For 2022 I would like to:

• Do more daily pages. I’m going to try using 4×6 index cards in rings instead of mini books. Want to include Currently & Thursday 3 each week.
• 100 Happy Days.
• Try a photo challenge. I miss doing them
• Continue memory keeping in the Heidi Swapp Chapters books. It’s worked really well last year and I managed to keep fairly up to date.
• Fussy Cutting Cuties. Between this & the Daily Pages – these will be my play projects. Ways of trying ideas or techniques.
• Week in the Life & Day in the Life
• December Daily/Journal Your Christmas. I really want to get back to creating an album again instead of just a 2 page spread.

Over the next few weeks I’m hoping to photograph & share with you some projects from 2021 – my Cutie book, 2021 Book of Me, both Monthly & weekly memory keeping books and, fingers crossed, my 2021 December album. We’ll see how we go.

What’s your scrapping plans for 2022?

So here we are at the end of 2021. This year seems to have flown by, but I think we say that every year.
On the last day of the year I thought I do a round up of a post I did earlier in the year looking at my plans for 2021.

My word for 2021 was Create.
I want to create a more decluttered and organised house. Hmm well not entirely.
I want to create more crafty projects. I think I managed to create more.
Create more in the garden. We planted a few more things, cleaned up a bit and managed to get a plan.

My crafty plans

• Book of Me with the Awesome Ladies Project. Complete!
• Daily Pages (Monday to Friday). I managed to get a few months done but not every month. I enjoy doing these but I need to rethink of how I can do it and make it a part of my everyday.
• 100 Happy Days Compete! I love this project.
• Attempt to do a daily photo challenge. See how far I get. Didn’t happen. I took photos most days though but not for a challenge.
• Sharing more on here & my Instagram. I’m finally working out an editorial calendar for myself so hopefully things will be a bit more regular. I’ve done more sharing but I want to make it more regular.
• Continuing to do my Currently & Thursday 3 each week. Most weeks. I added my Currently to my yearly album.
• work through the 52 weeks to an organised craft space challenge from thekeeperofthememories. I really want to do this one as I’m slowly bring all Mum’s craft stuff here and hopefully will have a dedicated craft space next year, especially as the kiddos want to craft with me now and the dining table isn’t cutting it (plus I want the dining table back for eating meals at lol). Um, nope.
• Week in the Life. I need to coral all my previous WitLs actually into an album. I did this year and I made (& completed a mini album) and added it to my yearly album.
• December Daily/Journal Your Christmas. Still going but nearly done.

I also added a new yearly album. I stopped doing Project Life and started using the Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters memory keeping system. I love it. I have almost completed the full 12 months. I’m hoping to do it again in 2022 if I can get my hands on the same books.

Come join us over at the Awesome Ladies Project for…..

This month I’m doing a selfie a day challenge which you can follow along with over on my Insta and join in using #2020SeptSelfies.

The amazing RUKristin of The Awesome Ladies Project & I are cohosting a 7 day photo challenge.

Its called 7 Photos, 7 Stories and it’s an intensive online ‘bootcamp/challenge’ where over the course of a week you’ll get all the tools you need to take seven amazing photos that will each tell a story all on their own.
By the end of the 7 days you’ll learn:

• How to use photography prompts to help you tell a specific story
• How to use whatever camera you have to get great results
• How to decide when a photo is good enough for your story
• How to take photographs of yourself (selfies) to help tell your story
• And how to see the story through the lens before you take the shot

Sound good?
