Then with my husband we are doing 100 days of eating at home. It doesn't include social obligations or the weekend we are going away in June but we want to put a stop to the habit of randomly eating out or picking up something because we are too lazy to plan and prepare meals. Their membership has been closed, but if you sign up for their waitlist before the 31st, they'll send you a link on the 31st of March as they're opening up and at old prices: $18/month or $144 for the year. On April 1st the prices go up. I'm not a member, but thought I might try it and see. I do not like frozen premade foods really, whether it's store bought or homemade. However, I needed some quick meals since going out or picking up foods really isn't an option for us with all of dd's issues. I found I do like having a few premade meals in the freezer for those days when life is just too busy and I'm just too tired. Unfortunately you still have to have it thawed in the refrigerator for use. I figure for my family I would just have one thawed and ready during the week and I can use it when I see fit. I also don't do my cooking once a month, but make a double or triple batch of certain things I know freeze well. |

LisaDV Thanks for the link.  I took a quick look on they have quite a few recipes that look really good that don't require using a crock pot. DH doesn't like them running without someone home so it wouldn't work except on the weekend.

Ok so I think I have my plan figured out.
I'm going to commit to at least 30 minutes a day for 100 days. I don't want to do the same thing for 100 days but I do want to do some skill building. So I'm going to break it up into 25 day projects.
25 days in my art journal
25 days of scrapbook pages (physical or app)
25 days of e-classes (not sure about this one since I'm not actually creating but I have so many classes that I need to go through)
25 days of Misc. (cards,unfinished projects,sewing,etc.)
I'm going to make a jar of prompts for the art journal project so that I am trying new techniques,supplies and not wasting time deciding what to do.
Also going to make a jar to pull from for the Misc. projects.
I'm reserving the right to change me mind at any time or continue past the 25 day mark if I'm on a roll.

I'm backing out - I'm just too busy - the only weekends we're not scheduled for Girl Scout stuff in April and May are Easter and Memorial Day and then I'm hoping DS will be home on leave in June (it was supposed to be April but he got extended) - we haven't seen him in 3 years. So this isn't the year to committ to doing anything on a daily basis

Do you think it’s ‘OK’ if I just make the goal to craft every day for the 100 days? Not necessarily all the same thing?
I mean I guess there’s no hard/fast rules but would it be weird to do a project 4 days scrapping - 10 days drawing- day of cards- more scrapping etc? Would it look weird on Instagram or in the gallery ( which I still have to figure out I uploaded layouts but I don’t think anyone can see them

hop2 , I'm doing basically the same thing - something creative every day. And that may even include watching crafty youtube videos on some days. Don't tell the #100dayproject police.

No one is going to kick you out of the project Do you need help with your uploads? Have you shared any links to test? grammadee seems to be the gallery expert around here so maybe she can tell you if she can see what you've posted/help you out. I can help you out with Instagram links if that's an issue. (But no, don't worry about how it looks to others on IG - they're all too busy keeping up with their own projects to worry if yours is consistent  ). |

hop2, I can help you with using the 2Peas Gallery, and linking from there to the message board if you are a Flickr member. If you PM me, I can walk you through it. If you are wanting to link from IG, there is a discussion in THIS thread about how to do that. If you have questions about sharing your work from any other source, that would be a good place to ask questions.

I'm going to be knitting for the 100 days. I have Christmas stocking that has to be done this year. This is the perfect type of thing to keep me working on it. I'm excited to start!

I loaded my lighthouse pages from the crop to Flickr but I don’t think they ‘apear’ Anywhere visible to anyone but me. I think I need to get off my phone & look at it on my computer, check settings etc. if I can’t figure it out I’ll give a shout for help. But I think it’s using my phone that giving me trouble. |

Check your privacy settings on Flickr. To share here, your album needs to be public. If you have not joined the 2peas Gallery and would like to, you can search for 2peas refugees under Groups in Flickr, and then hit the button to Request to Join. |

Check your privacy settings on Flickr. To share here, your album needs to be public. There is a trick to share private photos from one's Flickr account on here (which is what I do). If anyone needs the trick, hit me up. You won't, however, be able to redirect people to your Flickr photo directly or get comments on it through the Flickr interface. It's only good for hotlinking the image. |

Day 2 I did 3 more double page layout for the lighthouse album I am almost done. I plan to finish it up tonight & give to my sister Saturday. Incase I don’t see her before her birthday. Then it’s on to my DD’s travel gift albums. That I need to finish quickly. By 4/30&5/10 Boy for not having scrapping in years I sure jumped back in with both feet. I have 2 busy busy days fri & sat so I’ll concentrate on uploading stuff Sunday. Just Incase I don’t do something planned or organized Friday I’ll try to draw or sketch I’ll be at my DD’s senior show.

I'm very impressed with all the progress. My goal is to reach into my stash and create some things out of existing craft supplies. On day one, I worked on a scarf that I have been weaving. On day two, it was a bit of a stretch, but I organized and ordered some photos that I need to use up some specific paper. While it doesn't strictly fit within my project, I'm allowing it because it will actually enable me to get some scrapping done over the next two days.

I changed my mind about my project. I was going to work on die cutting, but with the travel I have planned in April and May that didn't really work. Instead I'm going to colour for 100 days. I have so many cute stamps and a small fortune worth of alcohol markers, water coulour markers, and pencil crayons. I am going to try to improve my colouring and use some neglected stash.

I saw a YouTube poster who was going to embellish one Project Life card every day. I could get behind that, I think. You could have one space with cards and left over embellishments and have one done in five minutes.
