My first grandchild is here - 2 days old, and I have ordered almost all of the photos taken of her so far. I have a crop tomorrow and am going to get on top of those photos right away.
I have a crop tonight and while I have all of my December photos I wasn't able to pull the product I need to scrap them. I am going to try to make due with what I did pull but it may be an early night for me.
I also think I have a crop next weekend as well so my January goals are to scrap the December photos and the baby photos as much as I possibly can. I have a huge oversized iris bin for all the baby girl stuff I have collected so it will be no problem cranking those out!

Congratulations myboysnme! How exciting! She’s beautiful! I have more health goals this month, exercise and eating right, to lose the holiday weight I’ve managed to find! But I am hoping to get a 2 page Christmas layout and DD’s 25th Birthday completed by the end of the month. Not sure that’s going to happen given that today is already the 11th and I haven’t even started. I’d be happy to get just one of those events scrapped!

She's a cutie! Baby photos are so fun to scrapbook!
Well my 2019 goals are having a hard time even getting started it feels. I'm still hoping to be able to set up my new space by the end of next weekend but I have a *ahem* DH who seems to be taking his sweet time and getting his $*it out of it! He has had 2 evenings to move his models and get the old shelving down so that I can start patching the holes in the wall to prep to paint. He moved 4! 4 in the first night! The second night started going that way too and to be honest I was getting mad and a little hurt. All of my stuff has been packed away for a month, I've been busting my butt to help him get his space ready but there doesn't seem to mean much when it comes to my space. 🤨 whew! That felt better!

Well...
I was going to join the challenges team thing this month, but when I went to sign up it was already closed (thats what I get for waiting until December 31st). Technically, I could still do the challenges but for some reason not being on a team threw off my motivation.
I've been making page kits and reorganizing my non-themed supplies instead, so I want to finish that.
I also have a pile of started but not finished layouts to get through.

Congratulations, myboysnme ! What a sweetie you have to scrap! Looking forward to all the baby pages. Do you need any baby scrapping supplies? I have tubs of the stuff, and my youngest dgk is 3 years old, so not much need any more... (sniff !!!) I hate having to wait on dh to do projects, needtime2scrap . He marches to a beat of a completely different drum than mine... Hope you find your scrappy mojo soon, breetheflea. Feel free to play along with the challenges and share what you are doing in our team sharing thread. No one really knows who is on our teams, anyway, and you could get all the fun of scrapping and meeting challenges without the math of adding up your points! And if you don't feel right about that, set up a separate January sharing thread and share away! Thanks for setting up this thread, Linda . My main goal for this month was to get back into scrapping after very little being done craft wise in December, and I am happy that I have been able to do that. 14 pages and one card so far, and another couple of pages on the scrap counter. Specifically, I want to: 1. Finish scrapping all the Christmas related photos so I can store away all my Christmas papers and embellies into the dark bottom corner of my scrap pantry, where they will wait to hop out for card making season in the fall. Have a few more pages to go. Last photos will be printed on Tuesday, so hope to have the storing away done by the end of next week. 2. Meet the 12 Days of Christmas challenges I had set up with great hopes in December, but didn't really get to play with. Should be able to accomplish these while I am scrapping Christmas. 3. Go back and scrap my November photos (which would have been the ones I had scrapped in December if I had scrapped) 4. Begin work on 4 scrapped canvasses for my kids' homes. Using photographers' family photos from our vacation last August. I have the canvases. Need to buy some paint and ModPodge. Hoping that the LSS still has some of that tropical paper I picked up at the fall crop to scrap my Disney album with. Not sure if I will tackle 3 before 4, the other way around, or alternate between those two goals. One or both of these goals will probably extend into next month, but hoping to at least get started in January.

Even though I only finished my Christmas album like a week ago it feels like it has been forever since I've scrapped so I just want to get started again. I'm aiming to
* make a couple of pages before the end of the month * maybe work on one of my vacation albums from last year (6x8 pocket pages) * plan and prepare for the Feb challenges

I have to edit my goals because the crop I thought I had next week is cancelled.
I did get to scrap all but few newborn photos yesterday, and got a start on some December photos. I will be carrying those over to February.

Would love to see your baby pages. I took the album to the new parents today but maybe when I visit I can snap photos of some of the layouts.

Update as of Sunday Night...paint is done! Except for the last wall that I ran out of paint before I could do a second coat. But it's all good! I picked up a tall Alex 9 drawer unit yesterday, looking forward to getting my space organized! I left dh to his own devices yesterday and I think it did us both good. I was out of his hair and he could work at his speed and I didn't strangle him waiting for him to get his things moved 😆 it was a win win!

Yay January goals!
1. Keep up to date-ish with 2019 PL - going well so far! I am a week behind which is ideal for me. I usually scarp on Sundays and don't like scrapping an unfinished week. Got my 2018 NYE page done and my 2019 intro page done as well. 2. October 2018 PL - halfway done! 3. September 2018 PL - pick photos, screen caps etc. 4. Create kit for 2018 cruise mini album - only just started. Need to edit photos down and figure out how much space I really need. Picked out a paper pad and I have a ton of chipboard albums to choose from, surely one of those will be sufficient.
I'd love to say I can get more of 2018 done than that this month but it's already half over and I am trying for once to be realistic LOL.

My main goals for this month are to 1) finish my 2017-2018 album and 2) make a plan for 2019. My albums are out of control and I need to scale back.

I scrapped some teen #2 high school pics. Three different events.
I ran out of scotch double sided tape, so am about to go buy more.
I still haven't touched my other teen's Japan trip pics. I have all the pics, the embellishments, the paper. It's all waiting for me on my desk.

My main January goal is finishing PL 2018.Only 2 months to complete. I don't make a separate album for OLW, but need to get my January page done too.
I am also hoping to get a new album set up for the year. I stopped my AE subs but have lots of kits left. I wanted to try scrapping those stories in their own album in the hopes it will be faster to get some story ideas documented. Bought a 9 x 12 album with the recent coupon code and wanted to get the page protectors in with some post it notes. Hoping this new size will energize me to tackle the project.

I want to add my goals in here too (even though the month is more than half over...I will add my goals as they were at the beginning of the month).
January Goals
+ Keep up with project life 2019 // so far I've done too well with this and I've wanting to add to my album but having to wait until the week is over because I'm all caught up. + Finish my 2018 summer mini album // so far I worked on this and got a few pages done, I have two more events to add and then it will be done. + Finish my 2018 project life album // I completed this already. + Complete January 2019 in my OLW journal & share here // I have started on this, but still have a bit to add. + Create January digital pages for my "bits of life" digital book // so far I've made 10 pages + a January cover page! I need to create a cover page for the year and come up with a design for the pages opposite my monthly cover pages, but otherwise this is plenty for the month. + Create 4 traditional layouts // One of my 2019 goals is to create more traditional layouts--I tend to do these in bursts, but this year I want to keep up with it more consistently. So far I've created one. + Create at least one traditional or digital layout from the new story kit // This is one of my 2019 goals--to create & share a page each month from the current kit. I have not yet done this, but also I haven't gotten my kit yet
Goals for the year: These are too long term/big picture to break them down into monthly goals so I just added them here but definitely don't intend to finish them this month!
+ Add story kits notes/page plans to my planning journal & create pages w/ old kits // So far this month I went back and did the first 3 story kit classes that I had over (daily, first, gathering) & got them in my page planning journal & I created one page from the "daily" kit. + Finish my stamp organization project // I have not made progress on this yet this month. + Fully organize my craft room and craft room closet // I started pulling some stuff out of the closet one day, but need to make more progress on this.

I think I also have an Elles Studio class, I’m probably not going to print everything out, but I would like to download and get one of those stick usb thingys for all my scrappy stuff on the computer. I scrapped all weekend, I was slow lol but I scrapped at least. I think I’d also like to get into my scrap pile, die cut some things and maybe make some embellishments.

Two more days.... Hoping to finish a couple more fall pages tomorrow before I call this month a wrap.
DONE: Finish scrapping all the Christmas related photos so I can store away all my Christmas papers and embellies into the dark bottom corner of my scrap pantry, where they will wait to hop out for card making season in the fall. Have a few more pages to go. Last photos will be printed on Tuesday, so hope to have the storing away done by the end of next week.
DONE: Meet the 12 Days of Christmas challenges I had set up with great hopes in December, but didn't really get to play with. Should be able to accomplish these while I am scrapping Christmas.
STARTED: Go back and scrap my November photos (which would have been the ones I had scrapped in December if I had scrapped)
MATERIALS COLLECTED: Begin work on 4 scrapped canvasses for my kids' homes. Using photographers' family photos from our vacation last August. I have the canvases. Need to buy some paint and ModPodge. Hoping that the LSS still has some of that tropical paper I picked up at the fall crop to scrap my Disney album
How did you do?
