Hey, TEAM! How is everyone doing? Including today, 6 more days in November...
I have been happily scrapping my dgk’s photos the last few days. Have almost finished the Halloween photos. May have to put a couple of them away b/c I somehow missed printing a few pic’s. I want to dive into some little boy pihotos—non Halloween ones, but not sure how many pages I will complete this week. We have a brunch today, and are heading into the city Thursday//Friday for some appointments and shopping. Also, I have started my Christmas baking. Might have to claim my baking hours as non paper crafting!
How does the rest of the month look to you? Any more challenges you are itching to tackle? Photos burning a hole in your pocket? Any free scrappy time?

i am sucking ass, that's how i'm doing  i just came off my two-day weekend and i did make one page, but that was it. i didn't even attempt to do more. i am just not feeling the scrappy vibes this month. it will happen, it always does, but it's frustrating. especially since we have a lot of really awesome challenges this month! but since we're going to keep them open for december, i hope to get my rear in gear and get some pages done then, if not sooner. |

i am sucking ass, that's how i'm doing Well that made me laugh. I started working on Christmas cards this last weekend. I joined the 2peas swap and even though I won't be able to send to everyone just because of the cost of postage, I'm aiming to get to about half. I have the start of ~60 cards on my desk right now. I'd like to get them finished this week just so I can get them in the mail. |

Sixty cards sounds like an awesome accomplishment, @chinagilr828. And if they are all the same, you can claim points for 60 x the total for one of them + 60 for creating and 1 for sharing. That'll add up! Hope you find your mojo's soon, Linda and stinkerbelle. But it's understandable, considering how much you have scrapped all year. Sometimes we just need to take a break. I am enjoying scrapping just for the fun of it. Finished my calendar and my Disney album, and have enough cards for sending to family and friends. (Have already put my pea mail into the post office). So I am kinda into a rhythm where I come in here with my coffee, grab the first set of photos I see, and then start cutting and gluing. Have used up most of my October Scrapbooking Fanatics kit, and am playing with the September kit plus some new Cocoa Vanilla and Simple Stories little boy lines, so lots of inspiration from pics and products. I greatly fear that soon I will need to clean up this room, though. I HATE cleaning, but the piles of scraps and other items have almost reached critical mass. Piles keep slipping, and stuff keeps hiding under them. |

i am sucking ass, that's how i'm doing Do you need special training for that or can anyone manage it without too much difficulty? 
I've not had a great month either 
I sent craftykitten one of my #Cardtober cards though; she's on my mind every day. Some people seem to have more than a share of trouble 
I'm toying with a December album - shall we/shan't we? And I must get my Christmas cards done for our little birthday group. I have done 5 photobok pages, but not sure I'll share them before the end of November, and also 5 birthday cards i can't share but I'll tot up the points for at least making them  |

I've got my first batch of 30 cards finished. I was fairly conservative in my points but still nearly doubled my current point score. I've just added a photo to the sharing thread. The second batch of cards will have a different design but uses the same stamp set and I have all the stamping and cutting of the animals done, I just need to cut the cardstock bases and assemble.
Also, I was surprised how good this has been for using up colours of cardstock that are no longer my go to shades.

Last day! I see stinkerbelle got some pages in just under the wire... Well, not quite JUST under the wire. I have a page to post this evening for tomorrow's Sketchy Saturday. Will get my points in to stinkerbelle after that. Off to drive my dh to a bunch of medical appointments in the city (5 hours driving return trip, if roads are good). Actually, my job is to get him to the clinic and pick him up afterward, so I am actually off to the city to do some Christmas shopping  . |

oh geez, good thing we're skipping december, i had totally forgotten about gathering points and all that. thanks for the reminder grammadee! i need to update my own. i also have one page nearly finished that i need to work on and upload. have been having horrible migraines and had to miss two days of work this week. i didn't get anything scrappy done, of course, but i did spend a few hours putting together some page kits (which i may or may not ever use!). so ok then, don't forget to message me (or post here) with your points ladies! |

I'm sorry team, I have failed you big time 
We are in fourth quarter at work, working tons of overtime. I have made 2 last sets of Christmas cards that I took pictures of but haven't even been on enough to add the points up
I can't believe today is the last day of the month already! |

My total is 196 points. I hope you're feeling better stinkerbelle. How was the Christmas shopping grammadee? I hope the medical stuff for your DH went well? It's a grey, wet day here and I have to go out I've avoided putting a nose outside the door since 3rd September but I've got a dentist checkup. We're putting our tree up later though!  And I've started a Christmas journal; not a photobook this time, I'm going to do print and cut with the Silhouette Cameo and use the Cinch to bind it all together. |

First thing on my to do list for today is to tally my points! As much as I love the challenges the points always weigh me down.

Boo! I need another small filling; having it done between Christmas and New Year. I hope it's not raining then, it tippled down on me this morning  My husband won't be taking me out again before that  Our dentist is housed in Sainsbury's store, and I was rather entranced by the Christmas section, not having seen any this year.
Guess what we're doing this afternoon?  |

Post by stinkerbelle on Dec 1, 2018 14:10:45 GMT
ooh have fun JaneB! take some good photos to share with us  sorry about the filling KelleeM i'm sure with all the scrapping you did this month, it's a daunting task for you. i write my points down as i finish each LO because i know me, and if i left it til the end, i'd never do it, so i feel your pain! and i guess i should add my points to the mix, which i believe is 505. i'll double check, but pretty sure that's right. not too bad considering i had no mojo. |

My total is 371. I wish I could rack up big points but just don’t seem to have the ability...my 20 page mini album was only 98 points. I guess I’m a pretty simple scrapper!
