mean August 2016 to now. I have most all of them printed with a few in the cart at Walmart.
I am going to 'redo' some photos from my son's ROTC because he had to drop out due to a knee injury and I have all this product I bought so I am going to put in full size 4x6 pics instead of the 2x3 and try to use up product and finish the album.
I am a bit more than half done with son's college graduation in Dec and our trip to NYC also in Dec. Can't wait to scrap the rest of the pics. I love working on current stuff.
Over the next few weeks I will be pulling product for my next project which may take the rest of the year to scrap.

I've been spending more time looking at all my scrapbook goodies than using them. A bit of reorganization and prepping some items to sell at my LSS's garage sale.
