gale w i haven't seen the document from JaneB but you get one point for making something, then you get one point for whatever challenge/s you have done. you don't say hey i did a challenge there's a point and then also take a point for that specific challenge. i hope that makes sense!

Bumping this up to page one. How is everyone doing? I hope that all the new players are beginning to feel at home. My advice is, whether you are using JaneB's spreadsheet or counting up your points by editing your "spot" on this thread, that you try to keep up and add the points right after you have shared your creations. That takes the pressure off to add them all up at the end of the month. I have been forgetting to claim LOVE points, and last month just resorted to counting my comments in the Gallery and then rounding up a bit to get a total. This year I have a little piece of notepaper by my computer and every time I comment on a creation in one of the threads or in the gallery I give myself another tick. Five ticks = 1 point, so at the end of each day I am claiming those points. Don't think I am double dipping b/c I usually only "like" in the thread if I have commented in the Gallery. |

Yea, I took the day off to help move my dad, but it’s raining so we are doing it tomorrow! That means a craft day for me  So far I’ve finished 4 partial cards and I’m almost done with another 10 cards I started at a crop this spring   |

A huge thanks for allowing me to join a team late. My dog is a lot better now. Earlier this week we took her in (she had to go in every day or every other day for the past 12 days or so) and she had a fever. The vet gave her a shot and I was pretty worried because she was taking 5 medications and still had a fever. It seems to have cleared up by now. We go back tomorrow and I am hoping they will clear her to stop some of the meds and to eat more of her normal food. She has had to eat a special recovery diet that she does not seem to love. She still has the stitches and they said they should fall out or be absorbed naturally in the next 4-6 weeks or so. I literally felt sick to my stomach about it and that we were "bad pet parents" for not noticing. The moment I saw something strange I made an appointment but she ended up having to go earlier on a Saturday for an emergency type appointment. I had to be gone for work a lot the past 2 weeks so it has been my husband taking her to the vet (unless it was a day I was home). Anyhow, I am excited to play again this month. Thanks for all of the inspiration!

I am going to catch up on commenting and then I think organizing things in my craft space may help with the mojo.

I’ve had to come out a couple of times, so now it’s lunch time for them. Hopefully that will settle them for a while  Sorry your fussy cutting isn’t working today. |

How is everyone doing? I have been having fun with the CardTober challenges. Have all of them done except today's. And I am now back into page making mode.
This is my second day HOME ALONE. Yesterday I managed to finish 6 pages (I need to share the last two and add up my points for those.) And I drove to town for a physio appointment plus printed some pic's to play with today.
One more page to do before I can set aside the collections I have been using and start on some new themes. I need to reread the stash challenge so I can fit that into my plans today. Pulled out some cork yesterday to mat a photo, so I have a piece on my counter ready to go to work. Can't remember what else I need to really tackle that one.
But... woke up with an aura which is usually a harbinger of a migraine. I may need to just chill for awhile in a dark room and let the Advil I just ingested take effect....

oh and what i'm up to. well, i'm doing fabulous on the buying side of things. not so much on the scrappy side. i'm SO close to killing my kit for the kit game and i can't wait to finish it so i can tackle some other challenges. i'm off friday but will spend quite a bit of the day picking up my daughter from college, so i highly doubt i'll get anything done then. then i work saturday and sunday and am off my normal monday/tuesday, and i'll definitely be making something then.

I was starting to feel burnt out doing my cards since I've been pushing really hard (for me). But each day there are great new challenges. Thank you all for making this so fun |

Slinking in to mark my spot. But I have a question about the Cardtober challenges. It looks like some of the challenges are similar. Does that mean what we create can count for multiple card challenges? You can claim one point per card for Challenge #1 CARDtober if it meets at least one of the CARDtober challenges. But you can claim additional points, one for each of the challenges numbered 2 to 53. If a CARDtober challenge asks you to use glitter, and you claim #1 for that card, you can still claim a point for #53 as well. Hope this makes sense. |

I think I got it. No matter how many Cardtober challenges the card meets, it only counts as one point, right?

Seven days left this month to pile up the points—and create beautiful things. How are you doing?
I have 25 pages from the weekend and a card I cobbled together yesterday to photograph, upload and count points for. Will do that next week when I am home.

I'm running out of time and steam....not sure I'll get much more done this month.
I'm trying to scrap today in between cleaning house but once DD12 gets home, I do need to supervise her packing for camp and cleaning her room plus we need to make SWAPS together...
Hoping to get a little scrapping in tomorrow before packing for camp and heading out after DD12 gets home from school - we'll be at camp all weekend. When I get back I'll need to get motivated on my Cardtober challenge...
