I will try to update this as you check in. __________________
I did 16 of my 10 last month. I have over 300 this year! This month I want to say 5 but am going to stick to my 10 that I have said I would do each month. I did one layout today and used a bunch of scraps to create a page that I will add pictures to later.

Hey friends! Checking in earlier this time.
I got 11 calendar pages done for my FIL in October. I got three done for my parents today. But I still have 15 calendar pages to go. And then, I had two of my nieces stay with us a week this summer and I just feel really strongly that I need to make each of them a scrapbook of their visit so that's another 50 pages I need to do by Christmas....! It's fine. everything is fine... HA.

Well, I got 8 done for October but I’ve lost track how many pages I have actually done the last few months, I’ll have to count. I’m in for 20 this month, actually time home

I got a big ZILCH done in October, but I did get 120 cards finished and sent off for the military for Christmas. We leave for our very first cruise tomorrow. Going from Galveston, TX to Key West FL to 3 ports in the Bahamas. 8 day trip. So it will be nearly mid November, by the time I get back.
I'm going to say 5 as goal and hope for more.

Nov goal 5

Hi to all of you checking in! Hope we can all meet our goals this month. But mostly let's just have fun!
Tanya, your pages are always so fun and they are treasured, I am sure by those you give albums to.
Lela, so good to see you checking in regularly. WE MISS YOU when you don't.
Amy, have a fabulous cruise!! We look forward to all those photos when you come back.
Waving to Pia and Lou Ann, our cheer leaders!
I got the October page done for my FIL and have uploaded the whole calendar. All but October is in the October gallery, haha... but here they are if you want.
Tanya,
the calendar pages are great. I know your fil will love them. I am glad you were able to make them.
Amy,
I am impressed with the number of cards you made! Enjoy your trip. I would love to try a cruise!
Lela,
I agree, I am so happy when I get anything crafty done!
I have been trying to use stamps and other supplies on my pages. I am also trying to keep my area clean. So far I’m doing okay. I hope everyone has a great day. I’m working tomorrow and then off for the week.

Thought I'd pop in & whine a little...LOL! Yesterday, I decided to organize. Spent about 4 hours going through kits, organizing 2014 layouts which were in 2 albums but all out of order & writing down what photos I needed to look for or print. Started working on it today & I couldn't find my note! Sooo, I just spent another few hours looking for my note, looking for the photos I thought were printed (which I didn't find) & then doing it all over again. I will probably find my note & printed photos now that I've reordered them!! Off to CVS I go!!
Ugh Lou Ann! It’s brutal when you can’t find the list. Seriously lately I’ve been snapping a photo of my lists or only writing them in my work notebook which stays in my briefcase, I’ve lost too many of them, haha! Feeling your pain
Ive been busy finishing Christmas cards, now starting on finishing 2021 & 2022 December albums. I’m hoping to have both done by December 2023, lofty goal. I did finish some October pages
Heres wishing all of you a crafty week

Lela, taking a photo of the list is a good idea! I do that with other things & don't know why I didn't with this. I'm back on track & have 5 pages almost ready to post! If I can get the other 3 done, I'll have 2014 completed!!! You have been busy but I'm sure you'll get your albums completed!
I have my long awaited SCS shoebox event Saturday & I've been ready for a month...thank goodness! Then I need to do 6 birthday cards for next Tuesday & my Christmas cards.
I was able to get 6 pages done yesterday! The first 2 layouts had been unfinished kits from years ago. They only needed journaling but I decided to added a few more photos. The last 2 layouts had the left pages done (& had been previously posted on SCS) so I put the right pages together. Only 3 pages to go & I'll have my DGS's 2014 album completed!!

That is totally frustrating, but sounds about right for me... ARGH!
So glad you were able to get pages made!

2024 Scrapping Goals: April:11; March 8/12; 2024: 46/125
Lou Ann,
I think we have all been there! I can’t tell you how many times I make my grocery/errand list and then walk out the door without it. So frustrating. Then I think I remember and of course come home with out the ONE thing I really needed! I am glad to see you are back on track! I hope you enjoy your shoebox swap, they are always fun.
I made a few more pages for my niece’s baby book. She is due in January so I have some time. I ordered little tags with things like first tooth, so I have to wait for those to do those type pages. I am going to make holiday pages too. I did all the pregnancy, getting ready and a page for each month. Oh I need a christening page too. I had to add one to her daughter’s book after the fact, I am only doing this many pages for her, when I make other gift books I I do not include this much!
Yesterday I also worked on putting together the Disney page kits from whole Kit and Kaboodle and paper wizard. My husband had to check a suitcase for our trip so I put some kits in there. I can work on them when he is at the conference. He is en route, I leave tomorrow.

Good idea taking kits to fill your time! I have a bunch of Disney kits put together & need to print my photos!
Today, as I put everything away from Saturday's shoebox event, I decided to try to find homes for my 2 orphan stamps. I feel pretty good that after 3 or 4 years, everyone is back home...LOL!
We have an appointment tomorrow so I'm hopeful I'll get back to scrapping on Thursday so I can finish my 2 pages for 2014. I'm ready to move on!
Not much crafting here. Just enjoying our son's visit. We have walked a lot, taken a lot of selfies of us on the trail, so will have some scrapping to do after he leaves. Sorry, I am MIA. I will try to get the rest to the VSBN challenges up over the weekend.
I was so busy this week, no crafting time! Tomorrow I have the shop and show live event with paper wizard. I bought the box and hope to get a lot of the make and takes done. My bff is doing it too, she is supposed to join me! I have my dining room table clean and ready to go.

Sharon, I'm glad you had a good time with your son! That's what life is all about.
Pia, Have fun tomorrow! Can't wait to see/hear about your projects!
Yesterday, I finished my last layout for 2014 & 1 page for 2023! Now I just need to put the 2014 album together. Not sure what I'm going to do this weekend. I should do my outside decorating for Christmas, start my Christmas cards & make a gift for a Christmas Swap! Choices, choices, choices but I'd rather scrapbook!! LOL!
I need to put on my thinking cap for the challenges! My recent layouts haven't fit so I'll have to check my list...twice...LOL!
So far today, I cleaned up my desk, tried to design my Christmas card but gave up then I put paper on 3 wooden 4th of July stars that have been in my way for months & put my 2014 album together. The album was to thick for the posts so I tried the Pioneer Snapload System. Not sure I'm going to like it because it seems very wooblely but we'll see. I guess I'd better start to think about dinner!!
I have some of those but the last time I couldn't get them to work. My husband said I stripped the threads. He cut a bolt & that worked really well. Someone mention these on a FB site I belong to but I think they're expensive. I need to try the extensions again.
Lou Ann,
I put my husband in charge of adding the extenders! He really only wants me to buy the 3 ring albums from now on. Sometimes I need postbound so he fixes them for me.

Yep! I changed to the ring binders! But I still have several left of the ones that you have to use extenders, on. Always a major ordeal and hubby has to help me. They come with 20 pages, so I just try to only do that many in a year, but it doesn't work that way. LOL
